Woman Caught On Video At Gas Station Filling Plastic Bag With Gas, And People Have So Many Questions

Woman Caught On Video At Gas Station Filling Plastic Bag With Gas, And People Have So Many Questions
@barstoolsports/Twitter

There is nothing quite like watching others have no idea how chemistry works to start off your day.


An unidentified woman was caught on video at a Kroger gas station in an unidentified location pouring gasoline from the nozzle into a plastic bag.

She then attempted to tie up the plastic bag, double bag it and then put it in her trunk.

All while it is pouring rain outside.

This won't quite work out the way the woman seems to be hoping it will.

Gasoline easily melts through certain types of plastic because the chemical structure of gasoline and of simple plastics are very similar. If she has any more than a few minutes' drive home, the gasoline will dissolve the plastic bag(s) and make a huge mess of her trunk.

Though people were impressed by the effort.




While she may not have suffered the consequences of literally bagging gasoline on camera.

She would inevitably suffer them, because unfortunately chemistry is a rather exact science.





People are also marveling that there is a person like this in the world, who walks and talks and drives without major failure.





No word yet on where this was or the fate of the woman.

Luckily the rainy conditions should keep the gasoline from igniting and the highly flammable and explosive gas fumes from building up inside her car.

Seriously, folks.

Do NOT try this at home.

Owning and keeping an EMPTY gas container in your car for emergencies is a great idea and a good gift. This one, GARAGE BOSS GB310 Briggs and Stratton Press 'N Pour 1+ gallon Gas Can, is available here for under $15.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
