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.

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
