I noticed at Walmart a couple of weeks ago that the price on gas cans had "skyrocketed."
Now I know why.

There is always a greater idiot out there that you simply cannot design a product around.
Of course I’m sorry for the innocents that get hurt due to a moron adult BUT there comes a point where stupid people become a danger to society and we should let their own actions doom them. Yup - heartless, I know. And frankly, I’d like to see the fool with the gas can hug his lawyer and enjoy a good cigar together.

I had to buy a new gas can a while back. It had the government approves safety spout that leaks gas, makes a mess, doesn’t work and is obviously prone to starting fires when refilling hot equipment.

I know this, if I ever meet the SOB responsible for those three hand safety nozzles that are mandated for all new gas cans, I’m kicking them square in the cashews! I did however figure out how to hack them and turn them into a straight through nozzle.

The father kills his daughter when blowing up his camper by pouring gas into a wood-burning stove and is only 30% responsible?
To: AdamBomb
I should add that if something bad HAD happened, it would be unconscionable to blame the maker of the can.

I have one of those cans, and I'm short of money.
I wonder how much money I could get if I DRANK some of the gasoline.
I checked... there are no warnings not to drink the gas... Of course there are warnings about putting the gas on fire and the poor innocents still got money.
Maybe the user couldn't read or maybe it was in the wrong language.
or Oh maybe the warnings are just imprinted in the plastic so only good eye sight can read it.
But the poor victims of defective plastic cans probably knew that gasoline burns... oh!
Or maybe they thought gas extinguishes fires!
Geez... I wonder how much gas I could drink without killing myself?
A 5th?

I had a fit with mine untlil I realized how easy it was to break off all the safety feature tabs. Now it’s very easy to get the top unscrewed and easy to pour gas from it.

I just quite buying the plastic cans. The spouts are a ridiculous Rub Goldburg affair that dont work. The old plastic can w/ a simple spout was the last addition and its glacially slow. My newest is a metal can w/ a removable plastic spout/funnel which works really great and is fast!!. It was pricey BUT it works and gives a fast fill....and should last several life times. Hopefully it wont appear on anyones radar and get redesigned.

I'm in line right behind you.
Took two gas cans on a camping trip with gas for the generator. One old one and one of those stupid new ones. It was 100 degrees and the new one swelled up like a balloon. Don't know what the burst rating on it was. Do know it spilled gas all over the place when I unscrewed the stupid siphon.
I'm sure more vapors were released because of that than were let out when I flipped the little vent cap on the old one.
I swear, the world is being run by certified morons.

There is always a greater idiot out there that you simply cannot design a product around.
Just this morning I saw snippet of news here in Michigan about restaurants being investigated due to complaints that the food doesn't look the same as pictures on the menu.
We simply cannot survive as a nation with this much stupidity dragging us down and we can survive a bloated government that feels the need to intervene in this much stupidity.
