This is why you keep a flashlight in your glove compartment

What NOT to do when you get to a gas station:

Drive up to said gas station with a gas can on your passenger seat. Check

Decide to check to see how much gas is in the can by using a lighter. Check

Fail to understand gas is extremely flammable. Check

Yet this is exactly what a 27-year-old Joliet woman did on Tuesday, suffering 2nd-degree burns. Naperville City Desk sincerely hopes the young woman heals quickly and learns a valuable lesson from this mental lapse. If anyone cares to provide the woman's address we're happy to cut into the office fudgesicle fund to send her a flashlight and some batteries to keep in her car for any future lighting needs.
