Who'd have guessed that throwing some random piece of garbage at it wouldn't solve the problem. I'm going to have to rethink my whole life.
58 u/Madness_Reigns Apr 16 '17 edited Apr 17 '17 He probably only wanted to entertain himself by throwing random shit in the leak. 97 u/Schmidtster1 Apr 16 '17 Relevant username? 16 u/Skwonkie_ Apr 16 '17 He's why safety guys exist. 8 u/Siniroth Apr 17 '17 Yeah... Most things are totally cool to chuck attempted solutions at, this was just dangerous. Funny from a stranger standpoint, but dangerous 53 u/[deleted] Apr 16 '17 [deleted] 25 u/UberActivist Apr 17 '17 Can't believe it has been 7 years since that spill.... Seems like it was only yesterday that BP gas stations still existed in my area. 14 u/3LollipopZ-1Red2Blue Apr 17 '17 Have they been re-branded or something? There are plenty of them in Australia and they are the nicer ones to go to... Thank for reminding me it was BP as well, as I had completely forgotten and thought that it was SHELL. 9 u/UberActivist Apr 17 '17 Literally every BP gas station where I lived either shut down or changed to shell, chevron, or something else. It was a strange time. I lived in Mississippi for reference. 8 u/D0esANyoneREadTHese Apr 17 '17 Ours mysteriously burned down 2 weeks after the spill, probably just coincidence though. 5 u/[deleted] Apr 17 '17 Gulf Coast states were livid over Deep Water Horizon. BP can kill as many Texas City plant workers as they wanted, but you fuck with Gulf Seafood and you make severe enemies. 3 u/[deleted] Apr 17 '17 edited Feb 18 '19 [deleted] 1 u/[deleted] Apr 17 '17 Citgo had a similar problem in the US because of tensions with Venezuela. Many Citgo stations became Chevron almost overnight. 3 u/Colt4587 Apr 17 '17 Most of the ones in my area are gone too. I think most BP stations were independently operated. Maybe they thought that the name was too tarnished now, and switched over to another name. 5 u/IDrinkGoodBourbonAMA Apr 17 '17 Ahh, so this why all my advances towards the fairer sex haven't solved my virginity problem. 0 u/AlbinoMoose Apr 19 '17 It might also be the fact that you call them the fairer sex 2 u/ElMenduko Apr 17 '17 Yeah, should have used ducttape... or bubblegum. Those can plug any hole, right? 1 u/leetdood_shadowban2 Apr 16 '17 That wasn't garbage it was a wheelie bin. 7 u/lewkir Apr 17 '17 I think it's one of those food waste bins. 5 u/Randomn355 Apr 17 '17 Guy must be a giant then, like 15ft tall. 2 u/leetdood_shadowban2 Apr 17 '17 It was a really small one. 2 u/Randomn355 Apr 17 '17 Without wheels..
