Cellphones in a gas station. Also double dipping in a sauce or dip.
Was this a technological change, or did gas stations just not want people loitering on their phones?
It's probably just a precaution measurement or for liability reasons (like don't put your hamster in the microwave).
Here's more to read: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fuelish-pleasures/ The rumour of cellphones not to be allowed at gas stations has proven to be false.
People used to be paranoid about it. I was using my cell phone at a gas station once (15+ years ago) and the cashier remotely shut off the pump until I put my phone back in the car.
