Apparently, Allstate Insurance Co. gave away a tanker truck full of gas at a gas station in Milwaukee, WI for being the safest mid-sized town. In responce, literally hundreds of motorists queued up starting as early as midnight and waited hours for about $30 of gas each, leading to 2 accidents and multiple arrests for fistfights.

"waited for hours... for about $30 worth of gas"


I don't know about you, but my spare time is worth a hell of a lot more than $10-15 per hour.

What is it about the word "free" that makes people turn stupid?

They were already stupid. The 'free' part just makes them display it.

That's still not as bad as the lady who pissed herself while waiting in line for a $50 laptop.

Hell there are fistfights over toys every year-the day after Thanksgiving. One lady got trampled for a cabbage patch doll.

Hmmm, for the right laptop I'd do that. I can't fault her there.
