eli5: Why is there a -no mobile phone- sign at gas stations?

259 views

There are always signs that show the ban of cigarettes, matches and phones at gas stations. I can imagine fire being dangerous around gas, but you can’t possibly blow up a gas station with a mobile phone, can you?

I mean it’s probably the same paranoia about it that makes the no smoking signs

Researchers on the whole cigarette issue said it’s not a problem don’t worry about it, we we’re testing this and we were actively trying to get the dang things to light a fire here and it just wasn’t happening

I mean think about it, if there’s one sign I know people don’t listen to it’s no smoking, if that risk was high we’d be seeing a gas station per week blowing up
