Wacky Weds: More outlets please…

You know there really is nothing wrong with these types of outlet adapters – they are UL listed after all…

But when you do this, you just might be… Breaking a few codes, voiding the UL listing, looking to start a fire, & the list goes on.

With that here is a bonus one for you…
Not sure what to make of this – this was the sign at a gas station under construction. Hmm maybe gas & diesel are evil but we will still gladly take your money? Sure didn’t see any electric vehicles in there so who knows. Have a great Wednesday everyone
