WOW! Good thing you came home and made that call. Jeez, was no one else at home that day or did no one else smell that gas???
I "have a nose for gas". It's become a family joke, but the truth is, i really do. I can smell a gas leak even in it's earliest stages. Anyway, one day a few years back i took my son who was working at the local stupormarket to work. We walk into the store and i am HIT with the smell of gas, big time. Now you know how big stupormarkets are, so there had to be a considerable amount of gas in the air for me to be able to smell it so strongly. I immediately go to the store manager and tell him there's a gas leak. I mean, it was OBVIOUS. The idiot tells me there is no gas in the store and so there is no gas leak. I'm like, "come on! Don't you smell it??" And he insists there is no gas line and so no gas leak.
At this point i was afraid to leave me kid there at work. AND, mind you, other customers can smell the gas too. But idiot manager insists there's no gas.
I go home and call the fire department. They rush to the store and with their equipment find that indeed there is a gas leak somewhere.
Guess where? In the deli department. Apparently there's a stove back there and one of the jets was left on, with no flame. Just gas pouring out.
That thing must have been spewing for quite some time to have permeated all that square footage with the stench of gas.
Ask me if i wanted to punch that manager in the head. NO GAS in the store?
