After starting to work at a brand-name full-serve gas station, I have never let anyone else refuel my vehicle since.
Most gas jockeys ("Fuel Service Technicians" ?) are in a rush and honest mistakes are made. And, of course, some are jerks and do things intentionally.
During my shifts, I witnessed:
Dents in the side of the vehicle from nozzles hitting the side panels
Before pumping begins, gas flying out of the nozzles when being spun around towards the vehicles and splashing on trunks/roofs/doors
Gas splashing down the side of the vehicles due to the nozzle not being inserted all the way, and no attempt to clean it up (good bye paint job)
Oil being poured into the power steering fluid reservoir
Gas caps being placed face-down on top of the vehicle which leaves a ring of gas (good bye paint job)
Gas caps being placed face-down on top of snow-covered vehicles, thereby introducing water into the tank when the cap is screwed back on
Zippers/buttons/belts of employees scratching the paint job (especially when cleaning your windshield)
Urinating in the tank when the customer left to get a coffee at the next-door shop
Wiping off the oil dipstick to falsely indicate low oil, then pretending to refill the engine with an oil bottle where the bottle's seal hasn't been removed (my manager showed me that trick -- works well on female drivers)
Charging the customer the higher total on the other side of a dual-nozzle pump
It is a surprise. There are numerous browsers, but few (non-web) email clients. It's pretty much just Outlook.
Seems they have chosen to compete in the saturated browser market, rather than the email client market that has little-to-no competition, and is ripe for a new product that would help every business efficiently manage their day-to-day tasks.
When I was hauled into a meeting by I.T., I politely showed them where their developer had err'd, and received embarrassed apologies from them in front of my director.
We are shutting down your pacemaker at the end of this month as we are focusing on artificial hearts instead.
We recommend getting your affairs in order prior to that date.
As a sign of thanks for your years of loyalty, we've randomly picked the exact time that your pacemaker will stop working, so your actual death will still be genuine surprise.
We hope you continue to use our products for years to come,

Or, use Near Field Communication (NFC) to shut down their phone when they approach the curb.
It could then be expanded to other places, say every movie theatre seat, and elevators.

The laws are more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.

Welcome aboard the Black Pearl, Miss Turner.
I didn't read it either. I just looked at the pictures.
Karma definitely happened.
When I was hauled into a meeting by I.T., I politely showed them where their developer had err'd, and received embarrassed apologies from them in front of my director.
In the 15 years of my professional career, there's only been one day when I didn't want to come to work.
That was the day after the IT department accused me of intentionally crashing their network, and my Director didn't back me up.
That loss of confidence in my integrity was far worse than any spoken word.
Does this mean my handy "avoid-speeding-tickets" detector is going to beep every time a Ford goes by?
I'm already annoyed at the K Band alert going off every time I near a new vehicle that has driving assist technologies enabled.

Amazing what happens when one grows up and has to start paying their own way through life eh?
Placing a monetary value on "save the world" causes tends to put things in perspective.

Second, kill all the marketers.
