I second the No Slave 1 parking as mentioned by AI-BU9... apparently Boba Fett is not popular in Bosnia... though No Button Pushing Robotic Catfish would be my other guess.
Dudes, it doesn't matter if it's an angle grinder (which is totally is). The message is "no sparks". Sparks are bad if you're at a gas station. I suppose they figured that the angle grinder would be synonymous with the creation of sparks!
No one's asking the important question, which is: What does it say about Bosnian culture that an angle grinder is assumed to be immediately recognizable to the average gas station patron?
Looks like an angle grinder...? Is using power tools at the gas station a problem in Bosnia?
ReplyDeleteI think it might be a catfish or a squilla, but it seems pretty angry.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, very cool name that district has.
ReplyDeleteAlso, hello ninjasuperspy!
ReplyDeleteIs it a gas pump handle?
ReplyDeleteNo Slave-1 parking here.
ReplyDeleteDo not surprise the power tool.
ReplyDeleteDo not threaten the angle grinder, it has spider sense.
No crawling out of the primordial muck to take your first tentative steps on dry land?
ReplyDeleteDo not touch the screaming headless robot who is fucking a archery target?

ReplyDeleteI thought it was just a robot doing push ups. What's wrong with an android trying to get some exercise?
ReplyDeleteMaybe if you are that thing or are carrying that thing, you know that this sign means you.
ReplyDeleteNo sparks.
ReplyDeleteI'd bet my balls that Ninjasuperspy + Hn. Vic G Dada = correct answer. They're trying to show "no sparks".

I asked my Bosnian friend about this, and she had no idea either. She's checking with the home country, so hopefully we'll get an answer.
ReplyDeleteOH DEAR GOD THAT GUY'S FACE
ReplyDeleteIs it maybe a badly rendered bluetooth headset?
ReplyDeleteAre we voting? Because it's an angle grinder. I once used an angle grinder to cut through the cord of that very same angle grinder.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, because I once used a power saw to cut through the cable of the very same power saw.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think that guy put an angle grinder to his face, anyway?
Yes, my friend James also spotted it as an angle grinder, and I think the 'no sparks' theory is probably good.
ReplyDeleteBut were they really having problems with people grinding angles into things while they were buying gas?
I do also like the possibility that Boba Fett ruined his reputation in Bosnia at some point and isn't allowed to fuel up there.

ReplyDeleteI wonder what the powerful angle grinder lobby has to say about this sign.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, it's a shitty infographic of an angle grinder.
ReplyDeleteFootnote to this thread: my Bosnian connection informs me that this does indeed mean "usage of any devices that can create a spark is forbidden".
ReplyDeleteWow, wait...so we actually had someone look into this?
ReplyDeleteThat's AMAZING!
