This is a question The Dirty Secrets of Your Trade

So, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.

We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Petrol stations
So back when I worked in a petrol station we got this advisory... "Mustn't use mobile phones when filling up as it could cause a fire" etc...

That's actually complete crap. And yet people believe it to this day. The REAL reason for that has nothing to do with safety, and EVERYTHING to do with the fact they're worried the signals will make the pump go "Petrol? What petrol?" as it fills your car. Just like certain brands of pump did back when CB Radio was popular. If you keyed the mike on a certain channel next to one of these pumps, you got free petrol.
