Another Richmond driver is under the microscope of social media following a bizarre scene at the Superstore gas station last Thursday.

A woman was photographed pouring gasoline from the pump onto her bumper in order to scrub something off of it.

Natalie Shantz told CTV News she witnessed the dangerous act, took a photo and posted it on Reddit.com where it then went viral.

Shantz said the woman caused a commotion and customers and gas attendants eventually intervened.

The incident is more odd considering Richmond has a bylaw that requires every pump to be full-serve, unlike all other municipalities save for Coquitlam.
