[quote]Workers at a Florida petrol station have been praised for saving the life of a baby who was born in a toilet cubicle.
The staff had no idea the child's mother was in labour when she asked for the key to the outdoor bathroom in Palm Beach Gardens at 5am on Sunday.
But she emerged minutes later cradling the newborn child in her jacket, forcing attendant Tammy Camp to act fast.
"I noticed she had something in her arms, she was bleeding. We saw the baby and she said she just had a baby," Tammy said.
"She thought the baby died, she laid it on the (boot of the car) and that's when I took the baby."
The child wasn't breathing and the shocked woman took it back to her car, believing it was dead.
Tammy, a grandmother-to-be, called the emergency services who advised her over the telephone.
"I tried to stimulate the baby, 911 told me to clear the airway," say recounted. "It started making noise."
A short time later, the cry of the newborn baby girl sounded out around the I-95/Northlake Shell petrol station.
Palm Beach Gardens Fire-Rescue soon arrived to tend to the child and her mother, who was bleeding profusely.
The pair were then taken to a nearby hospital, where they are said to be healthy.
Tammy's boss, the petrol station's owner Kevin Dalton, praised his employee as a "hero" for her reaction to the early-morning delivery.
"(Usually) our employees have to react to idiots coming from the bars," he said, before adding "things were a little different" on this occasion.[/quote]

My state is retarded.
Big deal, women give birth in all kinds of strange places. The mother is stupid for not knowing if she was in labor or not.
"Mommy which hospital was I born in?"
"Aw sweetie you were born at a gas station."
I was confused by the term "Petrol Station" at first.
I hate my state...
My Aunt gave birth to her first girl in a Kmart restroom
For a second I read this as woman gives birth to a Playstation.
How do they clear the airways anyway? Turn it upside down and slap it or what?

Would you guys stop this shit? Every time someone makes a thread about an idiot, there's someone posting: "I hate my state" or "I hate humanity." It's retarded.
Born in a gas station? That's just super.

Rated bad reading. Without even looking at the article, you should know that:
1. He was joking with that post. A funny joke.
2. Petrol is not American. Well, it is but it's not the term used.
And in the article it plainly says Yahoo: U.K. and Ireland.
Read it as "Florida Woman Gives Birth To Petrol Station"

Rated dumb.
1. It clearly states this happened in Florida.
2. His quote wasn't even talking about the original article at all, so providing your last two points was irrelevant.

That baby is off to a good start in life.
The fact the mother was able to push it out on her own without support is remarkable however.

Why?

One person does not equal the entire population in the world/state.
I love being a Floridian, but this story doesn't top the guy from Jacksonville calling the police because his sub didn't have enough seasoning.
Petrol sounds cooler than gas
my state is totally awesome yo
Florida is the dick of the United States, and also the funniest.
