Police received a call from the clerk around 3:40 a.m. reporting that a someone was trying to set the gas pumps on fire at the station located in the 2500 block of East La Palma Avenue.

While waiting for officers to arrive, the clerk ended up in a confrontation with the suspect, a spokesperson for the Anaheim Police Department said.

“He was chasing me around with his shirt on fire,” the clerk, Tuan Nguyen, said after the incident.

The suspect eventually entered the store and started to smoke cigarettes behind the counter using his burning shirt to light them, Nguyen said.

There should be security cam footage of that.

“He was chasing me around with his shirt on fire,” the clerk ... said after the incident. The suspect ... started to smoke cigarettes behind the counter using his burning shirt to light them ...

Even that is nowhere near as bizarre as "the worst Presidential candidate" in American history (as Trump describes Biden) supposedly "receiving" 81M+ "votes," thus making him "the most popular U.S. President in history."

“I think this even surpasses Florida Man standards.”

Not a fair comparison. FloridaMan often performs his feats completely sane, stone sober and clean!

Using your own blazing shirt to light up a smoke.

Doesn’t get any cooler than that.
