I thought it was standard operating procedure to do the "piezo dance" every time you try to light up a BBQ grill, etc. You open the lid, squat down for safety, turn on the gas, and depress the push button repreatedly as fast as you can trying to get the grill to light before enough gas builds up for an explosion. It is normal summer entertainment around here to listen for the jackhammer / woodpecker / machinegun sound of one of your neighbors pounding away on their piezo starter trying to get their grill started with their eyebrows still intact.

Isn't this normal???
