People keep confusing natural gas with propane for kitchen stoves and it drives me crazy

I was helping my aunt set up her new stove last Saturday in her cabin upstate. She kept saying it was natural gas but I saw the tank outside was clearly propane. The fittings are different the pressure is different and if you hook up a natural gas line to a propane stove you'll get a fireball. I learned this the hard way when I helped a buddy in Brooklyn hook up his grill wrong 3 years ago. Has anyone else seen electricians or plumbers mix these two up at work?

My Brooklyn buddy learned that propane lesson too, fireball and all.

@lisa_wilson87 reminds me of my cousin who thought he could grill with lighter fluid on a windy day. Lost his eyebrows for a solid month, but at least the hot dogs were done.
