Bout lost it on this one

“Yuck! Pumping my [own] fuel in freezing temperatures and handling a nasty ole fuel nozzle that 50 other people have touched that day (and who knows what cooties are on there), no thank you. It’s nice to not have to pump your own fuel.”

I pumped gas in -14 degrees yesterday morning. Windchill was -27.

You can drive a car but can't learn to pump gas. Wut.

Yep...that's Oregon for you.

I actually hate the fact I can't pump my own gas.

I was in New Jersey once and they had an attendant. I thought it was weird.

Just out of curiosity, do(or should I say, did) you need a gas station attendant to use fuel additives?

I hope to god this comment is a joke.

I've lived in this state all my life and I REFUSE to pump my own gas. I had to do it once in California while visiting my brother and almost died doing it. This a service only qualified people should perform. I will literally park at the pump and wait until someone pumps my gas. I can't even

I used to hook up with a girl from Connecticut that said when she moved to New Mexico she was freaked out that she had to pump her own gas. I guess she literally sat in the car for like 15 minutes the 1st time she went to the station before she finally went inside and found out that she had to pump her own. Then she had to figure out how to actually do it.

Edit: In retrospect she was probably lucky she never got diesel. She was fun to hook up with but not that bright.

You'd have to be really stupid or driving a car made over 30 years ago to have a chance of making that mistake. Diesel nozzles are wider and won't fit into an unleaded fuel tank's opening.

You can tell I've never owned a diesel vehicle..

When I was a kid full service gas stations were quite common.
