Oregonians "Freaking Out" Over New Law That Requires You To Pump Your Own Gas

Question

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/01/03/oregonians-freaking-out-over-law-requires-some-them-pump-their-own-gas/1000215001/

{"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"}

Are you FU##ING kidding me?!?!? I'm pretty sure we could show Koko the sign language ape how to perform this "highly qualified service" ONCE and she would be able to do it. Anyone else like me when you were like 7 or 8 would jump out of your parent's car and pump the gas?

Exactly.....

Combine this with that Liberty Mutual insurance commercial where a couple of Milleni-tards get a flat tire.....

"I know what a lug wrench is dad!!!! (is this a lug wrench?)"

"Maybe"

I know it's a "commercial", but I'm guessing this is more reality than fantasy. Let's hope all these snowflakes don't run out of gas or get a flat on their way to the puppy hugging station at their campus safe space.....

Jesus, if this represents a look into the future, this country is doomed.....

Mercy, brother. I can think of dozens of things that should be left to trained, qualified people.

1. Boiling water

2. Flushing the toilet

3. Opening a bag of potato chips

4. Touching the power button symbol on any electronic device

5. Answering a ringing phone

The list could be endless and create, jobs, jobs, jobs. Unemployment at 0%. Many thanx to Oregon; the rest of the country never would have thought of it.

What&#x27;s this country coming to huh? That leaves New Jersey as the lone holdout on this mind boggling everyday task.

KeyElement · Answer

What the hell are you talking about? "lone holdout"? Do you honestly think there are 49 states that require people to pump their own gas?

Midnight1 · Answer

Jersey bans self service stations. Reread what I said Key

No sh/t? I would not have guessed there were two states that retarded (pardon me, intellectually challenged). Well, at least it is an East Coast-West Coast thing and the hillbilly South and hick Mid-West do not take the heat. Good for them as I have not heard of any gas pump disasters in either area for many years. Oregon may have a point though. Half gassed teenagers chilling on marijuana could easily think pumping gas while smoking was a really cool idea. You just never know.

Years ago, full service gas stations were more common. For mainly safety concerns, municipal bylaw requires attendents to pump gas for customers. But laws change over time and now self-serve stations are more common. Still, some drivers prefer to pay more for full service such as the elderly or those who didn't want to smell like fuel.
