“I don’t even know HOW to pump gas and I am 62, native Oregonian . . . I say NO THANKS! I don’t like to smell like gasoline!” one woman wrote on KTVL’s Facebook post.
Does this old lady think you get gas in the car by rolling around in a puddle of it?
Oregon's a big state, but you'd figure that they would have left it at some point, and once you enter California, pretty much no place has full service stations.
Then again, some of the rural parts of Oregon might as well be Appalachia, so I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised.
Yeah, it is pretty weird. When I was a kid I remember gas stations in WA that had a full service option, but I can't remember ever seeing anyone using it. Like, why would you pay some dilhole to pump your gas?
At least I can sort of pump it myself when I'm on my motorcycle.
You don't have to pay extra for full service. Well, I guess technically it gets rolled into the price per gallon but our gas is much cheaper than California so who cares.
Yeah, I was talking about places that used to offer full and self serve. Full service was always like $.10 more per gallon. Now I drive so little I couldn't even tell you how much gas costs.
I forget the actual figure but it's something like less than 10% of the state's residents are affected. Almost everyone lives in the Willamette Valley. 40k people is a very small number when you realize how truly massive most counties in Oregon are.
It's for real. I learned to drive in Oregon and had to learn how to pump gas separately after moving. I had to get someone from the gas station to help me, super embarrassing
I spent ten minutes pondering how to besmirch these retards using unorthodox sexual preferences, but was unable to come up with a concise statement that labeled them all as narcissistic autogynephilic trannies, so I give up. We need a term like 'fags' that confers such a reference in short-hand.

Sarcasm and flippant behavior represent contempt, which is the opposite of intellectual integrity. You seem like a real fool of a human.

I'm assuming all this stupidity is because of Portland.
1 liquidm 2018-01-09
The law only affects rural towns so basically all of Oregon except Portland
1 trapochaphouse 2018-01-09
Portland is like 99% out of state transplants too. So if anything we're more likely than the rest of the state to have pumped our own gas just fine.

Yeah, rural Oregon is some real shit. Crazy poor and massive amounts of drugs.

It was ridiculous going through Oregon and not being able to pump my own gas.
1 toynbeeidea16 2018-01-09
New Jersey has the same deal, no self-serve pumps.

Imagine being this liberal
1 snallygaster 2018-01-09
Rural Oregon is conservative m8
1 xrandx 2018-01-09
Probably lands more on the libertarian spectrum than conservative.
1 johnaust2013 2018-01-09
is this a real thing ? I thought it was just a joke, Ive lived in England and Australia and we've been pumping our own gas ever since I can remember.
1 im-a-koala 2018-01-09
Virtually all the US is like that too, Oregon is just an outlier.
1 Thhueros 2018-01-09
There’s Jersey too
1 fingerpaintswithpoop 2018-01-09
Only in Oregon and New Jersey. The state governments mandated gas stations have an attendant on hand to pump gas in an attempt to create more jobs.
In the other 48 states people pump their own gas just like you do.

>implying someone so plebian that they pump their own gas counts as "people"
1 johnaust2013 2018-01-09
thats a good idea actually to help people get jobs.

if someone tried to pump my petrol Id probably put him on his arse !
1 Chromebookbitches 2018-01-09
It seems like to me, that anyone who can't confidently and securely pump their own gas shouldn't be driving a car in the first place.
Pumping gas is easier than the responsibility of driving.
1 ConsoleWarCriminal 2018-01-09
It's just like sex. Stick the pump in, wiggle it a little, then hit the trigger and wait to finish.

NK, just nuke it all.

"This [is] a service only qualified people should perform. I will literally park at the pump and wait until someone pumps my gas.”
I think this is the best quote out of all of them.
1 freet0 2018-01-09
The machines even tell you how to use them. This shit makes the self checkout line look like docking the space shuttle.
