I hate gas station attendents

[ec437]

I live in Oregon. The only state in the union that doesn't let you pump your own gas. I used to like having to have people pump my gas for me, but now I hate it. Why?

I pull into the station and say "fill it with premium please"
attendant says "alright, sure."
he fills it with regular.
I notice, and say "umm... I asked for premium..."
he says "Oh. Sorry."
he doesn't do anything about it.
I say, "aren't you going to do anything about it?"
he says "well, I already pumped the gas, so you kind of have to pay for it."
ass.

dammit.... we all know high compression lexus V8's just love regular

Man that sucks.... They made the mistake ...You should not have to pay for it....What happens if you pump your own gas??

[clawhammer]

If you don't live too far from the state line, drive across it and pump your own gas.

What happens if I pump my own gas? I put the right damn kind of gas in it! But seriously, they would come out real pissed off and not let you. If the station lets people pump their own gas, they get in big trouble.

And yeah, I would drive to washington to get gas, but I can't really justify driving the 30 some miles... it would just take too long.

Not true. In NJ...thank god...its illegal to pump your own gas. Personally, I like it when they pump your gas for you. I always go to the same gas station, unless I'm not in the area. And when I do have to go to another, no offence, but I tend to try to pick the gas stations that don't have the little middle eastern men who dont understand or speak english. I know what its like to have a mix up, I've had 1 or 2 before also, but they have taken care of it for me and given me free gas...I'm sorry you had such a problem

I thought new jersey changed that law. And this gas station had some caucaisian college student that apparently hadn't gotten enough sleep that week

I think Jersey is like that too. I was on a road trip with my wife and stoped at a gas station. When I walked into the store my wife was listening to the radio, when I walked out, whe was pumping gas for three little punks in a Benz. They were standing by the car while my wife pushed the buttons and put the hose in the car. I looked at them and said "Can I ask you why the fuck my wife is pumping your gas" he said they were from Jersey and never did it before. He was nervous and ofered to pay for my gas, my wife wouldn't let me. I'm so whipped!

I totally can't believe they couldn't figure out how to pump gas. Heck I could do that when I was like 10. Losers.

It's illegal in Oregon to pump your own gas. My husbands parents live down there and everytime we go down they pump our gas and I hate it. I just think its retarded and lazy.

And if they had done that with my car I would've thrown a fit and demanded my tank to be drained and refilled with premium. Not because it absolutely can't have regular, but because I would've been pissed at his attitude. I would've been a major bitch. And I would not have paid for the regular he put in either. I don't do well with shitty customer service.

And thats when I fill up in Washington before I go down to his parents so I have enough gas to get to about Longview/Kelso Washington before I have to refill again to avoid the gas stations in Oregon.

You should be able to sue him for possible damage to your car... If you're not legally able to put your own gas into your own car and someone fucks it up, it's not your fault and you shouldn't pay for it. I'd at least tell someone about it.

[FormulaLT1]

I live in New Jersey and here people don't even attempt to pump there own gas. Thats some crazy law, I don't understand what the reasoning behind making it manditory to have someone else pump your gas. Although I am forced to use premuim in both my vehicles also and I watch the attendent very carefully when they go to turn on the pump on. I grew up in NY and moved here from Cali so about a year ago when I moved here. I would get out of my car to pump my own gas all the time and those gas station attendents can run damn quick when you reach for the pump

[Gotti]

you're stupid for paying for the gas.... i would of never paid if they fucked up. Its his fault, you win

[Beastiek2]

I havnt had someone pump gas for me in forever except with I go to SIX FLAGS and English town in NJ. I personally dont like it.

I've never had anyone pump gas for me....How friggin lazy are the people in your states!?

Honestly, if you dont know how to pump your own gas, you shouldn't be allowed to drive.

I'm not good at pumping gas...and I'd much rather someone do it for me while i stay warm in the car...some call it lazy, yes...but have you seen my try to pump gas? I mean seriously, the gas attendants sit in their little booth and laugh at me.

[Whisper]

I would do a whole flip routine on someone pumping the wrong type. A cross between some military sgt-major and hysterical ditz blonde. Enought to draw lots of attention and want his manager to shut me up.

Not know how to fill up the tank? What kind of education do you guys get?

I pump my own gas. The gas station guys still all know me.
