Maybe they think they’ll be too stoned to pump their own gas.

Mike Perrone said he's been living in Oregon his whole life and refuses to pump his own gas. The reason? "I had to do it once in California while visiting my brother and almost died doing it."

What a fag.

Ill admit, I thought this lazy and stupid practice was allowed only in NJ. What is so challenging about getting out of your car and placing the gas hose in the tank? It’s unhealthy to be sitting on your ass for long periods of time.

Must be a fine and comfy life these people live when their greatest trauma is wrought by this.

This is funny.

Though I do remember the days when attendants would pump the gas, clean your windows and check your oil as a routine thing.

Big gas stations used to give out green stamps and some would give you gifts like balloons for the kids or a drinking glass.

But even then everybody still knew how to pump their own gas.

I actually saw this in social media from a friend in Oregon (a transplant). OMG! It was hilarious! The amount of people claiming all the jobs that would be lost in Oregon and even “people will be blowing themselves up because they don’t know how to pump gas” claims.

It was so over the top, I had to go check to see if it was a joke or satire or something.

It is more evidence that most of the sheeple in this nation have become to stupid to participate in self governance.

The one time I drove through Oregon, I recall stopping for gas. As I picked up the nozzle, the clerk came running out of the station, yelling "Stop! You're breaking the law! Don't pump that gas!"

"You're kidding. Seriously?"

"Yes! Please don't pump your own gas! I'll have to report you to the police if you do!"

(Handing him the nozzle) "It's all yours."

I have traveled in & out of Oregon several times.

I never understood the law about NOT letting a car owner pump their own gas.

I was told it was ‘because gasoline was ‘carsogenic’.

Seemed to me a far larger danger to the employees who did nothing BUT PUMP GASOLINE for 8-10 hours a day as a job.

Oregoners, it's OK, you'll survive. Well, most of you.

I really don’t remember the last time I had an attendant pump gas into the car for me. It’s been a long time.

The winning comment on the article:

"I cannot believe 2018 is gonna be the year I make a fortune moving to Oregon to teach people how to pump gas," wrote one person on Twitter.

Initially I would think they would start out with self serve and full serve, right? So people that are willing to pay more can still have someone pump their gas. Then over time everyone figures out they too can actually pump gas and save money and the full-serv goes away.

It’s like a time travel exercise.

Federal drug laws totally preempt Californicate laws. Where is little jeffy session to crack down under the constitution? He just let’s it go. No one has seen him in 30 days.

If you aren’t capable of pumping your own gas, then I doubt that you’re capable of wiping your ***.

I’m so old I remember when the attendant pumped gas, checked fluid levels, put air in the tires AND gave you a set of glasses with a fill-up!
