New Jerseyans React To The Idea Of Pumping Their Own Gas

Nicole Brewer reports.

[@jakegandy500]

Saw a guy sitting at a gas pump for like an hour and finally people were like wtf are you doing he said he was waiting on someone to pump his gas said he was from New Jersey lol this happened in alabama

[@coldstonecanc3rgang994]

He needs to take his car and drive it off a bridge lmao.

I was born in South Carolina and grew up in Ohio. I’ve never known that Jersey and Oregon had “gas attendants.” I thought that was something from the 1950’s lol

[@Rspsand07]

The club I went to in Cuba had a woman in front of the toilets, and you'd have to ask her for toilet paper. She had the roll in her hands and would give you a few pieces, none inside the toilet... Like ???

This is so weird... like I live in N.C. and hearing these ppl talk about them pumping their own gas like “I don’t wanna smell like gas” or “it’s so dangerous” is hilarious. Pumping your own gas is just how’s it’s done where I grew up

[@bond10151]

Lane Hatcher yea same here born and raised in NC I honestly didnt know Oregon and NJ still had full service until Oregon passed the law allowing some places full service and boy was I blown away by people freaking about having to do it now haha

[@brianloeffler8836]

@@bond10151 I have the misfortune of living in Oregon, and Oregon is not full service its government compliance. It's waiting in long lines just to get to the pump and when I get to the pump I pump my gas myself. The attendant hardly ever has a problem with it mostly because there is only one sometimes two people that are working at that gas station no matter how big the station is.

[@yannick245]

Pumping your own gas is the world standard since the late 60's/early 70's. Here in Germany, except for some Shell stations, you don't even have the option to being served at a gas station, for decades.

[@liamwelsh5565]

I don't know how pumping gas can be dangerous. Turn off your engine and don't smoke anywhere near the pumps. As of smelling like gas, you won't smell like gas as long as you're not clumsy and spill it on yourself.

[@frostbite3318]

Smoking while pumping gas isn’t even dangerous

[@liamwelsh5565]

@@frostbite3318 Are you an idiot or being sarcastic? Gasoline vaporizes very quickly when the container is not sealed (open gas tank). Those vapors are flambable and can reach your cigarette and the vapours will ignite. Not to mention the ground around the pump is very likely to have gasoline on it. You ash your cigarette or throw it on the ground, same thing happens.

[@Simon-oy7kf]

For real. I drive a motorcycle and I couldn’t grasp the concept of someone filling for me they’d overflow or spill all over my bike like no get away from me i can do it my damn self like any other maintenance i do on my bike. On my damn own as any operator of a machine should

[@thomasmeador6134]

Baby I live in Texas and have pumped my own gas my whole life

[@lamarr912]

I've been pumping my own gasoline for the past 4 years, and I've been pumping my mama's gasoline for the past 16, and I have never smelled of gasoline. Diesel on the other hand, once that gets on your hands on your clothes, that smell is on you for days. I am from North Carolina, I don't know where a full service gas station would be in my area. But I've always said this: if you drive your own car, you should pump your own gas.

[@magictrick8833]

Well it’s good for creating jobs

[@danparish1344]

It’s the same as raising taxes to pay for unneeded government jobs. The car owner now pays a little more every time they fill up, basically a tax.

[@ronzandroid]

So how do I go drain the lizard at the gas station restrooms? Do I hold onto my own lizard, or it that consider illegal also?

[@brianb7423]

I think the gas attendant assists you on that one too. They have to be wearing gloves though, and no eye contact

[@DoubleOddJosh]

[@danielgrossberg1411]

In the radical liberal states like jersey, you probably need to go through regulations to drain ur own lizard. And social services for it And of course a lizard tax to pay for it all

This is so bizarre to me. Pumping gas is such a simple process. Why was this necessary is the first place?

[@ganymedehedgehog371]

Artificial creation of jobs

[@azzir325]

Pumping gas is not a problem for me. What pisses me off is NY State telling me "You are too stupid to be trusted with a 'hold on' device on your pump." I've done some traveling and NY is the ONLY state I've come across that mandates gas stations to remove the hold on from their pumps. Thank you nanny state!

[@bobbysmith5642]

ummm That is why you bring a tennis ball with you when travelling to retard states!

[@lalakers1984]

[@CesarMartinez-oo5uo]

So do they tell the person to fill up how much? For example if i wanted 2 gallons of gas do they do that? Or do they just fill it up completely? This is weird to think its illegal to pump gas to you car.

[@ManuelMartinez-hx8gs]

Obviously you pay what you fill

[@thefreestate762]

I grew up in Idaho and Utah, I now live in Arizona. The strangest feeling in the world is sitting in your car while someone ELSE fills it with gas! I PREFER doing it myself, I get more in my tank that way!

As a New Jerseyan who knows how to pump gas, I would have to disagree with people who oppose it for these reasons, DISCLAIMER: These opinions are slightly biased due to the fact that I know how to do it 1. Usually you have to wait for the employee to come and fill you up, and nobody likes waiting 2. you save a little bit of money (the extra few cents add up for big vehicles and for the insanely high prices nowadays) 3. it gives you something to do when you are at a gas station in the middle of no man's land, USA 4. no anxiety over how much and what type of gas you are getting because you don't have to trust a random guy to do it 5. its sooo easy
