I guess they haven't invented wedging your keys/bottle opener under the handle in other countries yet huh?

Kenny Logins posted:Further to this, it would depend on the state. I think there are still states where you can't legally pump your own gas much less do it on auto. I think New Jersey does this. I remember driving through there a few years ago and the attendant freaked out about it being illegal when he caught me pumping it myself.

Know how when you fill the tank the handle clicks and it stops pumping even though you hold the trigger down? That. Funny picture:  The model plane did not hit/kill the horse.

dialhforhero posted:If I understand you correctly: yes. There is this little wedge that is attached to the trigger that can be set up against usually 2 or 3 different 'stops' and it holds the trigger up for you. Thank you simple machines. Most stations around here removed them after some shithead kids decided it would be fun to put the trigger on the stop on the inactive pumps. The next poor sucker pays, selects octane, picks up the handle and gets gas everyfuckingwhere. Thanks a lot, you good-for-nothing shithead dumbass poorly-raised kids!

Most places I know people use cards to pay at the pump or have cards that will start the machine so they can pay afterwards. Even in those places where you exclusively have to pay before pumping the machines are going to have a built in system to know when the tank is full.

Darth Freddy posted:No gas lock lever must suck for any one with a large diesel tank or stuff like welders/generators to fill up. It does. I was a coach bus driver for my unit in Hawaii, and when I first started driving that behemoth (221 gallon tank), then diesel nozzle at the base's fuel farm didn't have the lock. At some point, they did install one, which made filling that thing up from halfway (where we tried to keep it) so much better.

Darth Freddy posted:No gas lock lever must suck for any one with a large diesel tank or stuff like welders/generators to fill up. Most pumps also have a little button that makes it pump 4-5x faster. Don't use it in your car though because at that pressure the locking mechanism let slip half a gallon or so. Glad I could be of help in the gas nozzle discussion thread.

Modern Day Hercules posted:What the hell kind of poo poo are you expecting? You give them an amount of money and they turn that money into gasoline and put it in your car. Should they dance while they do it? It's one guy for as many pumps as the station has, always on his phone, usually with only a loose understanding of English (including numbers and the words associated with pumping gas) who will take his sweet rear end time getting to your car even when you're the only one at the station, will take his sweet rear end time coming back to your cat after the pump finishes, will attempt to top of your tank even if you tell him not too. And one of them broke the door off of my gas tank one time and didn't tell me so I didn't realize until I got home. That's just the worst case scenario guy, but most of the attendants will exhibit several of the practices described above, especially the taking of their sweet rear end time. And you can't just decide to go to a station with better service because 95% of the guys are like this across the state. I work in retail, I would be fired in a second if I dealt with customers like has station attendants deal with the general public. That being said, the guys who work at the rest stops on the highways are very good, so if you're just passing through the state you'll get good service. But once you get to the local stations the quality of service just drops through the floor.

Tiger hit him right in the face with a drive. First drive of the tournament, I believe. Golf ball bounced off the guy's skull like it'd hit a cart path. I'm pretty sure he required medical attention.

Evil Crouton posted:I think New Jersey does this. I remember driving through there a few years ago and the attendant freaked out about it being illegal when he caught me pumping it myself. I wasn't born here but I learned to drive here. I've never pumped my own gas. I drove to philly once and was out of gas and pulled in and waited five minutes before I realized what side of the river I was on and that nobody was coming to help me. I took my chances and drove over that bridge on fumes. I am a rank coward and would do anything to avoid that situation, that whole, how do I make it do? Are there instructions? Do I look dumb looking around for instructions? Do I pay now or later? There was a rich character on the simpsons who never pumped her own gas and marge lifted a thing to make it work. What if there's no thing to lift? What if the simpsons lied to me and I waste time looking for a thing to lift? God willing I'll never have to find out.

Golf ball bounced off the guy's skull like it'd hit a cart path. I'm pretty sure he required medical attention. Am I the rear end in a top hat if I think that this is fine? I mean, it's a loving game of golf and you're standing around the green, that poo poo wouldn't fly during casual play so why do they allow spectators at these pro events?
