Some comments from Oregonians:
quote:
A new law took effect in Oregon on Monday that allows Oregonians to pump their own gas in rural counties.
Oregon, along with New Jersey, are the only two states in the United States that require a gas station service member to pump a customer's gas. The remaining 48 states allow self-serving gas stations where customers pump their own gas.
Some comments from Oregonians:
quote:
"I've lived in this state all my life and I REFUSE to pump my own gas. I had to do it once in California while visiting my brother and almost died doing it. This a service only qualified people should perform. I will literally park at the pump and wait until someone pumps my gas. I can't even," -Mike Perrone
"I don't even know HOW to pump gas and I am 62, native Oregonian.....I say NO THANKS! I don't want to smell like gasoline!" - Sandy Franklin
"No! Disabled, seniors, people with young children in the car need help. Not to mention getting out of your car with transients around and not feeling safe too. This is a very bad idea. Grrr"- Cathy Dahl

Then, probably the most liked comment from a guy making fun of Oregon:
and this one

Jim Bryant FEAR NOT OREGON!!!!
I've decided to move to Oregon to open a school to teach people how to pump their own gas. Short term business you say? HA! I will simply branch out and offer classes on such complicated things as:
1. Tying your own shoes.
2. Dressing yourself.
3. Operating a self checkout machine.
4. Dial your own phone.
5. Mow your own lawn.
6. Split your own firewood.
7. How to feed yourself.
8. Make your own dinner.
9. Wash, dry and fold your own laundry. (Extra charge as these are three classes taught separately)
10. Operating a can opener, manual and electric.
11. Counting past 10.
12. Wiping your own butt.
I understand Oregon, adulting is hard and sometimes you someone to show you how. I'm here for you.

Kyle Allen One time, my dad came to Oregon and pumped his own gas. The street immediately lit on fire and he caused massive recession countrywide because he took away 20 billion jobs by pumping his own gas. I was in the back seat when brother was nabbed through the locked door by a transient creeper who raised him to be his human ottoman. My dad then tried wiping his windshield but the stuff he used turned out to be sulfuric acid. The car exploded with me in it and I died. My dad lost 3 parenting points because he was 2 feet away fueling his car when he could have had someone else do this very simple task for him.

It really is saying something about the state of the world that there are absurd comments in there that I am not sure if they are joking.

Idk man, I bet there are a ton of rural Oregon residents who have never left Oregon and who legit think that this is a bad thing and have similar mindsets to the "think of the kids and disabled" person.

Hilarious. I never knew of the law. Went to NJ years ago, got out the rental car to pump and you would have thought I was a terrorist. People freaked the frick out cause I was gonna pump my own gas.

This is how you white privilege.....what a derp

I remember the full service stations in LA back in mid 90s. Think gas was like .10-.15 more. Then you had to tip.
Still remember Mom writing the check

Yeah people have this view of Oregon because of places like Portland but 90% of the state is pretty backwoods hillbilly

These are some of the people that hear you mention you're from the south and automatically think you are dumb.
