I didn't realize it was

I didn't realize it was actually ILLEGAL for us to pump our own gas in Oregon. I thought it was just that the CITIZENS made it a law for ATTENDANTS to pump our gas. I went and got gas today and they filled up my tank good and proper. It filled, the nozzle shut off, and then I just sort of sat there. Watched the attendants walk by, waited longer than I ever have in the three years since I've moved here. So I got out, took the nozzle out of the truck, and put it back in the holster. THEN I got accosted: "Sir, I realize you are in a hurry, but YOU CAN'T DO THAT." Then I looked it up when I got home and found out they could have called the cops on me and given me a $500 fine. I can't belive how much that pissed me off. Posted by Curt at August 5, 2002 01:05 AM
