Why are people in Oregon retarded?

Oregon and New Jersey are the only two states that ban self-service gas stations. But thanks to a new law that went into effect on January 1, customers can now pump their own gas in Oregon, though only at stand-alone gas stations in counties with fewer than 40,000 residents. Elsewhere, the ban still holds.

But even this tiny increase in freedom was apparently too much for some Oregonians. In a Facebook post that’s now gone viral, local news station KTVL polled their fans for their thoughts about the new law. Some did not take the news well.

Here are a few premium selections:

“Many people are not capable of knowing how to pump gas and the hazards of not doing it correctly. Besides I don't want to go to work smelling of gas when I get it on my hands or clothes. I agree Very bad idea.”

“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!”

“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”

Of course, every day, tens of millions of Americans in 48 states pump their own gas and—miraculously—manage to avoid setting themselves on fire or drowning in gas. And anyone who doesn’t want to end up like one of Derek Zoolander’s friends can turn to Lifehacker or Wikihow for guidance.

I love how liberal REFUSE to pump there own gas.

"Ew, do I look like a fucking Mexican? I don't do intensive labour."

i hate myself

I love how liberals REFUSE to pump their own gas.

I wish i didnt have to pump my gas and had someone to wash my windshield, its nice especially in canada where the weather sucks but it is largely no longer available most places.

Why can't they handle the banter either?

I haven't seen a place where you don't pump your own gas in years

...

>snowflakes melt under gas fumes
Neat
I fucking hate everything about Oregon.

>this is the opposition

honestly, i didnt see this being the reason civil war starts

When i hear I get to pump my own gas in my city

as an Idahoan this is 100% not a shock to me. Oregonians are the whiniest bunch of people you'll ever meet, next to Californians in the winter

>"I don't even know how to feed myself and I am 62, native Oregonian... I say NO THANKS! I don't want to touch food with my hands!

then make a gas station that does

What kind of people were working as gas pumps? I feel like I wouldn't want them anywhere near me or my vehicle.

...

Cathy Dahl is a very fat woman with short hair who is too lazy to heft herself out of her Subaru and put fucking gas in her heifer-wagon.

I've never had an attendant pump my gas for me. As a spergy autist, I feel like it'd be very uncomfortable to sit in my car while someone else fills my gas tank. Oregon sounds like a nightmare.

wtf are you doing

New Jersey is worse. You can't even buy beer in a gas station. You have to go to a bar and buy it as "take-out"

I had never seen it until 3 months ago, in rural north Carolina. I was trying to figure out how to use the damn pump whe an attendant ran up and told me how the system worked. I go into the store, they pump the gas, and we both sign a little sheet with the total amount pumped when its finished. Blew my fucking mind. The pump didnt even have a card swipe, thats how old school this place was.

For real how have these places never pumped their own gas? Wht the fuck. Its weird when I DON'T pump the gas.

>As a spergy autist, I feel like it'd be very uncomfortable to sit in my car while someone else fills my gas tank.
Visiting the States in 2014, we stopped for gas in NJ and I got out to do my own and was confronted by a brown or black person who said he'd do it for me. I stood there and made awkward small-talk while he did the thing. Never again. If I ever need to fill up again in NJ, I"ll just run the car until it's empty and call AAA.

Wait you can't buy beer at a 7-11 or liquor store?

>A combination of fear-mongering and rent-seeking is one reason why many regulations that seem so obviously silly or pointless persist. A new book by the Institute for Justice details how “bottleneckers” thrive on regulatory bottlenecks, particularly in the field of occupational licensing.

>Take Louisiana, which is the only state in the nation that requires a license to arrange flowers. When the Institute for Justice sued on behalf of several aspiring florists, the Retail Florist on the Louisiana Horticulture Commission (yes, that’s a real position) testified that the law was necessary to protect customers from the menace of exposed picks, broken wire and infected dirt. Incredibly, a federal judge bought that argument, and ruled that the florist license was “rationally related to the government interest of public welfare and safety.”

holy shit are all americans this fucking dumb and entitled. do any of you do physical labor anymore or is it all spics and robots doing it for you chubbychasers

I Live in Oregon and the liberals are annoying as fuck and most are from California. Fuck you California. I swear California is an indoctrination camp for progressives. Kind of ironic considering it wouldn't exist without capitalist opportunists. Also Portland and Eugene are cancer.

Who are these faggots? Seriously.

I believe you can in a liquor store, but I was directed to a bar when I asked where the beer was. I hate NJ.

Too be fair this Mike guy was actually trolling.

I moved from California to Oregon (eat shit) and one of their excuses is that the special elevation and air pressure requires a "professional" gas pumper...

No, its literally jersey shore and Portlandia people that can't pump their own fuel. I'm legitimately angry about this. Two of the worst American stereotypes are bitching about pumping gas.

corrected his there to their like a faggot

None of them made any allusions to Mexicans and the fact that you think pumping gas is manual labor just shows what type of person you are. Also, 90% of rural Americans are conservative.

I only wish they got to pay €2 a litre

Its from the movie zoolander

>I Live in Oregon and the liberals are annoying as fuck and most are from California

Yeah right, stop lying.

How we all feel about these comments on pumping your own gas is how the rest of the world looks at Americans’ arguments when the idea of socialized healthcare gets brought up. People are so terrified of change that they actually become retarded.

I didn't even know that there were gas stations were people pumped gas for you. Are people in Oregon really this retarded or is this some satire?

Kay.... how does that translate to real money and gallons respectively?

>literally
>uses TV shows to identify people

Holy shit are you shook, user?

Funny because mike perrone does look like a mexican

It's true boi. Are you a Califag?

1 litre is 3.78 gallons. So it's about €8 a gallon, or about $10 a gallon.

That’s €6 a gallon so like $7 at least. Also bud you should really know how many liters are in a gallon, we use liters.

Go back where you came from, cunt

I used to love service, now they dont bother with even giving people the option

I worked in New Jersey 4 years ago and was absolutely flabbergasted when some guy ran up and wouldn't let me pump my own gas. I had no idea that existed anywhere, but then again before I started leaving minnesota for work i didnt know people had to pre-pay for gas. Fortunately I was actually staying in port jervis, new york so I gassed up in New York or Pennsylvania and if I had to get gas in New Jersey I just told the attendant to fuck off and just pumped it.

You don't need to prepay for gas, just slide your fucking card and it charges you after the exact amount. That isn't even some new technology so don't pretend being "older" unless you're like 65 would make that untrue.

I'm shocked that in MN they don't force you to prepay with all of the somalis infesting the place.

>dude get rid of jobs to feel manly LOL

Fuck off faggot. What's wrong with having some kid pump my gas for minimum wage? Having you pump your own gas just gets rid of low skill jobs that whites actually do.

What are the pros of pumping your own gas besides feeling like you're somehow manlier for putting a hose in a car?

Are these people fucking retarded?

You have to pre-pay if you want to use cash. Either way you can't just pump and go in and pay.

...

Anything that keeps shitheads like you out of my state is fine with me

I've lived in NJ my whole life and had niggers pump my gas for me, it lets them know I'm better than them.

But I was in CA for 3 weeks last month and had no trouble pumping my own gas. Anyone who cant complete such a simple task without a problem should unironically be gassed, in the zyklon way.

>What are the pros of pumping your own gas besides feeling like you're somehow manlier for putting a hose in a car?
I don't have to wait on some slow ass minimum wage faggot.

...

Getting rid of useless regulations.

Fuck thats awful. Say what youwill about Jewish petroleum wars.... But at least the guzzoline is cheap.

I measure beer in litres. Not petrol

It is make work, if they want to hire people to pump gas no problem, if they don't want to why not let them?

NJ here. Why the fuck would you want to pump your own gas?

Pumping your own gas is nigger tier tasks

>If companies want to get rid of American jobs, why not let them!?

Literally retarded.

Blah blah blah something about creating more jobs blah blah blah

Felons and retards. No exaggeration either.

>can't pump your own gas
>free country

kek

Hahahaha yes. Turns out Oregon has way more transplants than i thought so maybe you're right.

Are you supposed to tip the attendants? Only had one experience with this in New Jersey when I was passing through to New York and did not know the proper protocol and gave him a couple bucks.

why do you think we all drive cuckmobiles? I'd buy one of your Corvettes but I could afford the petrol for it.

I live 4 hours North of Somalia. It's all white up here, other than some timber-niggers on the reservations. I'd seen about a half dozen blacks in my first 20 years before I went south to work in Louisiana. Huge culture shock.

Because they're all a bunch of estronauts and soyboys.

I was passing through Oregon on my scooter a few years ago.
Pulled into a gas station to fill up, and the kid came out to tell me he had to pump my gas.
I gave him the "I'm gonna rip off your head and shit down your neck look" , he handed me the nozzle and went away.

No shit he is right. Portland and Eugene are both filled with California transplants who come up here to "explore nature". When all they do is bring their shitty liberal lifestyles. Everywhere outside of Eugene, Salem and Portland is red as fuck.

youtu.be/B7dO7-RtZwA

Fuck man I'm sorry. Pick up trucks are the shit. Is this one of the reasons so many people come to America? Like god damn I'd bike to work if I had to pay gas prices like that. How the fuck are gas prices that high when you guys are that much closer to the major oil bearing countries?

I'm sure a dude riding a scooter is very intimidating.

Fuck outa my state you fucking commie

anyone else a little freaked out that they've never heard of this before?

I have never even seen a gas station that pumps your gas for you. wtf is going on right now?

Is this really a thing in america? Are americans this fucking lazy fucks who can't get off their asses to do simple and small thing like pumping gas to your car?

>you think pumping gas is manual labor
I was being ironic. And I was being sarcastic about the Mexicans part, I was pointing out their champagne socialist bullshit, i.e. how they vote democrat but can't be bothered to do any dirty work like the mexicans they let in here.

There was a place that did it in a town near where i live in illinois. No one ever went there though because they had to have higher gas prices to cover the pumpers wage lol. $2 at the station next to them and they had it for $3

Since when? I’m a euro immigrant but nobody uses liters here. Just oz.

Images should be swapped. Only gooks read right to left.

...

>i refuse to give up MY slaves

Taxes.

On the other hand isn't it kind of cucked to have a nigger do a simple task you could do in half the time he can?

Taxes and global warming hysteria. I'm not going to leave, it's my home.

He is absolutely correct.

t. Bendfag

>my scooter......

>harley davidson
You probably spend more on motor oil than gas.

Blew my mind the first time we went road tripping to Texas and my dad pumped his own gas. America truly is the land of the free.

i live in a small town in Oklahoma, and i'm over 30, i've never even heard of this. I've seen pictures from my great grandparents that used to be heavy into the oil business, but I haven't even seen this thing in any small towns i've been in working on rigs.

>Why are people in Oregon retarded?

Too much dope and casual sex, no education.

Breaking news: Amerisharts are dumb.

Also there are plastic gloves and paper roll next to the pumps.

No, it's only in two states. It's awful and everyone who finds out about it makes fun of people from those states.

yeah but he's too much of a monkey to even delete the original post

You need plastic gloves a paper towels to pump gas?

Its not really profitable thats why you don't see it. No one wants to pay extra to cover wages for a job that doesn't need to exist.
