    Where I live in Canada maybe 1 out of 10 stations will pump for you. If you can't pump your own gas you should just take public transit.

    Also "smell like gasoline all day"? Do Oregonian's not realize the gas goes IN the gas tank, not on your clothes?

    I’m fully capable of pumping my own but I’d much rather have somebody else do it for me.

    Honestly, I would to. When I started driving (many moons ago) there were no self-service stations. I liked it.

    Some people just can't hold their hose properly

    Some people just have a nozzle and no hose

    Not that I know or anything

    I've pumped my own since my adolescent years (my mom would have us do it once in a while when we were younger). There was one gas station that had an attendant where I used to live, and I tried to go there in the winter months when I could, but it was usually too out of the way. One time as a young teen, I was visiting family with my mom in the philly area, and she took a wrong turn and got us lost. She stopped to get gas and got yelled at for trying to pump it. She didn't realize she had driven into New Jersey, and that's when I learned that there are people in this world that can drive but not pump gas. That concept boggled me.

    I couldn't trust someone else to shake that hose and make sure to get those last drops of compressed dinosaur in the tank.

    Maybe you just haven't experienced the right attendants.

    Since it's legal here I can admit, yes.

    I don't mind pumping. I also kind of like the way it smells.

    I live in NJ where they pump it for us just like in Oregon -- and the gas is cheaper in our state than the neighboring states.... figure that one out!

    Yeah but they just raised gas prices - it's not that much cheaper there than in my part of PA. Sucks. Plus your property taxes are, in general, to the moon compared to mine..lol

    Also, that's what the gloves they provide are for, so your hands don't smell like it.

    Wait, they provide gloves??

    Where is this? Does every customer get a fresh pair? Do they recycle them?

    England. Yes you throw them away in a bin (also provided) afterwards. Some places have better quality gloves than others. Usually just polythene throw away ones.

    Seems like a huge waste to me!

    As someone who's never owned a car but managed to pump gas for his girlfriend without blowing up her car on the first attempt let me say: any able-bodied people who are complaining about this are absolutely bonkers.
