other terrible experiences related to oregon’s no self-serve gas laws:
- i pulled into this gas station to have a mental breakdown because i forgot someone would immediately come tap on my window and ask what i wanted
- i got out of the car to clean my windshield and the gas attendant was like “NO I WILL” and then was super put-upon and huffy about it
- i now have too much social anxiety to try to clean my windshield or ask to have it cleaned
- so if we go too long without rain i have to take a cup of suds and paper towels into my apartment’s parking lot and create massive soap streaks on the windshield while scrubbing off the grime
- i have accidentally made it impossible to see so many times
- oh no i have to pull out my cheerful anecdotes about living on the east coast because the attendant asked where the zip codes start with 0 but i have a POUNDING HEADACHE and AM NOT SOCIAL CURRENTLY
- oh god we had to evacuate our apartment unexpectedly and now we’re almost out of gas and the AQI is 500 and i’m FORCING SOMEONE TO COME OUTSIDE
- WHY DO THEY STILL HAVE TO PUMP GAS FOR ME WHEN THE AQI IS 500
- oh no i had the only gansey moment of my life by tipping a guy but apparently being weird about it and my wife chewed me out and it will haunt me forever
- oh no the gas attendant didn’t screw the fuel cap all the way back in and i drove with it like that for Over Two Hours before my vehicle system alerted me
anyway there are in fact occasionally times where i’m like. i am so perturbed by the thought of having someone else handle my gas or wash my car that i’m driving to washington instead
