17. I hate the whole procedure
|
It's not just having to stop to get gas, it's going through the whole pulling up to the pump, paying, pumping the gas, etc. There's always some dingus that doesn't pull up to the farthest pump so the next person in line has to go around them and back up to the free pump that the dingus was too fucking lazy to pull up to.
I REALLY hate it when the pump has the lock broken off so you have to stand there squeezing the trigger for every drop of gas that goes into the tank while you freeze or get rained on and become aphixiated from the disgusting fumes. I also hate it that they can't seem to invent a pump that doesn't drip gas all over your pants and your feet when you go to hang the damn thing back up again. I DESPISE having to pump my own gas in foul weather. When it's 20 below and the wind is ripping the last thing I want to do is stand outside my toasty warm car stuck with a pump trigger with a broken lock so I have to stand there getting frostbite squeezing every drop into the tank wondering if the skin of my hand has welded to the trigger and I might be stuck there till spring pumping everyone's gas day and night till my hand thaws off the trigger. There should be a service that you pay monthly for that will go to your house and put gas in your car for you while you sit in your house comfortably watching tv or having a nap or taking a shower or whatever else one does leasurely at home. |
