I carry gloves in my car (super thin disposable from costco) and wear them to handle gasoline dispensers. Not because of germs, but because gas is pretty toxic.

Never thought there were idiots wiping the dripping nozzle on the controls, so feel even better about the practice.

Why don’t you use your tongue?


I just use your mom's tongue.

Except for the New Jersey part.

I almost want to go get gas to see if I can activate the touchscreen button using the pump instead of my finger, but I gassed up the other day and probably have like 7/8 of a tank full.


Where do you live that there’s a touchscreen?


Detroit suburbs. Shell stations, both of them updated in the past few years.

LOL, babe, you’re not an Indy car pit crew. Your .0007 second of time saved is not worth how ridiculous you are in general.

Yes, this is why I always travel to New Jersey to get gas.

Here we goooooooooo!

Normal people use their hands. It's a button. I usually have the gas spigot thing IN the TANK when I start pressing all the buttons.

Also, prediction, we'll get to Page 3 of this thread and someone will helpfully tell us about the arrow that indicates which side of your car the tank is. Like we were all born yesterday.


To be sure, I was well into my 40s before I learned that LOL


Me too!!!
