Re: do you know how to pump your own gas?

My ex spoiled me and used to pump it for me. He'd even come over to get my car and put gas in it if we weren't hanging out or he had something else to do. I was so spoiled. When we broke up, I was kind of stuck so I was forced to learn. My daddy wouldn't do it for me.Chat Icon But now, DH does it usually unless he's not around and I need to do it myself.

My MIL can't pump her own gas. She claims that once in the 70's she tried an dgas got everywhere and she hasn't tried since.

I pump my own gas.

Re: do you know how to pump your own gas?

yes of course and i can understand choosing not to pump your own gas but to not know how i really don't get, and what if its late and all the full service is closed and you desperately need gas what would you do? if you own or even drive a car you should know how to pump gas its just one of those basic necessesities of life

Re: do you know how to pump your own gas?

Yes. I grew up in a town that does not allow self serve but I had to learn pretty fast if I wanted to go out of the area!!!!

Well, I imagine if you learned to drive in NJ, you wouldn't know &unless you spent a lot of time driving in other places. I only know in theory--I've never done it, but I don't really drive.

Re: do you know how to pump your own gas?

I too grew up where youc an't pump your own gas.. but once I learned to drive, I demanded to learn.

Now..when I'm in hton its just pure laziness that I get gas because I dont feel like getting out of my car sometimes. Otherwise, I have no problem doing it!

my bff doesn't know how to pump gas but then again its ok bc she only gets gas in huntington.
