    I had no idea that was a "thing" until I tried pumping my own gas in Portland, back in 2014. Attendant came running out, "You can't do that!"

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Up until just a few years ago, you could not pump your own gas in Taiwan. I always thought it was kind of goofy.

        Presumably it’s illegal in New Jersey as they’re worried that people would drink it

        I was only joking

            I was surprised when I stopped at a Jersey station years ago and had the attendant bitch me out when I went to pump…

              Surprisingly gas is pretty cheap in NJ too. They don’t tax it all that much

                Lower gas delivery costs I think is why they feel they can get away with it.

                Kinda makes sense, though. New Jersey is on the way for a shit-ton of people every day. Give travelers an incentive to stop and they'll invariably spend more money.

                  They should put that on their license plates:

                  New Jersey: It's on the way

                      Whenever someone says they’re from New Jersey, I always ask “What exit?”

                      Sometimes they reflexively answer before getting slightly offended.
