But when I'm in Spain - where the nice attendant in the florescent orange jump suit-y uniform pumps my gas, yes, then it's good form to tip - usually a Euro or two. I have to say, they are very polite and kind, those Spanish gas station guys.<BR/><BR/>Danni - as for me - I'm all for multi-tasking. I'm usually texting or emailing while my tank is getting filled up, tho! And yeah, seriously - if they took away our precious gas pumping people - I would hope they would have sense to keep them the time of year when it's wet, rainy, cold, blustery - and otherwise anything other than warm, sunny, and perfect. Which would be, um, August?<BR/><BR/>LOL!<BR/><BR/>You crack me up, girl!dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063368472020602012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-73207287188569842392008-11-01T07:57:00.000-07:002008-11-01T07:57:00.000-07:00Every time we go to Oregon, we stop for gas and Hu...Every time we go to Oregon, we stop for gas and Hubby jumps out to pump gas only to be met by the attendent.

She told me it was too early to be snorting and stuff and to quiet down. I love those photos but the cooking one was hilarious. Oh and can you imagine what the attendant would think while you were shaving your legs? You started my day off right.<BR/><BR/>Oh and I too love that I don't have to pump my own gas. You know years ago we had a gas card at a self serve farm co-op and I used to spill gas on my work clothes all the time. I a a big clutz and you can't get that smell off of your hands at work no matter how much of that cheap soap you use. One time I even over filled my tank and it splashed out all over my shoes.

I'm the one that parks my car in the WAY back of the parking lot...I tell my 80 year old mom..."either get out now or your walkin"!!! The first thing I tell the kids as soon as they walk..."play near the car and your grounded for life"!!!<BR/>On the way home from Maine, I stopped at a gas station, started pumping my gas and an elderly attendant came over to finish up for me....I almost had a coronary!!<BR/>I can answer your question about them not pumping for motorcycles...If a Harley guy comes up, and they value their, and their families life....better not touch the bike!!! Ha Ha Ha!!!<BR/><BR/>Well Danni this was a very funny post...one of the best...all I could think of was the planning...you put into it hahahahaha! I'm still laughing!!!<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure the reason they came up with that silly law is because right after that feller in the first picture was done pumping his gas...with that cigarette in his mouth...the next shot was a smoking pile of rubble!!!! <BR/>Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554593974838511759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-53773225105040694212008-10-29T21:01:00.000-07:002008-10-29T21:01:00.000-07:00You totally crack me up!

What I want to know is, who's hand is that holding the fingernail polish brush while both of your hands are busy (one being painted, the other holding the camera)??<BR/><BR/>I recently heard about Oregon's gas station attendants and the law against self serve stations when my partner Jack went on a road trip this past September to visit relatives up near Salem. He jumped out of his car to pump the gas and got bowled over by a prompt and courteous attendant who was explaining the law to him as the took over the pumping. Surprised Jack a bit, but he got used to it quickly.Farmer Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333209660043535465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-13320958055585529562008-10-29T20:49:00.000-07:002008-10-29T20:49:00.000-07:00You're too funny!

I started reading this yesterday, then marked it as new, because you know, the boss's computer and all...<BR/><BR/>And I came back today, and started out all melancholy: My father used to pump gas. Little gas station that you had to run over the bell cord to get the guy to come out.<BR/><BR/>Then I scrolled down. As I've already confessed that I talk like a truck driver, and not a sailor (or is it the other way around?), I kid you not, I just said "get the f*** outta here!"...and collapsed into giggles.<BR/><BR/>Great post.
