Man I think I am seriously S.O.L when it comes to my car.

Last week I repaired the seat as a fat friend of mine ripped out the badly threaded bolts (dude who sold the parts to me sold me the wrong sized drillbit, it's fixed now though)

So I go to a friend's house last weds and on the way back to dropping him off I go get some gas..

Well this little mexican dude pumps my gas and after he is done I hear a small thump come from the back of the car. I figure it's him closing the fuel door and don't think much more of it.

Then when I get home I noticed that he has spilled gas down my car, now this pisses me off REALLY bad but I figure "wth" and promise myself I will clean it.

So I have been sick ever since with some flu shit and I decide tonight at work (I actually forgot and then remembered again) to go clean this gas off my car.

The little wanker did'nt spill gas on my car, no, he thumped the back of my car with the gas pump and left me a nice dent you can put your finger in along with a bare metal scratch AND some gas stains.

Now I know that the little runt didnt do it by accident so that only leaves jealousy.. I'm SO ferkin annoyed right now.

So I think this wednesday when I go and pick up my friend I'm going to pay the little shit a visit.

Moral of the story?

Don't be lazy, PUMP YOUR OWN GAS.

It's against the law in NJ to pump your own gas.

I used to pump gas and incase of some wild accident (which you could no doubt sue over) the customer is to stay in the car at all times whilst gas is being put into the car.

I think I pumped gas for about 3 days before developing walking phneumonia and nearly dying.

Man that was a harsh winter, REAL harsh..

But yeah, there are large signs stating that you MUST NOT pump your own gas and must wait for service.

Im not shy of doing it, I mean I did it in the UK for about 10 years when I owned my motorbike/s (several) and TBH I hate letting someone else do it as I dont trust anyone even so much as within 5 ft of my car.

The same (similar) thing happened with my Taurus.. I roll it out of paint and 2 days later some butthole lets loose and spills gas all over the new clear, leaving me with some serious buffing to do. And that was HOK pearls.. Man, I would be even more pissed than I am now if some douche dented and scratched that !

Im seriously starting to consider a complete respray of the tib, as weeks go by more and more little dents than I can easily repair myself are appearing, but obs if I repaired them entire panels would then need to be repainted.

Sorry to hear about your car Pandy.

Yeah, all service stations have gas attendants in NJ. It sucks.

Holy shit! First states start this emmisions testing crap, and now you can't even pump your own gas?

Why is it only the northern states pulling this crap? You guys need to start actively voting when this shit comes up.
