Pump You Up
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010
In NJ we have the unique distinction (among other things) of being the only state where you can’t pump your own gas. That means, when it’s 100 degrees out (like it’s been here recently) or it’s pouring or there’s a foot of snow on the ground, I don’t have to get out of my car in my nice heels and nice, clean clothes to grab a greasy, dirty pump and possibly drip gas on my feet. So, of course, every couple of years, some idiot starts a campaign to change the law and let us pump gas.
Let us? You mean force us. I don’t want that prerogative nor do most sane people.
Which brings me to the point of this post: how often do we let (or expect) other people to do things for us that we could (or should) do ourselves? (more…)
