Same in Maine - locks allowed. Still, the best is NJ. Full Service everywhere. Loved it when I lived there.

This cracks me up and reminds me of VT. I've seen on more than one occasion a mother/daughter combo with NJ plates stuck at a gas station yelling at each other because neither of them knew how to pump gas.

Or use a map. Or drive a stick.

I can't stand having to wait for someone to come do something I'm perfectly capable of doing my self. The other day, I'm waiting over 10 minutes for the guy to come "service me" while he flirts with the pretty lady in the A4 at the last gas station on Rt 22 before I get on the GSP. He says to me "sorry, I thought the other guy got you". What other guy? There was only one attendant working.

I use the gas cap method to keep the pump going sometimes... it backfired on me once though. I was cleaning my windshield and I heard what sounded like water pouring on the ground. So I went back to the side of the truck where pump was and found gas spraying out from around the connection between the pump and the filler tube. There was what seemed like at least a gallon on the ground by that point.

I've had that happen to me, except it was a FULL SERVICE station. They told me I owed them 36 dollars and change, but I only gave them 33 because I told them I'm not paying for the gas on the ground, and had to deal with my car reeking of gas for the next few days

But now I live in Colorado. I can run into the gas station or clean my windshield while it pumps, buy a gun with no waiting period (I waited not even 10 minutes while they ran a background check), shoot that same gun in my backyard without my neighbors freaking out and calling the cops, drive my ATV on the road (technically you can legally as long as it isn't paved, even if is meant for car traffic). Fireworks are still illegal, but nobody cares unless there is a fireban, and Wyoming is only 2 hours away if I want to buy some. Gambling is legal through casino's. I don't have to put down the safety bar (most of the old lifts don't even have one). Doesn't apply to me because I don't smoke, but weed is practically legal, meaning cops don't hassle you if you have what would appear as "personal use", and actually the state is voting on "amendment 64" in November which, if approved, would make possessing an ounce or less legal for anyone 21 and over, no license or doctor's prescription required. LOL, I could turn this thread into like 3 threads.
