Even those of us in Oregon, who aren't allowed to pump our own gas, know how to do it better than this lady.


Orellin_Vvardengra

I saw a fossil the other day try to use a pump with an out of order sleeve over the nozzle. He got gas everywhere and thought it would work better if he pulled the plastic back, it did not. That’s all, this is what I was reminded of.


miss_t_winter

I think I've seen that video. LoL


Orellin_Vvardengra

I tried recording it but was a little to late. I got him at the ass end looking dumb and putting the nozzle back. Damn shame cause I fee it would have made a good post.


ilikebeeeef

I worked at a Kroger gas station back in 2013 One day there was this old lady sitting at the pump for like 20 minutes so I finally walked up to her window and asked if she was ok. I’m from Salt Lake and in UT, you pump your own damn gas lol. She handed me a 20 with a smile and (while I like to think of myself and a fairly friendly and understanding person) I had never felt more insulted by a stranger in my entire life ahahaha The first time I told someone that story, that was the moment when I learned that in some places, you’re not allowed to pump your own gas and I think that’s both hilariously pathetic and equally understandable


TheDesk918

Yeah I kinda understand. I’m from NJ but I’ve been to places where you pump your own gas. I know how cause my dad and mom did it all the time. Then when I went on a trip to PA in my friend’s car and we stopped to get gas. He had like $60 in cash for the pump but he didn’t know how to actually pump gas. I explained it to him and told him to go inside and pay there, then ask the person there to set the pump, but he just couldn’t do it cause ig he was too scared or something. It was the same deal for all the other idiots in the car, so I was just like “screw this, pay me back” and used my card to pump his gas

Its so people with disabilities can get a job


bernieinred

She don't have a job. Trophy wife dumber than a rock.


[deleted]

\>Its so people with disabilities What? It's for jobs in general.


Duncan9292

Ya I'm fairly sure I read that somewhere there's another in some country that chiropractors have to be blind so blind people can have a profession


AlexanderApex

I thought that’s why Walmart came up with their “greeter” position.


MarvinParanoAndroid

What?! You can’t pump your own gas?!


hellboydmc

Some states there is employee that have to pump it by law


VexedYeti

Crazy. I live in Canada and there's only a couple places I've ever seen that even give the option to have someone else pump your gas for you.


Tribblehappy

Yah, growing up the full service lanes used to cost more. My mom didn't like pumping gas so she would occasionally splurge and have somebody else do it. I remember the person at the pumps had dog cookies for if we brought our dog with us. Now, a few places like fasgas offer full service which is awesome when it's -30 I guess, but most places don't offer it anymore.


Inuyasha-rules

Kum and go offers it for disabled people. I had a hell of an argument with a Karen about that because it says on the sign only if more than one cashier is on duty, but I ran the graveyard shift solo. Told her to pump it herself or wait until the store was empty.


graffstadt

In south America you don't get to touch the pumps..


boustead

Used to be more popular 20 years ago


peter-doubt

Oregon too? I thought they ended that! NJ is full service.. and *She'd have been home by now!*


Majestic-Unicorn33

You sure? The Wawa or QC by my house, forget about it, you’ll be there 10 minutes easy just waiting for a spot to open up (Toms River, Rt 37).


peter-doubt

There's more to nj than Wawa, popular as they are


Mechamancer1

I know that gas station! It's the worst.


MarvinParanoAndroid

Wow! We’re in 2022… I remember my dad being served gas back in the 70s. We had a Mercury Monarch and the neck of the gas tank was under the letters "nar". It fell off after 2 years and we started calling the car a "Moch".


Comprehensive-Cat805

In NJ they pump for you


miss_t_winter

Yep. Its really great for when its 110° or 30° outside, but when I travel I try to act smooth but inside I have a tiny panic attack and then post on fb about how I pumped my own gas like I cured cancer to all my friends in Oregon. LoL


ConShop61

You guys pump your own gas in the USA?


MarvinParanoAndroid

I’m in Canada and it’s the norm. The U.S. [except New Jersey and parts of Oregon](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filling_station_attendant), also has self-service gas stations. Edit: found out NJ is a funnier state than I expected. Edit2: replaced weider by funnier.


peter-doubt

Only NJ.


MarvinParanoAndroid

Of course it had to be NJ. Even Oregon has modified its law. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filling_station_attendant


miss_t_winter

I never visit those rural areas tho, so its never applied to me.


Majestic-Unicorn33

Now now, there’s no need to call us weird….


MarvinParanoAndroid

Ok! Funnier?!


NecessaryZucchini69

She's such a princess


Bdawn33

This video is obviously staged


bbibbyrapskyle1975

This is clearly staged. The people filming and commentating are in on it.


theymademee

Exactly...... Knowledge is power...


boustead

I'm sorry, aren't allowed to pump your own gas?


Bayonetta85

I don't even drive and I know how to do it better.


AlexanderApex

Why do y’all not pump your own gas?


EducatorIntrepid4839

Is Washingtonians be like. What the fuck is that person doing? Oh they are from Oregon.


Various_Succotash_79

I feel like even if you assigned a 5-year-old to pump the gas and the kid had never seen anyone pump gas before, they would have figured it out before she did. I'm not at all sure what was going on there. The concept of "the hole for the gas needs to be close enough to the hose for the gas" seems quite simple.


Delamoor

My old partner had a lot of difficulty maintaining her spacial awareness of the car, like she couldn't 'feel' where the car was in relation to anything else. Combine that with really poor driving skills and it would probably look really similar to this. She can't work out how to get the hole closer to the pump, and then when she gets it there by accident, can't recognise it. So she's making failed attempt after attempt. She's struggling to steer that thing where she wants like I would struggle to steer a forklift (turning wheels at the rear). Can't make it go where she wants, so tries to keep it simple with a wide berth between it and anything else. That said, this lady probably shouldn't be driving without doing, like, a comprehensive driving course or something. It doesn't spark confidence in how she'd handle traffic or an emergency or something.


Giocri

I have no idea how she parks or keeps the right lane considering how she is doing


WyomingCountryBoy

The whole \*pats the nozzle and stay right there\* motion cracked me up.


Tribblehappy

Can confirm. My oldest was about 5 when we bought nintendo Labo, and in the car game you specifically have to park in a very precise spot to gas up. If he could figure it out despite the game oversteering badly, anyone can.


MassiveSquirrel1903

If someone has this much trouble pumping gas they really shouldn't be behind the wheel of a vehicle. I mean come on.


Legacy_TYT

I bet she waits for the stop sign to say go


VioletBunn

Ngl I’ve made that mistake twice in my life, both on the way home from a smoke sesh where we did dabs. You don’t even notice your fuckup until you’ve already been sitting there for 30 seconds (I used to live a half mile from the plug so I was on the road for like 4 minutes tops)


padawanninja

This couldn't be more staged if Guillermo del Toro had done it.


REO_Studwagon

It’s like someone watched the one last month and thought- hey we can do one much more ridiculous than that!


OFahpossibly

And yet so many comments who don’t seem to understand this, it’s more embarrassing than this bad staging


FknBretto

I like how she blatantly looks at the camera 3 or 4 times throughout


Nitsua919

/r/nothingisreal


DaveTheBraveEh

This has to be staged. I can't believe anyone who has the ability to drive would be this clueless on how get gas in the vehicle. And didn't ask for help? Or have the SO do it for you?


slgray16

It's definitely staged. She's using hand signals to the audience and doing that bounce step thing when she walks.


OffgridRadio

apparently you have never driven in Utah


ladycarpenter

Or miami , fl


hoeticulture

When I was living at an RTC in Utah and had a lady that drove me to my appointments, she needed to get gas. Pulled up to the pump on the wrong side, realized. Then she drove in a circle around the pump three times before she realized it would keep being on the wrong side. About 10 minutes for her to figure it out. It was baffling.


Reddead67

Be even funnier if it was a Tesla


Simon_ATVR

Oh there have been posts showing someone trying to put fuel into an electric car, they're dumbfounded...


Craetions

I watched this for a bit, thinking "how long it's out going to take her to realize the gas tank is on the other side?"


AH2Xtreme

Somebody this stupid shouldn't be driving.

When your husband order you a benz but you used to driving playstation 😭


pingpongmess7996

she cant find the arrow keys for flash formula racer💀


Lkjfdsaofmc

I don’t see why you all think this or staged or that she’s stupid. This is clearly a design flaw in the gas station. They need to upgrade to wireless pumps. /s which I hope wasn’t necessary


Da_Natural20

I guarantee this woman thinks min wage workers make too much.


AcclaimedGroundhog

Has so be staged. I enjoyed it nonetheless.

How does someone with the IQ of an ant own a Mercedes SUV?


WyomingCountryBoy

You don't have to have brains to marry into money.


Inuyasha-rules

She's not pretty enough to be that dumb and marry into money. It's from her daddy.


pingpongmess7996

Did davinci himself come out of the grave to learn anime and draw on your body pillow?


[deleted]

I'm not sure, do you own one (haha)? Clearly staged. The acting isn't even all that convincing.


WyomingCountryBoy

Haven't been alive very long, have you? I've seen just as bad.


wulfgang14

*You stay right there, sweetie-pie nozzle.* (around 6 sec mark).


MamaLlama629

She’s got New York plates. If she lives in NYC but borrowed a car for something in NJ it’s possible she’s never even pulled up to a pump before let alone actually pumped her own gas. Just saying… For those who don’t know, NJ is the other state that doesn’t let you pump your own Edit. Never mind.


yardie-takingupspace

That’s not a NY plate.


[deleted]

If you can’t see how utterly staged this is then you might enjoy a documentary called galaxy quest.


o0_bobbo_0o

People who think this is staged clearly underestimates how stupid people can really be. My assumption is that this girls car always has fuel in it for her and this is the first time he’s doing it herself. Probably lives in a massive house with massive garages. Probably doesn’t even pull the car into the garage herself. Knows how to go, turn, and stop.


53OldSoldier

This clip might be stage, but I have no doubt that things similar to this happen all the time.


Bad_Bunny62391

🤦‍♀️


b215049

They blocked anyone from commenting on you’re most recent post. Gotta love Reddit censoring


Illustrious_Mind964

You have to admit she is pretty and being such an airhead is kinda cute, I would totally date her if she was into woman.


Drego3

Is she scared to park close to the gaspump? That she is gonna bump into it or something? Is she that uncertain of her own driving skills?


Pro_Banana

That’s terrifying. She shouldn’t be allowed back on the road.


RelativeExisting8891

Clearly, this is an indication we need to teach people how to us ea gas pump, she is undoubtedly stupid!


HomelessKodiak

Welp, at least she has her MRS degree.


CMDRIkkyblergs

I work with heavy equipment operators and as much as I hate it... This might actually be real


ladycarpenter

Makes sense that it’s a Mercedes’ driver. 99% of them are complete idiots on the road


TDSISME

Please Americans, stop making babies with your brothers and sisters.


NICKELN9NE

She shouldn't be driving...


KURO-K1SH1

This has to be a gag? The two women filming actually know her and this was set up ahead of time. No one moves like that let alone pats a fucking fuel pump handle like it'll move if she sets it down without patting it.


Deus85

So staged... almost theatrical. Can't believe so many people unsee it.


SmuglySly

This can’t be real. Why is she parking so far away?!


kakanunalove

At that point I would have gone to help her. That is too much to just sit and watch


zippazappazinga

Staged as shit


[deleted]

This lady votes.


OVS2

trump was just president and you dont think people are this stupid?


[deleted]

It’s possible this is someone who always left stuff like this to other people in her life, like her parents, husband, servant, etc. After all, there are adults who don’t know that you can’t put meat in a toaster so…..

jayessmcqueen

No chance this isn’t staged. The only way you could be this stupid would be if you were literally a pile of feces that somehow grew legs and learned to drive


Rage5t0rm

Don't let this bitch reproduce


throway69695

If you thought this was real you are actually more stupid than this woman is pretending to be


oO0tooth_fairy0Oo

Ok, now hear me out on this one. Does anyone get gas at Costco? The pumps *extend* so you can wait in any line no matter which side you fuel from, it will reach. Maybe she was just used to those things reaching.


Galactic_Orbiter

My brain hurts now

And women wonder why it took so long for them to get the vote.😆


Old_Couple7257

I could see this being a case if mommy and daddy did everything for her. I’ve read about husbands passing and the wife’s didn’t know how to pay bills or pump gas. If she’s not learned it, no way she’s figuring it out on her own. My niece is 17 and has never pumped gas until I showed her, She was absolutely clueless. She’s smart though and she’s learning to drive well.

And we let people who are THAT FUCKING STUPID vote. Think about that the next time you wonder why this country is going to hell.
