Topeka Decriminalizes Domestic Violence

Garbon knew enough to pass by where I live at 80 mph, that shows driving sense.

[DGuller]

I don't think with the amount of driving that I've done - that I could fairly be said to not know how to pump gas.

Fairly?  No.  Since when was being fair a requirement here, though?

Apparently, next time, I should just join to the circle to laugh at your inability to pump gas. My momentary kindness was a sign of weakness.

This staggering lack of basic, First World aptitude on the part of DG and garbon has cheered me up immensely.

Me?

You couldn't figure out how to open a gas cap.  (And I didn't want to single out Gull.)

Also, fahdiz might not be around, but fuck that guy and his filthy full-service state.  Might as well employ people to dig holes in the ground and another group to fill them back up again.

You're a marxist, don't you love programs like that?

I don't know.  What part of that sentence led you to believe I love programs like that?

I was being generous. The Nissan didn't have an internal mechanism to let the door open and while the door was supposedly touch sensitive - it was stuck. I spent a good 10 minutes pounding on the thing to finally get it to randomly spring open.

Ah.  If I understand what you mean, that sounds like a really bad design decision.

On my car, it has a trigger on the driver's door that you have to jam with an object unless you want to make pumping gas a two-person job.  That's also poor design, although less so.

I've had AAA put my baby tire on before. If I'm paying for a service, why would I want to get dirty (and more importantly in my opinion) run the risk of getting hit by a passerby on the side of the road?

So you don't have to sit in your car looking like a tool for 45 minutes?

On the other hand, you're already out of the closet so the incentive structure was different for you than it is for Guller.

I'm glad I could be of service.

Precisely. Teach me to rent an economy car.

Harsh toke, man.

It's only happened to me twice. Once, when I was at home in SF (went down to car and one tire was completely flat). I called them up and waited till they showed up - which was like 10-15 minutes (for some reason they were always quick in that city). Other time was driving into Chicago and during traffic someone pointed out my tire was flat. Was too late in the day to get someone to take a look, so I pulled off at a gas station - pumped it full of air, so I could get to my destination and then had AAA take it to a shop the next day.

That said if it was on a highway, I'd probably still call them up as I'd prefer to look like a pussy to unknown passerbys and internet folk than end up injured by someone crashing into me.  I put it in the same vein as I could change my own oil, but why would I?

Small fixes

[DGuller]

I think it's a lunacy to change your tire by the side of the highway, unless you have a cop car with flashing lights behind you guarding you or something.  It's actually a pretty common way you get killed on a highway.

[Razgovory]

It is to anyone who has had sex with a woman.  You stick it in and pump.

No you don't.  You ask yourself which side the gas cap is on and drive that side up to the pump.  Then you select a payment method.  Then you select a grade.  Then you open the gas cap.  Then you stick it in and squeeze the trigger.  Then you wait for the shutoff to click or the screen to hit the amount you want to pay.  Then you replace the nozzle on the holster.

Yeah, like a woman.

[ulmont]

  Good to know, thanks.  So, in any other state, is the trigger automatically sticking, or does it have some thingy to stick it?

No, there's always something you have to do. At some gas stations, there is a latch that you have to move, at others there is a little groove that you need align part of the trigger with, and then I remember seeing one other type once but I can't remember what it was.

There's also the type with no way to lock the pump on other than to put your gas cap to hold the trigger.
