Costco thinks you are retarded

[Drako]

Costco is just doing a CYA. Our society has far too many lawyers.

Can't believe the OP has never seen those signs before. There's a smaller decal version that is found on most of the pumps west of the Mississippi.

I've lived west of the Mississip for 31 years and I've never seen that before.

I'm not talking about a zombie apocalypse, I'm talking about a number of places west of the Mississippi. More and more, you're sounding like a metro waste of space and believe me, women will recognize your lack of skillz. This is the minimum level you need to reach before leaving home. You have failed. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Sad but, I always suspected there were people like this.

Another 'yout' who left the nest before learning to fly.

Never seen anything like this on any of the gas stations I've used. Only ret@rds would insert the nozzle upside down. Where is this Costco located exactly besides mentioning "west of Mississippi".

My very own groupie! I'm so proud.

That's a good point. While I was waiting 10 minutes for the old person in front of me to learn how to pump gas (for the millionth time), I watched an old woman pull up with the pump on the right side but the gas cap on the left side of the car. She tried doing exactly what you describe, but it wasn't long enough.

Hell, I do it all the fucking time...fill from the opposite side that is...but I know how to hold the nozzle...NOT upside down. (although, unless you're stupid, even that works just fine...it's the over-flow shut-off that doesn't work right when it's upside down.)

When the Costco gas station is busy, I'm not going to wait for a pump on the "correct side" when I can easily reach the other side.

 

[Miramonti]

Costco doesn't think people are retarded, they've been in business long enough to know people are retarded. You'd be surprised how many people smoke while getting their gas too.

I went to an Arco station a while ago and saw a sign that said "Please do not drive away with nossle."

Leads me to believe some people ahve actually done that.

What's a "nossle?"

 

[RockinZ28]

That is the only way I can pump gas in my company truck, same as all the other trucks with the side tool bins. Try to pump it regularly, it will shut off every 10 seconds.

a lot of stations have breakaway hoses because of retards who do that.

 

[mugs]

I live in one of "those states" and there has been a few times when the pump kept shutting off as the attendant was walking away. Every time this has happened the attendant has turned the nozzle upside down and the pump filled my tank (and no more) without interruption.

No, Costco doesn't think you're retarded. I'm pretty sure Costco thinks JEDIYoda is retarded (or is it JEDI who posts all of the stupid Costco threads?)

Pic Clipped

I saw that once myself. There was a van driving towards me on the opposite side of the road, and I was having trouble processing what I was seeing. It was just a bit after dawn, and the shape of the van didn't look right. When it got closer, I saw the hose sticking out of the side. People are dumbasses.

 

[andylawcc]

Some people like to hold the nozzle like they hold their gun

beat me to it.

it pains me to watch it in its entirety.

 

[OutHouse]

Ive seen people pump gas like that

 

[OutHouse]

I was praying really hard that dumbass would pump diesel in that car.

 

[Nik]

Irrelevant.

Oregon is on the west side. New Jersey is on the east side.

Both states legally forbid non-gas-station-employees from pumping gas. Unless you work at that specific station, it is literally illegal to pump your own gas.

You won't find any of these signs in Oregon or NJ and that covers both sides of the Miss.

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

I just got my costco membership a couple weeks ago, so this is the first time I bought gas there. This is a real sign. No bullshit, no photoshop.

Obviously aimed at the same crowd that shoots their Glocks sideways.

 

[LookBehindYou]

If there is a sign for it like that, it means there was at least one dumbass out there who tried it, probably a lot more than one.

 

[Macamus Prime]

This is not surprising.

But, how will the wood folk know what this means? They clearly can see the pictures, but the words would cause all sorts of confusion!

 

[BabaBooey]

The sad truth is there are morons that need this,I have seen them,it cannot be unseen....

 

[alkemyst]

It's due to the nozzles reaching both sides of the cars.

When you use the side opposite the pump people tend to end up with the nozzle upside down and later gas all over the place.

I think it's retarded though you didn't realize this.

 

[ShawnD1]

It's due to the nozzles reaching both sides of the cars.

No they don't reach both sides. I saw a woman try and she failed. You are a retard and will die alone.
