Went to Vegas, SIL wanted to eat at the Cosmo buffet instead of Ceasars...FML.

Drove from Vegas to Yosemite, 120 closed at Crane Flat, took an awesome detour that extended the trip about 3 hours.

Lastly, on the way home stopped at the gas station, and the clip that holds the pump lever was broken...had to hold the pump for all 17 gallons.

No clips here in MA either and it's illegal to pump hands free. I use to wedge my wallet in there to hold the lever until I got scolded by one of the attendants.

just tell them to STFU or you won't support their salary being raised to 10 bucks

this works too

"do me a favor.... call your boss or the owner and ask them if they care if I fill up here anymore. when you are done with that leave a message on the pump for me. I'll read it next time while I am pumping hands free. While you are at it make me a sammich."

These clips are illegal in NY and I have to hold the pump for every gallon I put in my car. Man up!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny enough, when I fill up my boat, there is a clip and 9 times out of 10 it will overflow a bit into the water...brilliant.

What law are you referring to. If gas station A has clips and down the road a couple miles, gas station B has no clip, or it's broken, what law is being broken?

I'm thinking a can, unless unopened would be crushed and rendered ineffective. A beer bottle on the other hand would work just fine.

If Papa Murphy's made clips...they would be the best.
