Betty White was amazing on SNL. Best SNL in a long time. Loved seeing some of the classic cast members
Betty was the only redeeming thing on the program.  Some of the skits before she appeared were painfully unfunny.

He's been signing on to the forums, as he was last active today... Maybe he's just choosing not to post?

You know what I hate about New Jersey? The law where all gas stations  have to be full serve. Not only do they not know how to pump your gas,  but it puts the state into more debt than it already has. Plus, I'm  sitting at the gas station for 3 times as long because the pumpers are  sitting on their lazy butts instead of paying attention to the pumps  and if they're finished filling or not. And when I ask them to FILL the  tank, they only fill it about 3/4. :rolleyes:

IMO,  if Christie wants to save money, he should lay off the inexperienced  gas station pumpers, not the teachers that help our students become  successful in life.

WTF fucked up gas station are YOU going to? Sometimes if the station knows you around my area, they "let you" pump your gas, of course, without getting caught. Usually if you tell them to fill the tank, the gas pump usually stops when it's full, not 3/4 full.

Usually Sunoco. Yes it does stop on its own, but you should manually tap it off a little after that until you reach an even dollar amount, which they don't usually do. Otherwise my gauge only reads the tank somewhere between 3/4 and a full tank, which pisses me off sometimes. I try to go to a gas station in PA while I'm at my dad's so I don't have to deal with this hassle.

In a lot of places, PA included, topping off is illegal. Not to mention bad for the environment, and a waste of money. Most stations are equipped with vapor lines, and after your tank is full (when the pump clicks), fuel then just gets pumped back into the vapor line, not into your tank.

I actually don't mind having full serve stations here. In Canada and PA the majority of stations there are self- serve. Plus we usually have no issues here getting gas, maybe you just went to the wrong gas station?

Only two in the entire metro area here that are full serve. I never top off. When the gas pump clicks, I take it out. The last time I tried to top off, there was a small amount of extra gas sitting around the pipe that leads into the engine.

You pump your parents' cars? Do your parents make you do everything? :blink: :P

Only my mom's car, lol. My dad doesn't seem to be comfortable with me doing it. Technically, it is illegal for me to pump gas. Every pump, alongside the warning about driving off without paying, says that you have to be of "license age" to pump gas. Technically I am since most sophomores can now drive, but I don't have my license either.
