Why Do People Spit At Gas Pumps?

[kadas]

A LOT of St. Louis is the HOOD

You ever wonder how many nasty things that are probably much worse than spit and boogers your shoes come into contact with daily? I'd like to imagine a lot! There are much bigger things to complain about than this lol

I dunno this is the gas pump. Can't imagine what a fiasco going to a public restroom is for you.

Most restrooms are not as filthy as the area around the gas pumps. Besides, 99.99999% of the time I don't use public restrooms.

Y-all can trod through the snot an spit piles all you want but I'll pass on that. I can only imagine what the floor mats in y-all's vehicles look or smell like.

Just making an observation. An I know for a fact what I come in contact with is nowhere near as bad as whats on the ground around gas pumps.

Sounds like there are a lot of goober hocking going on

I do have manner

Well I really don't want anybody's snot/spit/boogers/diesel or any thing else on my shoes and in my vehicle and eventually in my home. Remember that what's on the bottom of your shoes is in your vehicle, home, office, and on your toddlers/babies hands (you know, when the child crawls over and touches your shoes )

Can I keep everything off my shoes? Hell no but I can keep all the above mentioned crap off of them by using the least used pumps at the station. Those are the ones the lazy people wont use because they are too far for them to walk in to pay their $3 dollars for gas and $40 for scratch offs and $25 for Newports. Plus those people always pull into the first and easiest pump to get to.

Rider, do you use wet wipes after each fish catch too? Glad you weren't raised where I was, sheeesh!!

I sure do but I don't launch them so others can wade through them.

No, but fish are cleaner than the gas pumps

Here in Jersey we can't pump own gas , after reading this kinda glad we cant.

Not only is it against the law in NJ to pump Ethyl, you can't spit on the sidewalk.

or farting, this morning this bigger than avg female was pumping gas on the other side of the pump was playing the tuba I thought..

She may have been cruising for an eproctophile

Geez... But if u got spit and gasoline on your shoes, that makes it a risky move.

[SoonerFan]

In over 50 years of driving, I never knew that loogies were a gas pump hazard. I've always hated pumping gas were there was a diesel pump next to it. Those are always nasty with diesel on the ground to have to walk in.

[Walkabout7781]

When I gassed the truck at the "Kum & Go" near Stockton, MO, I used a paper towel to grab the gas nozzle. There seemed to be a lot of people that like to Kum and Go. I know I didn't waste any time leaving.

Sounds like he needs a box of shoe covers like doctors wear before he steps out.

I type We get the OP and make Him dance barefoot through the islands of pumps. The place mentioned in post #77 might be what We're looking for??

[bnewman046]

I only go to the bodily fluid free pumps at my gas station. Must be a Mississippi thing. Not that I'm really looking but I don't see the things you are describing.

No, it's not just a Mississippi thing. Same thing in my area, and they also block traffic flow by parking in front of checkout. Can't be walking too far to buy your smokes scratcher tickets!
