Oregon gas station attendants... Being a native Oregonian and driving a Vanagon I find no end of amusement in the Vanagon locking gas cap. I've had these folks fumble around for several minutes muttering obscenities under their breath trying to put the thing back on :-) There are also the few dumbfounded as to where the "gas hole" is on my van... These people I guide carefully, making slow deliberate movements so as not to startle them (don't want to evoke their fight or flight, they have a nasty bite and the shot series to fight the infection from their periodontal disease is brutal) We have pump jockeys here for entertainment! It's a government-mandated service to me the consumer ;-)
