You have to be fricking kidding me...., how stupid are ppl Options

"Recently i went to Newark airport, there was a Hess gas station going northboung before arriving at the gas station. I got gas there and they made a gigantic mistake....

The nozzle didnt stop pumping after my tank was full. so the gas came out everywhere, the floor, on the car, on the tire, my shoes.... so I am wondering what damage could have it done to the car, like pumped too much gas into the tank, damage to the paint job, or make the tire deterioate faster....

Also there was no way to know how much gas exactly spilled.... I had about 1/2 tank and drove 182 miles since last fill up... i am estimating i had at least 6-7 gallons left... and that would be like 5 gallons spilling out.

so i am wondering what kinds things i can do to have them compensate for it financially, or if there was damage resulting from the spill. Can i get them to pay to fix it... for example if the paint start to fall apart..

should I notify my insurance company?would they increase the premium if they had to deal with it?

so I need any advice i can get... thanks guys" -from VVTI.net

Seriously, I can care less that he/she was in New Jersey and they are not suppose to pump the gas themselves. If your that stupid you shouldnt even have a license.

Just like the dumb person that sued McDonalds because she spilled her hot coffee on herself.

its not a law, you can pump your own gas. And dont tip them.

Yeah it is law, you live there you should know. It was enacted in 1949.

And Oregon is the ONLY other state which has the same law.
