Hell, what's the purpose of this insane law, anyway? Got any

It's for safety purposes. The general public does not have the
required skills and training to pump gasoline, ergo you need a
professional for the job to keep accidents from happening.
(/sarcasm_off)

I've seen some idiots before who would talk on the phone or smoke a
cigarette while pumping gas, but IMHO I find a state law telling me
that I'm not competent to pump gas very insulting.

Safety my ass. It is a make work law.

BTW... Cell Phones really don't cause fires at gas stations.
