Gas pumping? Oh NOES!

America is laughing at Oregon for having to pump its own gas

Apparently it's been a full-service state forever. As of 01 JAN 2018, some areas are now allowed to have self-service stations.

Actual quote from an Oregonian:

"I've lived in this state all my life and I REFUSE to pump my own gas. I had to do it once in California while visiting my brother and almost died doing it. This a service only qualified people should perform. I will literally park at the pump and wait until someone pumps my gas. I can't even"

"Almost died"?! "Qualified people"? What exactly is the minimum qualification? A functional hand?
