Pumping a woman's gas

post #1 of 63
Thread Starter 
I was blatantly unaware of this as a breach of etiquette until recently, so I'm curious how many others here do this on a regular basis.

Situation: You are a passenger in your female friends car, and she pulls over to get gas. Who gets out and pumps the gas?

She does, its her car, let her stink like fuel. Unless I am paying, and its not a serviced gas station, I wont get out of the car.

Once I was a passenger i my gfs car. She got out to fill it. A friend was outraged. 'Threathening' to get out and do it himself.

I didn't get the fuss, but I've been turned....

Just a friend? It's her car, and she can pump her own gas.

If it's my wife and me I usually pump the gas. If we're paying with cash, or if we need something from inside, she usually takes care of that.

Also, thanks for the new euphemism!

I think only Ed can give us the correct answer about pumping a woman's gas.

I had no idea it was anyone's responsibility but the driver to top up on fuel, unless of course your circumstance prevents it ie disabled driver, owner is passenger, you agreed to shout fuel etc.

the only two women i would pump gas for is my wife or my mom. other than that, if is some old lady who was giving me a ride and needed to fuel i would as well.

Uhhhh... there are bigger problems if you can't avoid spilling gas on yourself.

But yeah, usually whoever is driving pumps unless the car is full and everyone is getting out.

The Thread title giveth and the explanation taketh away.
I was hoping for some euphemism, too.

Clearly if getting laid is your goal, and she shows feminine sensibilities, then do it.

I keep reading the title as "pumping a woman's ass".

don't know about pumping her gas, but definitely check her oil. "No smudge on my dipstick, need to go deeper!"

I was expecting it. In fact I am a little disappointed that this threak is — apparently — serious.
