Don't sweat the small stuff...

Stopped to get gas somewhere in backwoods Pennsylvania. Temperature was in the teens and the wind was blowing so I put the nozzle in the tank, set the trigger latch, and hopped in the car to get out of the weather. Look back a few minutes later to see a gasoline fountain spraying the car, pump, and ground. Trigger was fucked up and the latch kept the gas flowing. Little concerned on start up after that event.

Yup. my little sister pulled the same move when we were kids, but the nozzle fell out and sprayed her in the eyes!! She was fine after a dousing in the sink, but it was pretty scary.

been gun shy about those latches ever since. always keep my hand on the nozzle.

I'd gladly hold down the lever for as long as it takes, if the goddam full trip sensor didn't insist that my tank was full after pumping 1.02 gallons.

Someone put salt on my margarita and I said no salt. No salt on my margarita.

Ah. Classic Milton.
