It's funny...I haven't seen too many of those "I Did That" stickers on gas pumps lately.

Modern gas cans.

We let some administrative do gooders ruin a perfectly working product, and we all just go along with it.

Some stores even just go ahead and stock funnels next to the gas cans now.

I can still smell the stench of a highway gas station that would've had that one. Dad would say "Damn, make it quick, boy."

Buy one of these for every gas can you have. Those dumb arse ones that you have to push in before the gas comes out are so damn frustrating. I spill more gas than I put in the tank.

Bruh, I hate to break it to you, but that’s a ball dryer. You’re supposed to hang your scrotum in there after using the restroom.

Try it next time. Somebody has to be the pack leader in the men’s room.

I did see one last month at a seafood place offering all you can eat crab legs or whatever for $75.

Pump dispensers that leave about 10 oz. of product in the bottom of 64 oz. hand cleaner bottles. The old resealable tubs were better.

Toilets with autoflush that don't have a manual option. I have a theory that these autoflush toilets actually lead to more "no flushes" because if you cant get it to activate you just leave.

It's like a game to try not to rip/dissolve it while also applying enough force to get a towel out.

Those are like playing a game of Operation, trying not to touch the sides.

Persoal injury lawyers also helped rid us of those dangerous gas cans.

Back in the 80's when these things could be found in most gas station bathrooms a buddy of mine was driving through central Oklahoma after a night of partying and was hung over and a bit loose in the bowels. Suddenly he feels a rumbling in his gut and knows time is running out. He zooms in to a gas station parking lot and shuffle sprints to the bathroom.

It's a single so he locks the door and sits down just as the dam breaks and the shite fountain erupts from his butthole.

Instantly relief is short lived as he looks over and realizes there's no toilet paper to be found. He's got a bad case of shitass and not wiping is NOT an option. He is wearing flip flops so he can't even sacrifice a sock. He's starting to panic when he sees one of these contraption mounted on the wall above the toilet.

With no other options available he steps up on to the rim of the toilet, then kinda gets one foor up on the tank, and can barely reach the cloth roller with his arse and one hand while he steadies himself with the other. He said he left 2 feet of skid mark on that thing, just rolling the shitty part back up in to the container.

HE said when he left it smelled like death in there, and he felt sorry for the poor guy that would have to service that thing.

Those dispensers with the pull down fabric were an absolute petri dish of bacteria. Gross doesn't even begin to cover it.
