What's with the plastic glove thing?
I mean, it's an object that's touched by thousands of people a day and might drip gasoline.
Not many people use it from what I've seen, but it's nice to have as an option.
I wonder if some use gloves for door handles for similar reason
Surely those people do exist 🤷🏼
Gasoline is disgusting
But it smells so good
Yes! Most people give a raised eyebrow when i tell them that i like the smell of gasoline
What sort of troglodytes are pumping gas where you live that they spill it on the handle?? I've literally never seen that on bezine pumps. Diesel pumps for trucks or light fuel oil pumps sometimes but never regular benzine pumps
Yes, they are meant for the diesel pump on the other side of the ail, but many folks prefer to use them for gasoline as well. I can't blame them
The last guy to hold that handle held something else in his hand beforehand. Hint: It's his dick.
So technically our dicks were touching by proxy?
Yes, your's, his, the entire village. Everybody having a finger gang bang on that gas nozzle.
The glove is a hand condom.
Covid and stuff maybe?
You should defenitively use it, when you fill up diesel fuel. I have no idea why exactly, though.
I don't think we have those
