It was so behind the times that the gas pumps had actual FLIP NUMBERS instead of digital numbers! I have not seen anything like this since 1982! And there was no credit card slot...I took that to mean that the gas was free? How the heck else was you s'posed ta pay? Honestly, I have never been so confused in my life!

Didn't they have a fillin' station Attendant? You know, the Goober who pumps the gas, checks the oil & water, and washes your windshield FOR YOU? Betcha you could have driven away w/o paying...heck, THEY probably had a hand crank/ operator or DIAL phone!

Boy, I bet you're glad you didn't go looking for a telephone. It probably would have had this big round thing with holes in, and the numbers in the holes. How does THAT work. Especially since your cell phone said No Signal. See, there used to be this stuff called paper money, and these little metal discs called coins, and everybody used to use them for everything !
It's probably best for your safety and sanity that you don't venture out of the city any more. There is a lot of weird and wonderful stuff out there, but it can be pretty scary if you're not prepared !

Were you driving in 1982?
were you even alive in 1982?
No credit card slot?? awww, poor baby. I bet you were forced to walk ALL THE WAY INSIDE and pay in person. Such a rough life you have. I pity you. To be confused by a simple mechanical device, such a shame.
I hope you have no plans on breeding.
