I posted the one thing I am proud of lately about New Jersey, so in the interest of fairness, I feel I should mention some of the things I find embarrassing. 1) The fact the state believes it's residents are too klutzy to pump their own gas. This results in over-enthusiastic pump jockeys reaching for the gas tank before you turn off the engine. They touch the gas cap and your service engine light comes on. Or, they don't tighten the cap and your service light comes on. And, not to be ethnic about it, but you can't ask them to wait or tell them to tighten the cap because they don't speak English. It would be a lot quicker and easier if we could just pump our own gas. 2) New Jersey doesn't have a work exemption for DWI license revocation. That is unconstitutional. It penalizes the co-workers of idiots who drive drunk. Three times in my career, I have felt penalized by the judicial system because I worked with someone who couldn't drive. That is so stupid. There is no logical reason for not allowing them to drive to work like every other state, or at least a lot of states.
I'm not done yet, more NJ embarrassments in a future blog.
