Gas Pump Lock

How lazy are we as Americans? Or, is this just another way to multitask? In New York, it was against the law to put something in the pump to hold down the lever to pump gas hands free. In North Carolina, they have a mechanism in the pump to lock it in place. I didn't know this until a month or two ago because I was so used to not being allowed to do it. I love it because now I can clean my windows while pumping gas. I always hate standing there waiting for the gas to pump because I don't have patience. Now I don't have to worry about it.
