Technically in NewJersey at least, it's Illegal to pump your own gas.
WTF that's ridiculous.
There are still 2 states like that - New Jersey and Oregon.
I was working in New Jersey a few years ago and I was flabbergasted when an attendant stopped me at the pump.
Probably not since the mid-1970s had anybody pumped gas for me.

“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48
