Out of control government or a necessary code for Dispensing Fuel into Portable Containers

This is another hotly debated topic among my tight-knit group of fellow safety and fire protection engineers and Lord knows we have plenty of photographic and video evidence that there seems to be a large segment of the population who need help with Dispensing Fuel into Portable Containers.  Hence the government has a code that covers this activity, which many are obviously not aware of or choose not to follow.  My position is that people do not read the dozen of so warning stickers on fuel pumps as it is either “information overload” or just laziness, but a lot of these code requirements are posted at the pump.  How many do you personally break, how many did you not even know were prohibited, and how many can you explain as to why it is prohibited?
