How old are you?

That was definitely true decades ago in the days of straight sided rims. I don't think so today. Bicycle tire and rim interfaces have gotten better and the convenience store air compressors have gotten wussier. If you are blowing your tires off the rim while using an air compressor, maybe you should probably re-think your tire seating practices because you are pinching your inner tube under the tire bead.
