Transportation: Friends

Friends

Today, my dad agreed to let me borrow the car to go rock climbing with my friends. He'd just filled it up with gas, which is how I realized halfway back home that one of my "friends" had siphoned well over half the gas straight out of the tank. FML

Today, I heard water splashing outside of my house; I investigated it, only to find my dad, whom I don't live with, syphoning gas out of my car. FML

Today, I let my brother borrow my car, as he had a job interview. I told him the tank was nearly empty and gave him $20 to put some petrol in it. Ten minutes later, he calls me, saying the car won't start. He filled it up with diesel. It's a petrol car. FML

Today, I went to drive my mom's car for a change. It wouldn't start, so I open the hood. Someone had stolen the battery. I go to start my own car so I can drive to the police station to report the theft, and discover someone siphoned off my gas. FML

Today, after replacing several components on my new used car, I realized that the reason it wasn't getting the gas mileage it was supposed to because my coworkers take turns siphoning my gas while I work. FML

Today, I had to drive down to my parents' house. On they way down, I needed to fill up on gas but unfortunately I'd forgotten my wallet at home with all of my cash and credit cards. I then had to call triple A and explain to them in all seriousness how I ran out of gas at the gas station. FML

Today, I was trying to do a nice thing and let my friend's mom borrow my car. I went to move my mom's car that was parked behind me so that I could get my car out, and then proceeded to back into my dad's new company car. FML

Today, my neighbor's son siphoned the fuel out of my lawn mower and put it in his car. What he didn't realize is that the fuel mixture I use in my lawn mower would ruin his car engine. His dad says it's my fault and actually insists I should pay his pissant son's repair bill. FML

Today, I was at my grandfather's house and my car was low on gas. He said I could put some of his gas in my car. He accidentally gave me the wrong tank to pump it out of, and I put fuel in my car that he uses for his small plane. It never ran better until the engine exploded. FML

Today, I illicitly borrowed my dad's car to go to the store, but crashed into my mom's car as she and dad were returning from my grandma's house. Both cars are totalled, my mom is in hospital with a broken collarbone, and I realised dads really can make steam come out their ears if they’re really mad. FML

Today, I borrowed my dad's car to run a quick errand, which he never lets me do. I thought I’d got away with it until he got home and started yelling. I forgot, dad always reverses into driveways, while I prefer to drive straight in, and I'd parked his car facing the wrong way. FML

I hope you made him walk if he was in the car with you.

Is it possible that OP drove far enough to explain the missing fuel?

In Hawaii I'm paying over $4.50. Don't complain about gas prices unless you pay that or more (like in other countries). On Kauai it was well over $5 when I was visiting

so you went rock climbing. which I am assuming is a fair distance out of town unless you live in the Rockies, the alps, or other such areas of the world. and you think your friend siphoned gas out of your tank because you used a lot of gas?. either you are very stupid or you dont know how gas works. (which makes you very stupid)

To #77, HOW would they be in the car with op if they siphoned the gas?? How would that even make sense?

Lockable fuel tanks, anyone? Or did these go out of fashion when they put the opening lever next to the driver?

Run the car until it runs out of gas, then proceed in punching your friend in the nuts... Or just punch em in the nuts....

Whoever did that doesn't like or respect you. Bottomline whoever had a vehicle is suspect. In the future I would avoid doing things with that group of "friends."

a common misconception, its all about technique see what you gotta do is drive as fast as you can at the steepest cliff, then when your as close as possible to the wall you have to take off your seat belt and put your teeth against the steering wheel and the rest will be a piece of cake
