Today, I picked up my car from the repair shop, drove two miles, and ran out of gas. I then walked to get gas, put a gallon of gas in the car, and tried to start it. The battery was too weak to start the car, and died on the spot. FML

Dumdum moment

Today, after my car died a mile from my house, I huffed, puffed and pushed it back to my house off the street, so I wouldn't get a ticket overnight. After getting it towed to the shop in the morning, I got a call telling me they put gas in it for me and it starts up fine now. FML

Today, I pulled into a parking lot, for the car to simply shut off because I ran out of gas. Then I couldn't get the key out of the ignition, so I called my dad, who walked all the way to where I was, only to find out that the car was still in drive. FML

Today, my friend's van ran out of gas on an expressway off-ramp. After pushing it to the shoulder, we walked to a gas station and got a can of gas. We got back to the van to find that the battery had died from leaving on the lights and hazards to avoid an accident. FML

Today, I went to Auto Zone because my car was having trouble starting, and I thought it was the battery. The guy checked it with their reader, and confirmed it was dying. Right after he put the battery in, my starter died. I had to get my car towed to the shop. FML

Today, I got into my car and it wouldn't start. I noticed I had left the lights on and assumed the battery was dead. Then, I couldn't get my key out of the ignition. So, I called AAA only to have the guy put my car in park and start the engine. 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, I walked ten miles to pick up my car from the towing station. Turns out there was enough change for the parking meter in the glovebox after all. FML

Perhaps an investment in jumper cables would be more ideal.

Well, up here in the north it IS actually scorching. It was 112 during the midday, which makes me think that you people in the south are just saying the average night temperature.

what's a bet OP's bank account is not looking so good , hope that car is worth it and that it all works out soon for you.

How do people manage to run out of gas? Even if the fuel gauge doesn't work you can still guess using the tripometer.

Sure you can guess.. and its very easy to guess wrong since mileage varies to an extent.

Omg that would suck. I have been in Texas during the summer and I didn't want to walk outside much less two miles. This is a legit FML

You'd think that a repair shop would fix those for you ahead of time.

No. "Yo, mechanic. My brakes don't work correctly." "Alright, here's new brakes. Oh and btw, I decided to do a thorough analysis of your car. You're low on gas and also, your battery's about to die. And while you're at it, you should probably change your fuel filter and reset your ECM." Life doesn't really work that way.
