Today, I was sent to a customer's house to switch out a washing machine. My boss had assured me that everything I'd need was already in the truck. Halfway there, I ran out of gas and I realized I didn't have the gas card. My boss says it's my fault. 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, when paying for gas, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet back home. After a moment of panic, I managed to remember my card number. I paid, blowing the cute cashier's mind, and drove away, before my car started sputtering and slowed to a crawl. I'd used the wrong fuel. 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, after closing down the gas station I work at, I went to unlock the door to the building. Turned out the lock broke and I was locked inside until my boss could get there to let me out. FML

Today, I was sitting at home when I remembered that I desperately needed gas for my car. On my way there, I prayed that my car would make it the whole way, and was thankful when I pulled up to the pump, because I knew my car wouldn't go any further. Then I realized I left my wallet at my house. FML

Today, I went in my car to a very important job interview. I was out of gas, so I had to get some on the way. When i was done pumping, I went to get back in and the door handle broke off on the driver's side. Then I blew a tire on a piece of metal. Needless to say, I lost my chance. FML

Today, I returned home from a 2-day trip. Before I left, I told my brother to move my car across the street when the street cleaner passes by. Turns out, he used all my gas and got so wasted he forgot to move my car. I got a big ticket that he said he'd pay for. He's unemployed and lives off me. FML

Today, I was expected by my supervisor to drive out to one of our office's server locations. My car was dead and I couldn't go unless he gave me a ride, as he's the only coworker local to me; he couldn't because he's on vacation. I sent him a video of my car failing to crank. He responded, "You need to be more mobile." FML

Today, because of the gas crisis in my state, we had to stop taking delivers at the pizza place I work at. Someone asked if we could walk it to them. My manager agreed. FML

YDI for not taking personal responsibility to make sure YOU had everything you needed including gas...who doesn't check the gas gauge...

It was your fault, it is your responsibility to make sure YOU had YOUR gas card with you. And it IS common since to check the gas gauge before going past a gas station. Sorry you need to put on your grown up pants and own this one. Live and learn.

Your boss was mean, but it never hurts to double check EVERYTHING. I guess you know that now

It kind of is your fault though. Although your boss assured you, you should've taken the initiative to check yourself for just-in-case purposes.

You kinda deserve it though. You should've taken the initiative to check for yourself.

Most of you commenters sound like morons. OP wasn't complaint about the low fuel, so you can all stop saying OP deserved it for not checking the fuel. OP is complaining because the boss said everything was in the truck and the gas card, probably supplied by the company, was not included. This should have been fairly obvious to all of you, as you appear very high and mighty.

You do know what a gas card is right? It's a credit card. Do you leave your credit cards lying around? More than likely, they have fewer gas cards than they do trucks, seeing as access to company accounts is always highly regulated. Also, how many drivers do you think they have? Yea again, more than gas cards. A gas card is the kind of thing kept in a central, safe location until someone needs it and then checks it out for use. It is absolutely the drivers responsibility to go get the card if he needs it and not assume it was lying around just in case he drives like an idiot that day.
