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 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, I pulled into the gas station to fill up only to realize I had forgot my wallet. By the time I went home, got it, and came back, the price had gone up eleven cents. FML

Today, I stopped at the gas station to fill up my tank and get some snacks. I paid the cashier, then got back into my car, totally forgetting to pump the $50 worth of fuel I'd just prepaid for. Too bad I didn't realize until my car came to a sputtering stop about a mile down the road. FML

Today, I was standing in the gas station, pulling out my wallet to pay the $100 of gas I just filled my car with. I opened my wallet and found a note saying "borrowed money for food". FML

Today, I left my wallet on top of my car when I filled up with gas. I drove away and didn't realize it until I got home. I went back and found it on the side of the road. Empty of my credit cards, pictures and checks. All that was left was my driver's license. FML

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, in an effort to conserve gas by using as much of the gas in my tank before refilling it, I ran out just before I could get to the gas station. Nobody can come bring me any. FML

Today, I went to the gas station, paid the clerk, and drove off without pumping any gas. FML

Today, I took the bus home after visiting a friend. Standing in front of my house, I realized that I had forgotten my keys. They were still in my car, which I had parked at my friend's place and forgotten. FML

I keep my license in my wallet as a default ID, and if you go by the same logic, you drove without a license :/ Still sorry to hear, though.

always keep your car at a half tank.

there isn't anything wrong with praying. and before you start leaving your entire wallet and more than like $20 in your car, remember the poster whose car got stole and when they found it, it smelled like sex and to top it off the thieves took a shoe from each of the 6 pairs that were weirdly in there. . . . i also agree w #29, you don't need a license to start your car. and once it's started its really easy to just leave. OP: how DID you get home/solve all this?

The Good Lord giveth, and the Good Lord owneth you hard. Tell the attendant you're stuck and take the 30-40 minutes to walk home and back.

i used to work at a gas station and this actually happened more often that you'd think. we just copy their drivers' license, vehicle info, and phone number, then let them drive home with a full tank after filling up and come back to pay for it. if you didn't know that though and came to that situation it would be pretty frustrating!!

Without his wallet (where most people keep their license) would you still do that though??

Oh damn, that does suck. YDI for not making sure you had your wallet and for letting your car get that low on gas. Hopefully the gas station employees were nice about it and you had someone that could help you out. Also, this if why I try to keep some money hidden away somewhere in the car.

Haha I've totally done this before. Thankfully the girls at the gas-station were nice and gave me like a 20 minute deadline to go get my money, but i had to give them the license plate number on my car in case I didn't come back!
