Transportation: Today, I was syphoning some gas from my truck to my friend's...

Today, I was syphoning some gas from my truck to my friend's car just enough to get to the gas station. I told my friend to let me know when the gas was coming; he said, "Alright." Suddenly, I got a mouth full of gas because he was on his phone taking a video of me. He got the whole thing. FML

Today, I was at the gas station pumping gas when the lady in front of me had a little boy who asked if he could pump the gas. She said yes and then quickly answered her phone, as it was ringing. She wasn't watching him and he pulled out the pump to early, spraying gas all over me, including my face. FML

Today, while getting gas, a hottie pulled-up to the pump next to me. I finished filling my tank and started to drive away. As I was checking her out and paying no attention to my driving, I ended up taking the front bumper off her car with my truck. 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, 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, while on a road trip with my friends, we stopped at a gas station to fill up. While I was pumping gas, a gust of wind blew my hat off and it landed in a puddle of gasoline. When I picked it up, my hands were covered in gasoline, so I smelled like a gas station for the rest of the trip. FML

Today, I was so engrossed in a phone call that I drove off without pumping gas after I'd prepaid $50. FML

Broke ass dad

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

Another fine mess

By MikeMoosey - 30/12/2008 18:00 - United States

Today, while pumping gas, I stopped to think about what a failure my life is, and how badly I've treated people in my past. While deep in thought, I accidentally pulled the gas pump out too far and covered myself with gasoline. FML

Today, I was out with my youngest cousin and we had to stop for gas. Since he just got his license, I asked if he wanted to pump the gas while I went into the station to get snacks and pay. He pumped my car full of diesel. FML

Today, while working at my desk alone and with my headphones in, I suddenly let loose a loud stream of gas. As I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, I saw, in the reflection of my laptop, that my roommate had been sitting silently on the couch right behind me. FML

You should've taken the opportunity to spit the gasoline onto his face, MacGyver up a lighter and show him who's laughing then! Probably nobody. Because he'll be in a lot of pain. And you'll be going to prison. You psychopath.

Ugh, I feel your pain, OP. There's nothing worse than your friend not warning you when it's coming and then giving you a mouthful of something nasty.

I'd kill him. If you ingested any of that, you could've been poisoned, and serious damage to your throat. Next time, tell him he can walk to the gas station and if he doesn't, he can go **** himself.

If it was his car that needed the gas, he should've done the dirty work, not you.

I hope your response upon spitting out the gas was "**** you asshole, have fun walking" before driving off FYL

Please follow up and tell us that you calmly spit it out, crushed his phone and drove away.

And I take it, once his broken nose was taken care of, he walked to a gas station and bought a can of gas?

That is not a friend with a problem, it's an asshole who tricked you into doing something that could damage your health. You should stay away from him. Don't let yourself get treated this way.
