Transportation: Today, my car ran out of gas. I was 20 feet away from the gas...

Today, my car ran out of gas. I was 20 feet away from the gas pump and the only person I could ask for help was the attendant, who'd asked me out a week ago. I'd said no, and so did he. FML

Today, I stopped by the gas station. As I was filling up I noticed a cute guy at the pump next to me. When I was done, I gave him a wink before opening my car door. It was locked. I had to call my Dad to bring my spare keys. The guy was laughing the whole time as I waited for my Dad to show up. FML

Today, a 65 year old toothless gas station attendant asked me out on a date in exchange for free gas, and I said yes. This is what my unemployment has come to. 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 on a date. We met in the parking lot of a restaurant. As I approached his car he took one look at me, said "Nope", and drove off. FML

Today, I went out with two friends for lunch. The van we took ran out of fuel, so we pushed it to a nearby gas station, a gas station suffering from a gas shortage. FML

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

False alarm

By sillyrabbit - 24/02/2009 04:29 - United States

Today, after I had filled up my car and got into it I saw a cute guy running towards me. I flashed a smile and left the door open and said, "Hey" when he was next to me. He said, "The pump is still attached to your car, you really should be more careful." FML

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

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, 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

What's all this BS about karma? She's allowed to date whomever she wants.

Karma? If I was a girl, I don't think that I'd want to date a gas station attendant either.

ok I can understand the karma and all that good stuff, but op has a right to say no, she doesn't want to go on a date with this guy. I'm sure she wasn't attracted to him and that's fine. he needs to learn he doesn't have to be a dick just because he was turned down. talk about holding a grudge. now aren't you glad you didn't go out with him op givin his attitude sux ass? I would rather push my vehicle 100 ft. than to date an ass like that.

It is just as easy to fill the tank at half full as it is to do it when it is empty. It ends up costing the same either way. However, I agree that she has the right to say no if she wants, not Karma. I think it's a YDI because this was 100% preventable by the OP.

That really depends on gas prices and location [keep in mind that gas prices have been pretty stable lately]. When gas prices are going up I fill up as often as possible, it saves me money because I was going to use the gas anyway and I get gas at inbetween prices instead of every 2 weeks at the highest premium. However, when gas prices are going down I try to wait until the very end of my tank, because in the 2 weeks time I can see a pretty decent price dip [like we did 3 years ago at the end of the summer when it went back down from $4.50 [in jersey] back to $1.99 in a span of a month. Now I'd never let my tank get to the point where I Had to push it or ask somebody to bring me a small gas tank, but, you have no idea of the situation, really.
