Today, my wife and I were driving to the gas station, she let me out before she pulled up to the pumps because I had to buy some things from the store. I returned to see my wife proudly filling the tank. Smiling, she told me that diesel was cheaper than regular gas. We don't own a diesel car. 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 went to the gas station, paid the clerk, and drove off without pumping any gas. FML

Today, trying to do something nice for my brother, I filled up his truck's gas tank. I didn't realize until too late that it's a diesel. FML

Today, my wife put petrol in my diesel car and ruined the engine, I got a bit upset, but I wasn’t screaming or yelling or anything, but she flew completely off the handle at me at how I was putting all the blame on her and it wasn’t fair. I ended up apologising to her for her mistake. FML

Today, I spent £107 filling wife's car up with fuel. When I get home she says "don't forget we have to fill my car up at Tesco at the weekend". "I've already done it at Asda earlier" I say. "You stupid dumb idiot" she says, "I wanted it filled up at Tesco so I could get Clubcard points". 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 let my brother borrow my car, as he had a job interview. I told him the tank was nearly empty and gave him $20 to put some petrol in it. Ten minutes later, he calls me, saying the car won't start. He filled it up with diesel. It's a petrol car. 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 the gas station with my grandma. After I slid her card and began to pump, I convinced her that it was a lot easier and more convenient to pay at the pump with your credit card instead of paying inside. She yelled as I realized I went $20 over what she had to spend. FML

Before you get mad…

Today, my wife came home and said, "Before you go into the garage, let me tell you what happened…" She was stopped at a traffic light and when it turned green, she stepped on the gas, but the truck in front of her didn't. The grill was smashed and the car has a 3-inch hole in the bumper. FML

Here in America, we have much larger nozzles for diesel gas, so that people like your wife cannot put diesel in their cars. The nozzle will not fit into the tank. Only cars with diesel engines have holes large enough to stick the diesel nozzle in.

Oh dear God. :( Strangely diesel is more expensive here in the UK.

#106 is a total bullshit ! Diesel and gasoline engines use different technologies. A gasoline engine needs a spark plug to ignite, while diesel's self ignition is caused by the temperature raise due to gas compression.

I call BS on this one. Unless the guy is married to a teenager who has never bought petrol for a car before, I don't believe it. I have an Aunt who is far and away the dumbest bag of rocks I know - verging on a need to be in care - and even she would know better. Next time, try using your teenaged son or daughter as the foil in your little story and it will be funnier because it will be more believable.

Too bad you can't fit a diesel pump into a car that takes regular gasoline. I bet she spilled a shit-ton of it on the ground too.

My last is "being moderated" so I will write again: I call the author out on this one as a whopper and not a good one, either. Next time he should make his foil a teenaged son or daughter to make it believable... as written, it is not. I can understand a young kid not knowing the difference, but a woman who has presumably been driving for a few years? Also, if she is THAT dumb, she probably had been filling with deisel for some time - or even buying whatever was cheapest at any given time and the car would have been ruined long ago. Don't believe it, don't believe it, don't believe it. AT ALL.
