After work, I went to put gas in my poor sally who was on emergency empty.
The whole time i’m on the phone and I think, “Sweet, there’s no line.” I pull up fully absorbed in my conversation when I walk up to the gas pump to pay with my soul (gas is getting really EXPENSIVE yo!) and i notice the above note.
After reading it, i had a moment. I stepped back and looked around wondering, “OMG am i going to explode or something?” Why do we always think EXPLOSION when there is gas and the word emergency involved. i was kind of freaked out for a second then i realized, “Crap, I have no gas, how am i going to get home? Will i make it to the next gas station about 5 blocks away?”
I walked into the gas station and told the manager i had an emergency too, i was almost completely out of gas. “Can you just turn on thatta pump right over there, yeah the mustang?” AKA the only car in the gas station lot. . .”uh porfavor?”
“Sorry ma’am, no I can’t.”
You can’t or you WONT?!
He just fired back a mean look so i smiled and said, “Okay thanks! you rock!” *thumbs up*
I got in my car, put the A/C full blast. . i mean if i was going to run out of gas I didn’t want to be all hot and sweaty too! PSH! Forget that!
Long story even longer but not as long as you wish it wasn’t. . .I made it to the next gas station. YAY!
