well, let's just say this has been an eventful morning...
So. anyone out there ever explode gasoline all over themselves while trying to fill their tank??
*raises hand* oh right... that probably doesn't happen to most people, but it definitely just happened to me.
and i really wish i was exaggerating when i say EXPLODED. as in, practically my whole tank of gas shot out at me, covered me in gasoline, annnd got all over the car and ground. basically if you lit a match i'd have been in trouble. big trouble.
let me start out by explaining... (please do not think i am high maintenance, or spoiled, or anything because of what i am about to say. i promise you i am not.) i don't fill up my own gas tank much. i just really don't like filling up my tank, and my dad loves me and always offers to do it for me. what can i say? i'm lucky.
but today... we were going to the city, and my dad asked me to fill it up. so i agreed, i mean what could really go wrong?! obviously a lot. i felt like such an idiot. i just started laughing hysterically because i didn't know what else to do...that's when things got more awkward i had this little conversation...
*random guy walks over to me* let's call him... fred? okay. fred.
fred: *laughs awkwardly* this has not been my day...
me: you're telling me! i just exploded gas all over the place!!
fred: oh yikes. so is that why you were laughing? i thought you were laughing at me..
(what?!)
me: oh... no, i wasn't..
fred: because you see i started to fill up my car with diesel gas.
me: oh, oops!
fred: yeah. obviously we're both having bad mornings!
me: looks like it..
haha im not sure, it was strange. poor guy. why would i laugh at him?! sad day.
well. after all of this we finally go to chicago, and to my friend's apartment....the first thing she said to me was, "Do you smell gasoline??"
i simply replied with, "ah yes, it's my new perfume! so you don't like it?!"
:)
i finished off the morning with a stop at SuperDawg! I have heard sooo much about this place from everyone and finally went! it was great! delicious and so much fun. :) i definitely want to go back.
well off to do a thousand + one things! happy friday!!

that happened to me and my husband the other day---the gas tank didnt shut off on it own, and it just kept overflowing. Now, it wasn't as fun as your story, but...i understand ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet birthday wish!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not my Godmother did the same thing back when I was in high school. Apparently, she didn't do it that often either. She was just spraying it everywhere. I was mortified b/c you know those high school years are already traumatizing let along your Godmother embarrassing you!
