True Story At The Gas Station...
Have you ever spilled... no wait, SPRAYED gas all over you, your car and the ground at a gas station? No? Okay, well I have so here are some facts:
If your having a REALLY good day, don't go and get gas because chances are you will:
1. Spray gas all over yourself (the story is next)
2. Crash your car into someone or something at the gas station
3. Get trapped in and not be able to move because of those damn soccer moms
4. Okay, the list goes on but here is the story...
So imagine being REALLY "happy-go-lucky" on a nice warm day, heading to get some gas and singing songs in the car while listing for the "click" noise that indicates your tank is full. Well, apparently I was singing TOO loud because instead of just looking at the screen to tell me how many gallons I had left to go, I thought I heard the "click" and jumped out of the car and literally RIPPED the gas pump out of my car. At that point, everything else was in slow motion.
Gas started EJACULATING EVERYWHERE! On ME, the CAR, the GROUND, probably people driving by... it was CRAZY!
I desperatly tried to pull the tab up so that the gas would stop and by the time that happened, I as well as everything around me was SOAKED! Lovely.
Here is where the TRUTH comes in.
A. You will NOT immediatly burst into flames after being covered in gas and starting a car. It does not happen.
B. You will not have an Indian man chase after you in the parking lot yelling and screaming that you'll have to clean up the fuel spillage.
C. You will not be locked up, fined, tracked down by the government, or anyone else for that matter, because of a fuel spill (and a speed away).
Good to know, but NOT good to experiece. Better yet, just hire someone to pump your gas. WHY CAN'T WE ALL LIVE IN JERSEY???????????
