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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, as usual, I work nights and sleep during the day. I found out that my brother uses my car and never puts gas in it when he called me for the first time to actually ask me if he could borrow my car, and also to lend him $20 to put gas in it. 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, I took my partner’s car to fill with gas because mine was in the shop. Out of habit, I put diesel into the tank. We discovered it three hours later; the tow bill ate my weekly budget, the mechanic sighed through the repair estimate, and I spent the evening on hold with roadside help. FML
Today, I was at my grandfather's house and my car was low on gas. He said I could put some of his gas in my car. He accidentally gave me the wrong tank to pump it out of, and I put fuel in my car that he uses for his small plane. It never ran better until the engine exploded. FML
Today, my dad agreed to let me borrow the car to go rock climbing with my friends. He'd just filled it up with gas, which is how I realized halfway back home that one of my "friends" had siphoned well over half the gas straight out of the tank. 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 start my truck that I had parked in my driveway after a long haul. The fuel gauge indicated I had a full tank. I didn't fill up. My neighbours' son decided to fill the tank with water with a hose, 150 litres worth on top of diesel. His dad's response? "Kids eh, what ya gonna do?" FML
Today, I returned home from a 2-day trip. Before I left, I told my brother to move my car across the street when the street cleaner passes by. Turns out, he used all my gas and got so wasted he forgot to move my car. I got a big ticket that he said he'd pay for. He's unemployed and lives off me. FML
Today, my brother "borrowed" my car and keys without asking me. He came back 4 hours later, alone and pale faced. It took half an hour of questions, interrogation, and finally threats before he admitted that my car is sitting in a ditch a few miles away, probably totaled. FML
Today, my neighbor's son siphoned the fuel out of my lawn mower and put it in his car. What he didn't realize is that the fuel mixture I use in my lawn mower would ruin his car engine. His dad says it's my fault and actually insists I should pay his pissant son's repair bill. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Not possible. Diesel gas handles don't fit in non-diesel filler tubes

that sucks.. your brother payed for fixing it? and why do some people assume its impossible? here (holland) the diesel en other petrols have same hoses.. only different colour, smell, name, and price... pretty hard to miss :) good luck cleaning your engine though..

You lie. In Australia the diesel pump won't fit in the petrol tank of a petrol/unleaded car so he did not fill your stupid car up with diesel.

Because you are an idiot and most likely have to have everything spelt out for you, the OP is from AUSTRALIA, where their words are different from any other place in the world. Like the loo = bathroom, mates = acquaintances, etc. Thus, leading her to use 'petrol car' instead of 'car'.

"Where their words are different from any other place in the world", you must also be an idiot because where I am from, which is NOT Australia, the "loo" is also the bathroom and "mates" are also your acquaintances. Get your facts straight.

YDI for letting a complete and utter imbecile drive your car.

It's called gas not petrol

Only in the U.S.A. Everywhere else, it's called petrol. Because we all speak proper English.

Hopefully his interview didn't fail as well
