Today, I pulled into the gas station to fill up only to realize I had forgot my wallet. By the time I went home, got it, and came back, the price had gone up eleven cents. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, when paying for gas, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet back home. After a moment of panic, I managed to remember my card number. I paid, blowing the cute cashier's mind, and drove away, before my car started sputtering and slowed to a crawl. I'd used the wrong fuel. 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 had to drive down to my parents' house. On they way down, I needed to fill up on gas but unfortunately I'd forgotten my wallet at home with all of my cash and credit cards. I then had to call triple A and explain to them in all seriousness how I ran out of gas at the gas station. FML
Today, I left the house to DoorDash and remembered that I forgot to get gas last night. I had just enough gasoline to make it to Costco for better prices. It wasn’t until I pulled in that I realized I'd left my wallet at home. I have approximately two miles of gas left. FML
Today, I was standing in the gas station, pulling out my wallet to pay the $100 of gas I just filled my car with. I opened my wallet and found a note saying "borrowed money for food". FML
Today, I was sitting at home when I remembered that I desperately needed gas for my car. On my way there, I prayed that my car would make it the whole way, and was thankful when I pulled up to the pump, because I knew my car wouldn't go any further. Then I realized I left my wallet at my house. FML
Today, after completely refilling my almost empty gas tank, I witnessed the price flip from $3.69 per gallon to $3.59. FML
Today, while working at a gas station, I accidentally changed the price of gas to 8.9 cents per litre. It took me fifteen minutes to figure out why everyone wanted only two or three dollars of gas. I fixed it, but now my managers are debating charging me for lost revenue. FML
Today, I finally decided to go Christmas shopping. It's only once I arrived that I realized that I had forgotten my wallet. FML
Today, I went to the gas station, paid the clerk, and drove off without pumping any gas. FML

Well, that's the United States for ya. I bet if you went back after writing this FML, you would find that the price increased once more. Or twice more. Who knows?

It didn't change in a matter of minutes. The prices changed either the night before or first thing in the morning. It's just that the sign hadn't been changed yet. You would have been paying for the new price even if it hadn't been updated on the sign. I used to work in a gas station. But an 11 cent increase does still suck regardless, fyl.

I used to work at a gas station too, and when we got a call for price changes on gas, it happened right then no matter the time of day. And if prices went up, the sign changed before the price at the pump. How many people would demand the lower price on the sign?

doesn't always change exclusively between shifts - i was actually in line at the pumps when the price jumped (.25/litre). man were the folks behind me pissed... i was the last in line on my side to get the old, cheaper price of 1.05/litre. (and to those of you confused, i'm in canada, where gas is priced by the litre, little more than 4 litres/gallon. thus, at our current west coast price of 1.50 per, you'd find a touch over 6 for regular)

I'm sure the whole dollar extra it cost you was really "FML" worthy.

I wish it was 3.09 over here, lowest I've seen by me is 3.48 :(

On a 15 gallon tank, that's a difference of a WHOPPING $1.65...

My car holds 19 gallons, that's 2.09 for a full tank. I fill up 3 times a pay. That's an average of 150.00 difference over a year driving 30k plus miles. which is less than .003% of annual salary. So I don't care really which station I stop at, not worth my time or extra driving.
