Today, I was so engrossed in a phone call that I drove off without pumping gas after I'd prepaid $50. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

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 went to the gas station, paid the clerk, and drove off without pumping any gas. FML

Today, I was pumping gas, when my daughter called me. After I hung up, I put my phone on the car roof while I grabbed my bag. I completely forgot about it and only realized when it shot off the roof as I braked at a traffic light. FML

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 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

Not the only the only thing that's empty
Today, my daughter called me panicking that her car died in the middle of the road. I had to FaceTime her to talk her through calling a tow truck. Turns out she ignored the warning lights telling her that the tank was low and drove it until the tank was empty. I had to pay for that, plus the tow fees. 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

Another fine mess
Today, while pumping gas, I stopped to think about what a failure my life is, and how badly I've treated people in my past. While deep in thought, I accidentally pulled the gas pump out too far and covered myself with gasoline. FML

This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff

In this economy?!
Today, I was at the gas station with my grandma. After I slid her card and began to pump, I convinced her that it was a lot easier and more convenient to pay at the pump with your credit card instead of paying inside. She yelled as I realized I went $20 over what she had to spend. FML

You dipstick!
Today, while getting gas, a hottie pulled-up to the pump next to me. I finished filling my tank and started to drive away. As I was checking her out and paying no attention to my driving, I ended up taking the front bumper off her car with my truck. FML

That's why you don't talk on your phone at the gas station.

Instead of a FML you can think of this as a pay it forward doing a nice deed for someone. I would be upset about losing that money trying to play catch up with surgery costs personally and alot of people are broke. You can at least think the best out of the situation that someone who needed it got it or the store will reimburse you. Either way you shouldn't be on your phone at gas pumps there's a reason it's illegal in plenty of states and worries me you drive and talk too just an accident waiting to happen really. You're lucky that was all the harm done being the person on the phone driving not paying attention.

Annnnnd this is why if you're buying anything that you keep off your damn cell phone. If the call is that important, pull aside and wait in this case.

You're not even supposed to be on the phone while pumping gas because you could blow everyone up. YDI.
