Transportation: Today, I was syphoning some gas from my truck to my friend's...

Today, I was syphoning some gas from my truck to my friend's car just enough to get to the gas station. I told my friend to let me know when the gas was coming; he said, "Alright." Suddenly, I got a mouth full of gas because he was on his phone taking a video of me. He got the whole thing. FML

Today, I was at the gas station pumping gas when the lady in front of me had a little boy who asked if he could pump the gas. She said yes and then quickly answered her phone, as it was ringing. She wasn't watching him and he pulled out the pump to early, spraying gas all over me, including my face. FML

Today, my car ran out of gas. I was 20 feet away from the gas pump and the only person I could ask for help was the attendant, who'd asked me out a week ago. I'd said no, and so did he. FML

Today, while on a road trip with my friends, we stopped at a gas station to fill up. While I was pumping gas, a gust of wind blew my hat off and it landed in a puddle of gasoline. When I picked it up, my hands were covered in gasoline, so I smelled like a gas station for the rest of the trip. 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 out with two friends for lunch. The van we took ran out of fuel, so we pushed it to a nearby gas station, a gas station suffering from a gas shortage. 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 ran out of gas while driving, and had to call a tow truck. I drive a tow truck. FML

Today, after replacing several components on my new used car, I realized that the reason it wasn't getting the gas mileage it was supposed to because my coworkers take turns siphoning my gas while I work. FML

Today, I was at my friend's house. It was dark and downpouring so I couldn't see as I was backing out of his driveway. I made it out, but then my phone went off, scaring me, and I accidentally hit the gas pedal, hitting his neighbor's parked car. Turns out he called to warn me to watch out for it. FML

You should've taken the opportunity to spit the gasoline onto his face, MacGyver up a lighter and show him who's laughing then! Probably nobody. Because he'll be in a lot of pain. And you'll be going to prison. You psychopath.

Ugh, I feel your pain, OP. There's nothing worse than your friend not warning you when it's coming and then giving you a mouthful of something nasty.

What the "friend" did was nearly as bad. Swallowing gasoline can be fatal. The "Friend" is either a major dumbass, a major asshole, or both.

The next time this friend asks for your help, you should tell him he can suck on YOUR hose. (the ungrateful little shit...)

You have a truck and from my experience, a lot of gas stations stock small gas cans that you can use to transport fuel so you don't have to syphon gas with your mouth. You sound like a good friend though. Your friend, on the other hand, does not.

If your truck had gas, why didn't you just drive the truck to the gas station?

I belive some gas stations have gas cans to lend out to those whom don't have them for situations like this. Don't quote me on it, though. I've never had to go through this.

Why did you not just go to the gas station in your truck grab some gas and then come back? I mean most gas stations sell those jerry can things

Better to use a different container than to get gasoline in your mouth. Or just drive your friend somewhere and drop them off so that they can come back with a gas can.
