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

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I was so engrossed in a phone call that I drove off without pumping gas after I'd prepaid $50. 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, in an effort to conserve gas by using as much of the gas in my tank before refilling it, I ran out just before I could get to the gas station. Nobody can come bring me any. 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 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 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

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

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, my wife and I were driving to the gas station, she let me out before she pulled up to the pumps because I had to buy some things from the store. I returned to see my wife proudly filling the tank. Smiling, she told me that diesel was cheaper than regular gas. We don't own a diesel car. FML

Almost made it
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

Well you certainly made someone's day, or week.

You do realize all you had to do was return to the station and tell them what happened. Theyll have the transaction on file and will see you didn't pump gas. Has actually happened to me before. Was zoned out during finals. Went back and he turned the pump back on.

So did you have enough gas to go back and claim your fuel?

My friends dad didn't forget to put the gas pump in but forgot to take it out and drove off with the whole thing.

You paid the clerk WHAT, exactly? How do you get charged if the pump didn't pump anything?

#148 I've never driven, but from what I understand by watching others get gas, you pay first and then pump the gas? I guess maybe it just stops once you've got the amount you paid for.. I just know you definitely pay first. At least that's how it is in Arizona, not sure how it works everywhere else.

Yeah, in Ohio you have to pay first too. It's a pain in the ass.
