Today, my friend's van ran out of gas on an expressway off-ramp. After pushing it to the shoulder, we walked to a gas station and got a can of gas. We got back to the van to find that the battery had died from leaving on the lights and hazards to avoid an accident. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
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 picked up my car from the repair shop, drove two miles, and ran out of gas. I then walked to get gas, put a gallon of gas in the car, and tried to start it. The battery was too weak to start the car, and died on the spot. FML
Today, after my car died a mile from my house, I huffed, puffed and pushed it back to my house off the street, so I wouldn't get a ticket overnight. After getting it towed to the shop in the morning, I got a call telling me they put gas in it for me and it starts up fine now. FML
Today, I pulled into a parking lot, for the car to simply shut off because I ran out of gas. Then I couldn't get the key out of the ignition, so I called my dad, who walked all the way to where I was, only to find out that the car was still in drive. FML
Today, I pulled up to a stoplight and blew past the car beside me to merge into one lane. About 30 seconds later, I ran out of gas right in front of them. We were on a bridge, and I had to push my car all the way across. FML
Today, my car ran out of battery. I'm writing this from the middle of the road. FML
Today, I was driving to a gas station because I'd noticed I was almost on empty. Literally a block away from the gas station, my car broke down in the middle of an intersection, and I had to push my car to the side of the road, only to be questioned by police for "suspicious behavior." FML
Today, my minivan broke down on the side of the highway. I'm out of work and can't afford a cell phone, so I resorted to standing at the back of my van holding a "HELP" sign. About an hour went by, in which time I was passed by a cop car, a firetruck, and a car that said "Roadside Assistance." 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 ran out of gas while driving, and had to call a tow truck. I drive a tow truck. FML

Hazards probably would have been fine, but headlights suck a lot more juice.

never leave the headlights on - hazards are enough. headlights drain battery, hazards dont. and who runs out of gas these days? haven't they invented a fuel gauge where you're from? even on empty there's a little fuel but to push on beyond that and run out, that's just stupid.

Only excuse I can see is if the fuel gauge is broken, and then not registering the amount of gas. And even that is really only okay if it /just/ broke. YDI for not paying more attention to the fuel gauge, and for leaving the headlights on.

I'm sorry...is no one going to mention the fact that they got a "can" of gas?

Those containers used to carry gasoline are often called gas cans, despite the fact that they don't fit the standard definition of can.

Oh wow... This exact same thing happened to me last week! Same location and everything! Haha. Only I didn't push it. I left it there with hazards on. We didn't realize it was the battery so we had to have it towed!! Thank gosh for insurance!

I went to the store at 11pm on an insane craving. I also picked up gummy strawberries and letters, and pineapple soda.
