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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I heard water splashing outside of my house; I investigated it, only to find my dad, whom I don't live with, syphoning gas out of my car. FML
Today, I let my brother borrow my car, as he had a job interview. I told him the tank was nearly empty and gave him $20 to put some petrol in it. Ten minutes later, he calls me, saying the car won't start. He filled it up with diesel. It's a petrol car. FML
Today, I went to drive my mom's car for a change. It wouldn't start, so I open the hood. Someone had stolen the battery. I go to start my own car so I can drive to the police station to report the theft, and discover someone siphoned off my gas. 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 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
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 was trying to do a nice thing and let my friend's mom borrow my car. I went to move my mom's car that was parked behind me so that I could get my car out, and then proceeded to back into my dad's new company car. FML
Today, my neighbor's son siphoned the fuel out of my lawn mower and put it in his car. What he didn't realize is that the fuel mixture I use in my lawn mower would ruin his car engine. His dad says it's my fault and actually insists I should pay his pissant son's repair bill. FML
Today, I was at my grandfather's house and my car was low on gas. He said I could put some of his gas in my car. He accidentally gave me the wrong tank to pump it out of, and I put fuel in my car that he uses for his small plane. It never ran better until the engine exploded. FML
Today, I illicitly borrowed my dad's car to go to the store, but crashed into my mom's car as she and dad were returning from my grandma's house. Both cars are totalled, my mom is in hospital with a broken collarbone, and I realised dads really can make steam come out their ears if they’re really mad. FML

how did your friend have all of that gas on him the whole way back?
AbstraktThoughts 13
He siphoned the gas and put it in ******* zip lock bags. Duh. *sarcasm
TurquoiseJesus 15
Clearly he drank it all, pissed it out when he got home, carefully filtered it to just be the gas, and put it in his car. Come now, I thought that was quite obvious.

1, buddy put it in his car..

Or is it possible that it was some random person not associated with op?

Get him to pay you back for what he stole..

So much for a friend in need is a friend indeed...

I'm not sure about you but in my personal dictionary he/she is no longer a friend.

That "friend" would be walking home.

With gas prices these days, you can't blame them too much.
Hiimhaileypotter 53
Actually, you can. That's messed up.
cosmosis 12
Theft is still theft no matter how much you sugar coat it... What makes it even worse is that a "friend" did it.

The price of food these days. We should all just rob supermarkets.

People that don't want to pay $3.20+ a gallon? Nah that's to obvious it's the flying purple llamas.
AbstraktThoughts 13
3.20?! Where do you live, so I can move there? I'm paying 3.89 and THAT'S cheap :o
lilhellian 27
It's actually 3.40 but i get a discount for being family friend. :D
redbluegreen 41
Some stores in Oregon offer $3.10 if you have a membership.
andy70707 6
Gosh, you Americans complaining about fuel prices. In the Uk, it's about £1.40/Litre which works out at around $8/gallon.
lilhellian 27
26 I'm sure you'd complain if it spiked to $3.20. 25 Walmart does something similar. places on interstate are like 4.30+
Angelous505 5
28- he wouldn't complain at 3.20 a gal he would rejoice if his is $8 a gal
lilhellian 27
I meant 3.20 a litre sorry. I can't edit it.
happle 21
Shit you guys, it's like $4.05 over here.
ElricMustang 23
Seriously? It's about $4.39 here, mainly because of the hurricane and no-one being able to get gas.
xXHollowIchigoXx 17
Maybe it's because I'm young, I don't know. But I always see people complain about gas prices and what-not. $3-4 a gallon? That sounds pretty cheap to me. Thats chump change. But I'm in no position to talk, until I get a car. :P
you_failed 15
Because of Sandy, I'm paying about $4.19 a freakin' gallon! :( I need to move where you guys live!
lilhellian 27
46 Before Obama took office the prices were about 1.50 with occasional spikes to 2.00. So instead of like 12 gallons for 20, you get like 5-7 depending where you are maybe less.

53 I'm not a bandwagon I simply stated how it ended up. Besides I have a feeling you're one of the ones who voted for him to prove you're not racist.

$3.20 is expensive for gas, considering the national minimum wage is around $6..
SakataGintoki 9
One of these times to be glad I'm Canadian; it's only 1:39$ here c:
ThomasScott 7
58-The National Minimum wage is $7.25. On another not gas is only $3.07 for total 100% gas where I live, no ethanol.
lilhellian 27
58 where do you live? I don't know any place like that.
twinny_sc 13
Gas here in Arkansas is $3.15. I'll stop complaining because if I had to pay $3.89 I'd be ******* pissed.
Nutz101 7
Damn you guys are lucky. Where I live it costs 4.50
PhishloverA 14
Except your ethnicity has nothing to do with how much you pay for gas. I think you mean you're glad to live in Canada
metalwolf 17
46- You have to realize that your car holds more than a single gallon of gas. My car used to cost 20 dollars to get a full tank. It would be even worse if I had a truck like my dads which has much worse fuel economy and a larger tank. Throwing out 30 dollars a week would make some people upset.
drewflav 17
59 - $1.39/L is roughly $5.25/gal without converting currency. That's mighty expensive gas for this continent.
ajeppsen 25
#46 if your tank holds around 12 gallons the price will be around $48. correct me if I'm wrong but I believe most gas tanks hold way more than my example.
GrammarTeacher 1
It's only 3.02 here, was actually just under 3 for a bit.
DerrickJames 33
In my part of California we pay 5.00$ for a gallon of gas.
loveashlley 6
46- 3-4$ doesn't sound bad, but cars take about 13 gallons to fill up. So say, 13 gallons, at 4$ is about 52 bucks for a full tank of gas. Multiply that by maybe two weeks (and that's being generous) and you end up paying a rough minimum of 104 dollars a month depending how much you drive. It all begins to add up.

In Texas the most expensive I've seen for regular gas was $3.29. My friend found gas for $3.16 it was like a miracle from baby Jesus himself.
mzrobinson 13
I'm in tx and gas is 3.45 average but in my NM hometown the lowest is 2.85!!
chippa 24
I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and it is has been $4.50/gallon for a few weeks now. And that is a really good price compared to the $5.50 that it had been steadily for a couple years! Consider yourselves lucky. :3

hunteredmundson 17
A cars tank is usually a lot more than 13 gallons, my truck is 30 (yes I know a truck will have a bigger tank than a car, but still 13 gallons is not a lot of gas)
awkwardloveannie 28
gas was 2.19 for a while here now its back to 3.29 a gallon

Great "friend" you got there.
nancyschmancy 9
Is anyone else confused by this FML?
emeraldisle 30
What are you confused about exactly?
AllyyK 9
No, just you apparently.
redbluegreen 41
If you're still confused, wire me $25 and I'll explain it to you slowly with pictures.
nancyschmancy 9
I'm sure that is the only way you can explain it.
emeraldisle 30
I hope you're able to find out which friend and kick their arse.
gc327072 31
*sigh* such a noob way to steal gas. Siphoning is so 20th century.
nancyschmancy 9
Gas siphoning became popular again when gas hit $4 a gallon. Not so ridiculous when a 5 gallon can holds $20 worth of gas.
gc327072 31
17- so has RFID gas card hacking, which can fill up an entire tank, and has the least risk of confrontation.
StoryOfTheYear 15
The real way to make money off of gas is to but hundreds of gallons at the prices they are now. Then in a few years sell it all for reduce loudly low prices after gas hits 10 bucks a gallon. Fool-proof.

Gas goes bad.

I had the same thought when I was younger, then I realized that gas goes bad so it wouldn't work.

How he knows one of his friends siphoned it?
nancyschmancy 9
Oops! That comment was directed at 11.
lilhellian 27
I'm guessing he didn't or the fml would have: I got my ass kicked trying to get my gas back. Or it would be: Today i got my ass kicked for siphoning my friends gas.

Seeing as a few FMLs lack specification in some ways, that was either an assumption on OPs part or OP had some evidence to go off of.
