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

Figure out who it was, and siphon their tank 'til it's nearly empty.

You do know that the remains of a gas tank are all the debris right?

OK, the distance, d, from your house to the rocks is at most 1/3 of the range of your dad's car (range = mpg x tank capacity). The maximum is the case where your friend sucked out exactly half of the gas. (If he sucked out more, d would be greater.) Without siphoning, the OP would have made returned home with 1/3 of a tank remaining. With the theft, he ran out of gas halfway home. Now, where's my motherfrackin' scholarship?!?!

You are the first person on here to impress me like this.

Math has never been sexier.

I'm impressed but in practical circumstances, he/she would've had to had at least enough gas to get him/her home if they hadn't been able to siphon the gas, just in case. So, not sure how practical that application is.

Whoever is paying $ 3.20 or so a gallon, I will think of you everytime I fill up for $ 4.25 a gallon......

Thank you I feel special. I would appreciate if you will not have ninjas appear on my neighbours roof tho.

37- That FML does not tie into this in any way.
lilhellian 27
79 It's a reference. I assume he is not happy that he pays that while I pay what I pay. So he might be annoyed to send ninjas after me like that. So i was asking him not to do it.

How could you a) Be gone so long that you don't notice someone stealing your gas or b) not notice that someone hasn't been with the group for a long time...
lilhellian 27
I'm sure it has nothing to do with him focusing on climbing and not dieing.

Well, unless the method for taking gas from a car has changed significantly over the years, I don't think it takes all that long. So the friend could say he had to go to the rest room, steal the gas, then come back In explaining he was gone so long cause Tacobell upset his stomach.

Your friend is one shiesty ****** stealing gas now a days is like stealing gold. Man you better make him fill your dads car back up.
lilhellian 27
Shitty* And only difference is an ounce of gold is more then a gallon of gas will ever reach.
ICastillo 25
Na I meant shiesty and I know its a big difference, it was just a joke saying how gas is very expensive now a days.

If your dad believes you, then you get the lecture about how people like that aren't your friends, which you seem to know since you put 'friends' in quotation marks. So if your dad starts to lecture you just be like "Dad, I know. Look how I wrote it on FML" and then you show this post to him
