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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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 the gas station, paid the clerk, and drove off without pumping any gas. FML
Today, trying to do something nice for my brother, I filled up his truck's gas tank. I didn't realize until too late that it's a diesel. 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 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 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, I stopped by the gas station. As I was filling up I noticed a cute guy at the pump next to me. When I was done, I gave him a wink before opening my car door. It was locked. I had to call my Dad to bring my spare keys. The guy was laughing the whole time as I waited for my Dad to show up. 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, 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

What a pain in the gas.

That's just an overall bad idea. Maybe you should've pumped it yourself and let him go inside to pay and get the snacks...or at least watched and made sure he could do it properly.

It was his first time so I wouldn't get too mad at him. I'm sure he didn't mean it. Although you will have spend a few bucks to get that fixed.

In America diesel nozzles are larger than regular nozzles. This prevents accidents like this from happening because the diesel nozzle won't fit into a regular sized tank opening

Because USA and America are totally different things...

with the size difference it shouldn't have even fit in the first place. there's a huge difference

Exactly, which means there's a good chance the little cousin was screwing with OP and he fell for it.

From my experience, not always true. Every station I've been to in my area uses bright yellow covers for the diesel nozzle, but the actual thing is the same size. Same thing with kerosene, which has a blue cover but is the same size as the other two.

That is bullshit, not every diesel pump has a different size nozzle, and not every vehicle has a different size fill tube. As fleet mechanic for a delivery contractor i had to drain tanks like 5 times a year because some noob isnt paying attention.

Let me guess next thing he's gonna put smokestacks on

Isn't this not possible because the nozzles are different sizes? Especially because you're in Pennsylvania, America. The nozzle wouldn't even fit in a regular car.

How did the nozzle fit? They are made to prevent this type of accident. It really sucks.

Can't he read signs? Or tell the difference between the nozzle sizes?
