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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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 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, my wife put petrol in my diesel car and ruined the engine, I got a bit upset, but I wasn’t screaming or yelling or anything, but she flew completely off the handle at me at how I was putting all the blame on her and it wasn’t fair. I ended up apologising to her for her mistake. FML
Today, I spent £107 filling wife's car up with fuel. When I get home she says "don't forget we have to fill my car up at Tesco at the weekend". "I've already done it at Asda earlier" I say. "You stupid dumb idiot" she says, "I wanted it filled up at Tesco so I could get Clubcard points". 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 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, while getting gas, a hottie pulled-up to the pump next to me. I finished filling my tank and started to drive away. As I was checking her out and paying no attention to my driving, I ended up taking the front bumper off her car with my truck. FML
Today, after a tearful weekend of burying my best friend, I stopped for gas on my way home. I got distracted by a guy next to me who was acting strange. I unknowingly filled my car with Diesel. It cost over $1000 to tow home, and I can't even get it looked at until Tuesday. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Here in America, we have much larger nozzles for diesel gas, so that people like your wife cannot put diesel in their cars. The nozzle will not fit into the tank. Only cars with diesel engines have holes large enough to stick the diesel nozzle in.

Oh dear God. :( Strangely diesel is more expensive here in the UK.

This is stupid. To the OP, dont listen to douchebags who have no sense of humility. I bet you EVERY person in here has screwed up, just like this, somewhere in their life. And if you havent, its cause your a wee child, but dont worry, the experiance will come to you as well. This was a great FML, and the guys wife isnt an idiot. She is ignorant, in the way she did not know the finer points of pumping gas, and all she did was try to help, and save some cash. That doesnt make her stupid, that makes her uneducated in one aspect of life... OH NOES, cause all you calling her down are geniuses right? Ha. Try some empathy, humility, and dont take shit so serious. But I guess not taking things serious is how you asshats came to the fine opinion of "Shes an idiot" rather than using your head before you said anything. GG Anyways, I could see my girlfriend not quite doing this, but surely thinking about it. As I said before, good FML. Haha ok #86 basically said what I said... I did not see this. Well done #86!!

@ 89 - yes, really! As if none of these people have ever screwed up before. I bet you a lot of them have fallen for the gas station trick where they switch regular and premium on different sides of the pump. The gas station by my house does it, so if you're not paying attention and reach for where regular unleaded would be on the side you are used to, you might wind up paying for premium instead. :| I fell for it once, when I first got my new car. Fortunately, it was after gas prices had dropped severely so it wasn't too bad. But ever since then, I've always taken care to check which grade I'm really getting. Yes, she was ignorant here and it was unfortunate, but she was trying to be helpful. It certainly doesn't warrant a divorce :P

I ususally give people the benefit of the doubt. Everyone has dumb moments, but there's a fine line between a silly mistake and just downright stupidity. Don't let her pump the gas anymore.
