Luckly no one or anything was damaged (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
Yep, gas filler is on the passanger side, filled up with fuel, went into the station to get something to drink and get a couple of lotto tickets...I guess the thought of winning the Lotto had my mind clouded...hop into the car and drove off... heard loud bang, oh $h!t, I ripped the nozzel and hose right off the gas pump...luckly it had some sort of break-away attachment that stopped the fuel from leaking out..... I went back into the station and mentioned "breaking" the hose, they just said thanks and they'll go out and fix it...I half expected that I'd have to pay for it.... 3rd bad thing to happen in the last few weeks for me so I think I'm good for another few years (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) |

Did the same thing about 14 years ago.. I'm the reason they put those safety shut off valves on the pumps.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)
I did it with a moving truck. Took the hose, and two signs with me.. S**T ALARMS, BELLS, GAS, Yelling (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/Yack.gif) in a language I could not understand, I thought for sure I was a dead man..... Good thing I had the extra insurance... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Tell your wife, hey at least I didn't screw up as bad as this dummy!!
