Just call me Lady Petrol

I did something retardedly retarded today, even for me.

I was pumping gas, and I flicked that little metal lever thingy where you can set the nozzle to auto and actually walk away whilst your gas is pumping. Got distracted when Lily came out of the car and started talking about something totally inane and random, like how she pronounced the word 'potato' when she was a baby or something, and then I heard the little 'click' that told me the tank was all full.

So then I did this.

Wait for it...

I yanked the nozzle out of the hole (thatswutshesaid) but the gas was still flowing, right? So out it came squirting like a hose on a 4-alarm fire, spraying my whole car door, all the cement near us, and both Lily's and my boots.

So, I went to work smelling like a concentration camp. Good thing my office mate is staunchly Christian (as I've inferred by the giant wooden cross on his desk and neatly framed scripture quotes), so I don't think I offended anyone. Except me.

I might even be high right now. Clearly I must be, if I thought this was worth blogging about.

Happy Tuesday, Lovies!

  4. Mmmm, the smell of gas combined with Wite Out fumes probably made things at the office a little more fun, eh?

  6. Sharpies are the best smelling thing that does not get me high but I wished did out there.

  7. I think I'm watching too much porn cause the image I got I got from the description of the gas spill had a totally different scenario...

  8. Okay well it was definitely worth blogging about -- because it made me laugh. Especially the last in-the-office-with-the-Christian part...
