Here is todays story! 
I should have my parenting license revoked! '
I leave work about 10 minutes late and REALLY need gas. Now my car is in Jersey getting serviced and I have a loaner. Its a Kia Rio, and tiny but I am used to it after a week, and it has grown on me.
Anyway, pull into the sef serve and IMMEDIATELY get surrounded by other vehicles. Trapped comes to mind Anyway, I get out armed with my trusty debit card and begin the transaction. Grab the hose and turn. Anyone want to guess what happens next? Ya got it!!! Its on the other side of the car
So this guy sees this and starts chuckling and I just smiled and aksed "instead of finding humor, lets find a solution. Shall we?" I admit I was just in a bad mood. He said "just stretch it over it'll reach". I turn to do so and somehow forgot that this would mean I am carrying the hose in front of me.
Now I am clumsy. Not just on occasion!! I am nothing if not consistent!
Back to the pump. I start to walk over and get to said gas tank and I can't open it!! Like at all, it won't budge!!!!!! Same guys said, "you know there is probably a release in the car. What did you just steal this car?"
I snap him a look and said "Yes, you got me!"
Walk back to hang up the nozzle and return to the interior of the car to search for this release button.
Lets see, I turned on the hazard lights, opened the hood of the car as well as the trunk. I also released my seat to where it was now in the lay down position and I really felt like I needed to at this point.
Well by this time the people that had surrounded me have decided this is the best free game in town and have been watching me
Said "helpfull" guy is now next to my door laughing so hard he looks like his head will pop off of his shoulders at any given second. I am laying on the seat hitting the lever over and over in a frenzy trying to get "lay down" seat back to "sit up" position.
So here I am laying down and he is laughing "Please let me help you. Please get out of the car". I told him I was not "falling for that one he might take the vehicle". (It could happen ya know)
He then said in uproarious laughter, "please honey, get out of the car".
So I get out and proceed to watch him pull a lever, and theres the "sit up" seat. He then said "watch this" and reached a whole 3 inches in front of said lever to the floor (where there was a little diagram of the gas thingie) and popped the gas open for me.
I wanted the world to stop and swallow me whole
He then asked if I knew how to even pump gas and offered to do it. I, of course, was offended!! I said "I thank you so much for all of your help, but yes, I will be fine, and I have it from here".
He is still chuckling and said, "thanks for the laughs, I had a rotten day and this was great" We smile and he leaves.
I pump the gas and now the onlookers have left (Thank God)!
I get in the car, put on the seatbelt, start the car, turn lights on and put it in drive. Start to go and this car litterally pulls right in front of me!! I jerk to a halt and same guy gets out, again laughing.
He walks over to my window and said, "just a minute of your time honey"!
He then walked to the back of the car and shut the trunk, he then walked to the front of the car and properly shuts the HOOD!!
He walks back to his vehicle laughing, jumps in and yells "thanks again"
So I finally get home, finally!!!!!
Awwwww, no-one is home!! I take off my shoes and it hits me like a punch to the face out of nowhere!!
Rebecca had her first swim team practice and I was to pick her up!! I FORGOT MY DD!
No need to compete, the award is in the bag
