OK, now most of you have seen this pic. I saw it ages ago. I'm not posting it here because I think it's the latest and funniest thing I've seen. Bear with me.

I just got a call from Mrs. Platypus. It started out with, "Are you in a good mood?" Ya see where this going, don't ya?

Seems she went to the full service bay at the gas station. Usually she does self-serve, but she wanted her oil checked. So the guy takes her credit card, starts pumping gas and checking fluids. A couple minutes later he hands back her card and then walks over to the car in the lane next to her. She thinks he's done and so starts to drive off...

He wasn't.

She got only a few feet before she heard a loud noise. Got out, saw what she'd done, and yelled loudly, "Shit!!!" She's an Aussie - never been one to mince words. She says there's no damage to the car, and no serious fuel spill. Seems these pumps are now made with self-sealing break-away hoses. They cost $40 to fix, though.

I nearly pissed myself laughing while she told me this. God I love her. I'm emailing this picture to her now.

I used to work at a gas station many a year ago. One evening, just as I was about to leave, some idjit in a white chevy van did that exact thing, drving away with the handle still in the truck. Fortunately, he had already finished pumping his gas and the pump was off. However, it did break the handle right off the hose.

Now, the worst thing about this whole deal for me was that, instead of getting to leave on time, I had to spend 45 minutes filling out an accident report because the night shift girl was clueless as to anything more complicated than making change.

Damn platy, that's pretty funny, but kinda sad too :-\

cchris · 07-17-2003, 05:12 PM

Oh Man that's hilarious.

hawkeye · 07-17-2003, 08:39 PM

that is Awesome.

Junchbailey · 07-18-2003, 09:35 AM

I used to pump gas a few years ago. This happens more than you think.

Donkeypuncher · 07-18-2003, 03:38 PM

Eeeeeexcellent.

Now the dilemma... give her endless mounds of crap for doing this because, well, it's funny... or be nice about it and hold that card in your back pocket for when YOU do something stupid.

Decisions, decisions...

platypus · 07-18-2003, 04:38 PM

Oh there's no decision to be made. This is worth a basket-load of fun points. I plan to spend lavishly.

Donkeypuncher · 07-18-2003, 08:37 PM

hahaha yeah; I probably would, too.
Have fun...

crow_daw · 07-18-2003, 08:52 PM

Well, boys, add me to the list of people this has happened to. I too once had a summer job pumping gas, and some bitch drove off on me, and I saw her doing it, ran to stop her, and when it broke and flew out of her tank, it fucking clipped my leg HARD. It made a huge god damn bruise. I named the bruise Lyle.

But its not over, I was retelling the story to my friends in my US History class, and they said, "Now WHO did this again?". And I said, "Some stupid fat bitch in a green car." And I swear to God, another classmate of mine turned around and said, "That was my mom................"

True story.

Side note: My girlfriend is a SHITTY ass driver as well. Its pretty funny.
