oh yeah. It's me.
So, I'm in the car enroute to the funeral (See May 10th "Sad News" post), but I'm low on fuel and I'm driving from one end of town to the other... so I stop to fill up. Well, slightly fill up. I am particularly low on cash this week, so I could only fill up $8.70. (Don't ask.) So I stick in the gas pump and flick the metal part so it'll hold w/out me having to press on it. I watch the dollars and cents add up... and as I get close to $8.70 I grabbed the handle so I could disengage the metal thingy. And it doesn't disengage. So rather than calmly reassess the situation, I freak out and pull the entire pump OUT of my car... thereby spilling gas all over my arm and the ground. DAMNIT!
So, now, not ONLY have I gone over my budgeted $8.70 ($8.87), I have spilled gas all over myself. Fortunately, I did not spill any on my clothing, just all over my arm and shoe. Yeah, just.
Stupid broken gas pump.
Anyway, for some reason I keep a beach towel and half a bottle of water in my trunk... so as best I could, I rinsed my shoe and arm with the remainder of the water, dried my arm and got back into my car completely pissed off at myself.
My best friend and I were already running late, so I didn't have time to go find a bathroom to clean myself properly, but fortunately she had a bottle of perfume and lotion in her purse. THANK GOD! So I doused myself w/perfume and then rubbed myself down with lotion... and she helped me. (Uh, no Sicko, that was a joke!) And so now here I am 4 hours later, and the perfume has evaporated, as has the lotion... and I smell like a damn gas station!
It's just too bad none of you (meaning the 2-3 people who read this) are here to enjoy the wonderful aroma that surrounds me. I'm sure you're very disappointed. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the laugh at my expense.

This sounds EXACTLY like something that I would do. Well done!
