Big Dummy

Today I did the dumbest thing I have done in a long time. While I was gone at my sisters house Brian bought me a new car (Yukon XL Denali) anyway today was the first time I had to put gas in it myself. When I got to the gas station I realized I didn't know where the little button was to open the tank. I was looking really hard and after about 5 or more mins, I decided it was time to call Brian. Well he was on the lake and didn't answer so I proceeded to call a friend who has the same car as me and she didn't answer either. At this point my girls are starting to wonder why we are STILL at the gas station. I them called my Mom, why you might ask, because I was hoping for some wisdom or something. She finally told me to just call the dealer, so I dug the paper work out of the glove compartment and called them. Seriously how embarrassing, I ask to speak to a salesman and proceed to tell him how big an idiot I am, I know he wanted to laugh because do you want to know how you open my gas tank- JUST PULL IT OPEN. genius I am not but I thought I was a little smarter than that, maybe I can blame it on pregnancy or something. By the time I pulled away we had been there 23 mins, I can't believe it took me 23 mins to fill up my car with gas. I think a blind monkey could do it in about 5. So next time you are emptying your wallets at the gas station just think of me and have a laugh at my expense.

You gotta love a good gas station story... I tried for ten minutes to get the pump to turn on only to realize I had the quite obviously green and marked differently diesel pump in my car, yet I was pushing the button for the regular unleaded. Yeah. Finally some nice man emptying the trash cans came over and fixed it for me. I felt totally stupid...

that is ok tillia. I am sure EVERYONE has a good gas station story. I have a botton on the inside of my door that makes my tank open, but I always put my purse on the floor behind my seat so you have to open the back sliding door to get it, well the door would not open. I tried and tried. I was sooo mad. Chris was even getting yelled at because he was trying to tell ME how to do it.any way obviously you can not open a sliding door while the tank is open or it will hit the tank door. duh
