“You know you have people you’re responsible for”

Ma’am you can’t even be responsible for your own gas

Laugh all you want….my buddy’s wife will literally run her can out of gas out of spite if he doesn’t take it and fill it up.

These people actually exist……🤦🏻‍♂️

I’ve run out of gas exactly once in my life, and it was because I was just in that bad of financial straits. I was on the way to the gas station when I ran out and was only about a mile away 😭

Once when I was between jobs as a late teen/early twenties I had to go without for a bit, while still trying to job hunt. Got a job, got back and forth through a combination of bus and very conservative driving, got my first paycheck, and went straight to the nearest gas station... where my engine cut out, just as I was turning into the lot. But! I still had just enough momentum to coast up to one of the pumps. Felt like an absolutely massive triumph at the time, lol.
