Free gas
Last night something cool happened. I was going to the gas station and then the grocery store. I was a bit shocked at the gas price at first:
“$1.41 for regular?!”
Then I remembered, this weekend is qualifications for the Indy 500, so everyone's jacking up their prices, as normal. Ah well. So I drive up and start pumping gas. It stops pumping at about 8 gallons, which is odd because it's a ten gallon tank and nearly empty. I tried to start pumping again, but got nothing. Hmm, odd.
“Oh well,” I figure, “it was too expensive anyway, I'll get more when it's cheaper.”
So I go in to pay for the gas, and the lady asked how much I had. I told her $12.00 (which it was). She was like, “Oh, you want $12?” to which I replied, “Uh.. no, I pumped $12” She said she couldn't get it to pull up anything on my pump. “Guess you got some free gas,” she said. Then I realized that someone had probably prepaid and forgotten to pump the gas. That would explain why it cutoff exactly at $12 and wouldn't let me pump anymore. So yeah, I got some free gas. That was a nice little blessing. :-]

sarah(5) – blessings are the best!
SSG – you need to post something
Japes – Move to Canadia. You never have to worry about such ridiculous prices. 64 cents is all you ever pay, though it's for a litre (a quart for all those uneducated ex-minions of the Clinton legislature), so it works out about the same...but you can PRETEND it's cheaper! ;)
Or you can move to South Africa where it's R4.60 for a litre, which might be cheaper, seeing as you get R11 for a buck US. But, then, the plane ticket and car will cost you a couple grand. lol.
Rachelskirts – Wow. Those were the days. I kinda wish gas was that cheap now...

That has never happened to me...it would be cool.
Last week I went to the gas station at 1am and a homeless lady asked me to buy her a soda. I consented but when we got up to the counter she had a 24pk of sprite.....I paid for it anyway. It was 5 bucks. But she could probably write the story on her site if she had one and it would be as cool as your story.
