Default Idiot moment of the day.

Ok, so I went to go get gas tonight. I'm waiting for a pump and finally one frees up. I pull up to it, and at the same time, a cute chick pulls up at the pump next to me. I start pumping gas, but my dumb ass is paying more attention to the girl then the gas.

After a couple of minutes I turn my attention back to the gas and notice that's pretty cheap. First clue, gas is not cheap right now. I stare at the price on the pump, stare at the giant price sign on the pole, and friggin realize that I was pumping 87! Luckily I only put 1/2 tank of the 87 in. Filled the rest with 91. Guess no hard driving until all this stuff is used up.

I am such a complete, typical man idiot.

The other week I was at the motocross track gassing up my bike, and a rather attractive mom was kneeling over helping her son. Nothing but back and thong showing. So sure enough, I overfill the bike and pour gas all over the bike.

Even funnier, my buddy right next to me was lubing his chain with an aerosol can, and squirted the oil all over the place, but not on his chain.

She was definitely a head turner and had us behaving as one would expect.....it's tough to fight genetics.

Almost all gas pumps I've seen lately require that you select what octane gas to use. They're also brightly labled and color coded. So that girl must have been REALLY cute to mess something like that up.

I think we need to know how attractive she really was. Meaning....

It also doesn't help that they aren't consistent as to which button does which grade.

Usually (even with individual pumps) it's: regular, middle grade, and premium, in order from left to right. Diesel is usually off on it's own pump. Now they mix 'em all up. I've seen reg, middle and diesel on one pump with premium on it's own.

Maddening, I tell you.

A co-worker of mine was on travel with me once and he was filling up the car. '98 Taurus IIRC. After a short while, he noticed he was putting diesel in the tank. After a couple gallons of that, he topped it off with regular and the car ran like absolute crap for a while.

I once tripped on the hose while trying to look cool and nimble by jumping over it. There always seems to be a cute girl about when that happens. (>_<) Another time, I almost took off with the nozzle still attached to car.
