Another non-aviation but...
On a road trip with some friends we pulled off to get some gas as we were near empty. I pumped the gas while everyone else went in to the store. After they came back out we sat there while it was pumping and complained how we weren't making very good time and should be able to make it the rest of the way without stopping again for gas. So I payed at the pump and off we went. Once back on the main road I look down and the saw the low fuel light go off. Confused on how that could be I thought it was error with the guage. I pulled out the receipt and it read $1.50. I'm still embarassed to think how long I stood out there with no gas being pumped into the car. Needless to say this didn't help our ontime performance.
Once in college, After filling up the tank with gas, I hopped in the car and drove away from the pump. I heard a loud bang!! looked in the rear view mirror to see the pump handle and hose dangling from my cars gas-hole. (did I mention I was about 20 feet from the pump now) DOH!
Well, luckly the girl behind the counter came out and told me to just go-ahead and leave, this happened every "so-often".
I searched for 45 one night! man did I feel stupid[/quote
I started using my voice memo on my phone to tell me where I parked. Too many times coming home late in ORD wondering around for my car.
Did the same thing in uniform after a four day. I was new, beat, and had started to come down sick late that afternoon and was now driving 185 miles home. It must have really been an inspiration to go flying to the few people around the pumps at the time.
Obviously it wasn't in the last place you would have looked!!Heck, one time I kept searching for fifteen minutes after I found my car. doh!
find myself doing this all the time, especially in heavy rain on the interstate
