Gas pumps are a test from the Devil himself, to see if you will lose it after it fails to start and then pours gas all over your nice dress shoes when it fails to shut off.

I've had cars that you can drive forever with the gas light on, and I've had cars that mean BUSINESS when that light comes on. My current car has this fun trick where the gas needle goes all the way to "F" when it gets BELOW a quarter tank. Fun times were had by all until I figured out that little nugget. I'm thinking the gas light thing is different for every car.

Your gym experience sounds like the way I live my life. I also do embarrassing things while I'm driving, like miss a turn and then drive for a few miles like it was a deliberate choice so the cars behind me won't know I'm such an idiot. Also, my dad told me once that sometimes Catholic schools would train the kids to walk on the left side (oddly enough, he says this came up in his student teacher training). It's probably not so common now, but that was his explanation.

I've also been wondering about number 1: do people think we're in England or something? Drive on the right, walk on the right, dumbasses. and number 4: those morons from Mt. Hood were on the Today show this morning and I thought, ain't that somethin. They're on national TV because they were so damn stupid. Instead, they should be publicly ridiculed and made to pay for their rescue. Dumbasses, do your mountain climbing in good weather. Jiminy Christmas!

Wait, you mean I'm not the only person who constantly tries to go in the wrong door? Or just saves myself the trouble by running into the door? Sometimes, when I've realized I'm walking the wrong way, I'll stop and tie my shoe, then start walking in the other direction when I stand up. Because otherwise everyone will KNOW, and that's just tragic. Also, on behalf of all the college students in America on scholarship, I'm sorry about those other people. They just won't go away! and they're not very nice!

Hey, but you went and worked out. (And me? I always scope out a place like the day before so I know what I'm getting myself into. I do this with ski areas, too - I hate looking completely clueless.) Gah.

3. Related, how long can you drive with the fuel light on before you actually run out of gas? I'm too chickenshit to test this. Answer: It depends on your car, but I can go about ten miles or fifteen minutes, as long as there is no radio, no air or heat on, and I chant "please god please god please god please god" the whole time.
