    Do I dare share another story now that I have embarrassed myself already? Years ago at the same gas station but with a different car and a different attendant I once again rolled in. I went to grab the release for the little door to the gas cap and instead grabbed the trunk release. I was mortified to see out the back window that my trunk lid was up! This time I was already laughing and as the attendant walked up to my car. He was very nice and said that people do that all the time. Maybe he was just being polite since he saw that I felt like an idiot. When I got to my daughter's yesterday I said "wait til I tell you what happened at the gas station this morning." Her reply......"did you open the trunk release again?"

    I hit my trunk release ALL the time and don't realize it until I'm all the way around the car, because my trunk doesn't pop up. Then have to walk all the way back. Or I go to open the door to the gas area and it slips out of my hand and slams shut so I have to walk all the way around to hit the release again.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I have to open my trunk to release the fuel door. Its an old buick electra and the fuel release button in the dashboard doesn't work, and there is no way I'm taking apart a car that big to rewire something like that. Well, maybe in the summer, maybe. I don't know how I'd explain that to the attendants.
