You drove and pulled up to the gas station to fill your gas tank. You exited your vehicle, opened your gas tank cover, grabbed and put the dispenser nozzle in. You also had to pay at some point.

How can you forget that the hose is still connected to your car when you drive off?

    Alcoholic? Not playing on the drunken stepdad meme just thinking that’s an alcoholic thing to do.

      Possibly. But throwing that out there is ridiculously presumptuous because you have nothing upon which to base that.

          Dude just getting him to remember to close up his garage or truck was hard enough. Fortunately (for him) he spat his sunflower seed shells in there so it was too disgusting to want to rob. Like, he didn’t even spit them in a cup he just gobbed them on the floor. I don’t know how many times we’d roll up and find both his garage and his truck, all the doors wide open and they’d been that way for hours. First few dozen times it’d happened the neighbors were worried, but after that they just ignored it.eyi

            My mom can be like that sometimes, she’s always had bad memory lapses in the strangest of times. No drug or drink, and no sunflower seeds or nasty anti-burgular precautions, but once she called me in a nearly empty Walmart parking lot after close because she couldn’t find her car and thought someone had stolen it. She called me when I was about 5 minutes away saying she found it, it just wasn’t where she remembered parking it. In a nearly empty lot.

            And I misread FIL as stepdad. That’s a much better life outcome for you 😆
