Continuing Down The Path To Senility…
If you recall a few days ago, I left the car running while getting haircuts. Well, the loss of my mind continues. Read on…
Okay, I needed gasoline for the car. I pulled into a gas station, got out and put in $10 worth of petrol…which is about 2.1 galllons these days. Anyway, I head to the next location and I get out and there is my gas tank door wide open. I know what you’re thinking…lots of people do this.
But I DON’T.
I can say with almost 100% certainty that I have NEVER forgot to close the gas tank door. Worse, the actual screw-on cap was still attached to said door and not even close to on the tank. I suppose I should consider myself lucky the cap didn’t fall off somewhere down the road.
So there’s that. But it gets better.
I was driving to work yesterday and needed to use the restroom. It happens. I’m human. So I pull into a QT because they usually have pretty clean restrooms. In my haste to get into the restroom, I simply ran in, locked and did my business. While sitting there, it occurred to me that I had been in this QT before and the restroom was in a different place. Weird. They must have remodeled.
No, they hadn’t. I was in the ladies room. Fortunately for me, it was a single restroom and not a stall setup, so no one would be coming in. I secretly darted out of there and headed to work.
I have got to get my head back in the game.

The QT story made me laugh out loud. I’ve gone into the men’s room before inadvertently. While there was a guy in the bathroom! (The doors were open so I couldn’t see the sign and I was in an unfamilar place.) This makes me feel a bit better about that mishap. (Poor guy I walked in on tho!)

I totally just did this the other day too! Forgot to put the gas cap on and close the door thing….and I have NEVER forgotten to do that before. Ever. Weird. You must be rubbing off on me. Stop it.

LMAO! Thanks, Patrick - that will set me for the long drive to Cinci this weekend and I’ll think of you every time we stop for gas/munchies
