Is there anything more embarrassing than your car stalling in the turn lane and not being able to get it started. People honking and glaring at you when they finally figure out that they should go around.
So I'm sure you've guessed that's what happened to me on the way back to work from Family lunch at Elisa & Frankie's school.
But that's not the most embarrassing part. The most embarrassing part is that my car stalled because I ran out of gas. What a totally bonehead thing to do. I haven't run out of gas in like 20 years (on the way to Monterrey with Bridgette and Tim to the Honorary Dyke contest). The lucky thing was that just the other side of the intersection was a gas station. I called work and one of the new employees (a big strong guy recently back from Iraq) came and saved me and pushed my car over to the gas station. He promised not to tell everyone at work. I would never ever live it down if they all found out. =)
