God, I am stupid... I was going to the dealership to get a problem with my left rear brake fixed, and *I RAN OUT OF GAS*. Yep... me, who hasn't run out of gas in years and years, let the tank go empty. Now, that was my moment of stupidity. Here's a better one...

I call up AAA to get them to bring me some gas. I am told that it will be less than 30 minutes until a driver from Capitol Towing arrives with the gas... after 40 minutes, I call back to find out what is going on. Then I am told that the dispatcher has just assigned it to a driver, and it will be 10-15 more minutes until he gets there. 25 minutes later, he arrives. He does the paperwork, has me sign it, and goes to get the gas. Except that ALL 3 OF HIS GAS CANS ARE EMPTY! He gets in his truck, talks to who I assume is his dispatcher, and then drives his truck past my Jeep and pulls in to tow my Jeep. I asked him what was going on, and he told me "Somebody stole all my gas". From a locked storage area on his tow truck. Riiigggghhhhht. Point-Blank, he forgot to check out his rig when he left the towing yard... Then he says he will take me to a gas station. Not the NEAREST gas station. No. He has to take me to another one, 7 miles down the road. The one that HE wants to go to. I suggest that he could go less than a mile and get the gas and come back. Nope. Not an option. So, I end up being towed to an AM/PM station farther away than I need to be. Finally, I get him to dump 5 gallons of gas in, and I am on my way to another gas station (This one was NOT safe, IMHO)...
