15-09-2011 9:39pm#1My wife was giving me a lift yesterday after I left my car in the garage for repairs.
On the way she realized that yellow light (low fuel) came on.
She said she will fill in after work.
Unfortunately she finished work yesterday after 10pm when petrol station is closed so she thought she will fill in today morning.
As as it happens - she forgot.
I only realized now. And she is again at work. I gave her a ring to ask if she filled in, but she says she didn't.
So reassuming, she is at work 20km from our home. She has already done about 70km since the light came in, so she will be lucky if she makes it home.
Even if she does, she says she has to be at work tomorrow at 7am, which I told her already is impossible, as petrol station is opened only from 7:30, so she can't be at work before 8.
She told it's very important day at work and she really has to be there on time.
Nearest open petrol station is 20km away from out home, and 40km away from her work, and it's anyway open only until 11 so it's not any good.
I just told her good luck and started laughing.
That made my day

You regularly dismiss my advice on joining the AA. But guess, what? The AA would tow your wife to the nearest (open) petrol station no matter what time of the day or night.
I better not tell your wife I told you so or she'll divorce you :pac:
It shouldn't be a problem today.
I'm 99% certain she will make it home.
It's just tomorrow, when she won't be able to get to work at 7, as petrol station only opens at 7:30 or even 8 (I can't remember exactly).
AA wouldn't be any help with it.
So I'll keep on dismissing your advice on joining AA
ps - I always thought that AA means "Anonymous alcoholics"...0 -
What rain ? I just looked out the window, and don't see any rain.

My thoughts exactly. I've always lived in or very near a big city all my life
Me either.
I spend over 25 years of my life in the big city.
Only few years back I moved to Ireland and I found out what does it mean to live in the middle of nowhere in rural Ireland.
Normally we don't. But as I said in the beginning, my wife just forgot to fill up the car.and I don't have a clue what it is like to live in the middle of nowhere. But really, WTF do you even risk running out of fuel when you know that if you do, you'll be in trouble.And why do you keep ignoring simple back up solutions like having a jerrycan of petrol in the boot or joining the AA?
I usually keep a 5 litre can of petrol in my shed just in case. Unfortunately it was used recently and I didn't have time to fill it in. Just coincidence.
And now after all you've written, and all the pressure built around it, it would be a shame for me to join the AA.
I'll be resistant and keep away from themI would be worried if I were you.
I found out what was the story by now.
There is a small pub 8 miles away from her work (the other way than our home) where they do sell petrol (if they actually have it - but today they did)
I completely forgot about it, as I haven't been there for ages.
Fair play to her.0 -
