Beast Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Just did it Friday. Have a 2022 GMC Diesel....left work, pissed as hell at my boss, went to the pumps and pumped about 5 gallons of unleaded in it. Now, I've never had a diesel before and my mind was murderous at the time (even moreso after my blunder). Got my truck back today and am 650 lighter in the wallet. Ugh. I'm an idiot. But that won't happen again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that won't happen again. Well, you’ll just have to keep finding new ways to prove it! This is actually quite challenging, with so many options to consider. I’ll need some time to consider, but I seriously doubt my top entries will be published here. 🤷♂️ When my son was in high school some jerk put sugar in the gas tank of his (new) first car. The car died as he was getting on the highway and things could have gotten seriously ugly. Insurance covered replacing everything, and we still traded it in before too long. That’s a big deal! Sorry for your oops and hope for no lasting repercussions. I totally understand how easily that could happen. .

ExiledInIllinois Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Yeah... You went the wrong way, putting diesel in a gasoline motor the better of the two. Did you start it? Probably shouldn't have. Immediately get it towed. Anyway... Isn't a diesel pump wider? Probably should have seen there is extra room. You'd think since going the direction you went, more dangerous for the motor... They'd make the diesel pump smaller... BUT I guess more gasoline vehicles and those people would be screwing up more. Thankfully it was ONLY $650. When wife drove through flood with new BMW it was $1500. Thankfully the thing didn't hydrolock... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mind was elsewhere and I have spent my life pumping unleaded until the past two months. Gr8! You did well and probably why it only cost $650. You run it, could have been in 1,000s! Basically they dropped tank and drained it... Good that it didn't get pulled through system. That's the bad direction to go. Diesel in petrol now, doesn't do much harm... A guy at work put diesel in the petrol John Deere Gator... All we had to do was drain tank and clean lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristocrat Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 A buddy of mine in high school got a brand new car from his dad. He had no idea you had to change the oil in the car. So we were driving up to a tournament in Canada and the engine starts knocking and we pull over. I pop the hood and i'm like this thing is like a year old what have you been doing to this thing? He'd put like 30k miles on it in a year cause he drove everywhere. I jokingly asked him when the last time he changed the oil was and he's like what do you mean? thing was totalled.

I was on the fence about sharing, but then figured ***** it, I was 17y/o and was almost 27 years ago.... Anyways, here goes....as I said I was 17 y/o, was with my lil g/f and was too risky to get it on b/c her parents were there. So it was constant "nonchalantly" feeling each other up the whole time. So after some time I ended up getting my 1st case of the "blue ball". OMG it hurt so bad, anyways now comes the dumb part...for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to rub Icy Hot upon my balls. Burn was insanely intense and nothing made it better. Had to wait it out. Even sat in the tub with cool water and nothing. Anyways, my brother still to this day sometimes will bring that up and gives me hell.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US Egg Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 (edited) Had to blow up and ribbon tie over a hundred balloons using a helium tank with a quick fill rubber nozzle, for a function. Got it done and set up as center pieces for tables. Families start arriving. Thought I’d make the kids laugh doing a helium voice…. …..except, I didn’t try to use a balloon, I attempted to use the helium tank out of sight, thinking it last longer in my lungs. I thought I blew a hole through my lung. Took awhile to weather the pain and regroup, it hurt for weeks.

Logic Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I have two, which both occurred on a cross-country road trip I took with my best friend at age 18. 1) After several hours driving through hot, desolate Nevada, we saw a body of water off in the distance in the middle of the desert. We parked our truck and ran out to it in bare feet. As we stood on the large rocks on the water's edge, I looked down and noticed an extensive network of spider webs running between all the rocks. I picked up a stick and poked/shook a web, which caused a bunch of huge black widows -- identifiable by the telltale red hourglass shape on the abdomen -- to scurry out all around us. We were standing barefoot in a massive colony of black widows. We proceeded to bat dragonflies out of the air with the stick and put them in the webs so we could see the spiders feed, which we did, and which was admittedly an awesome sight. In retrospect, it was really stupid. While black widow bites are rarely fatal, they sure don't feel nice, and we were hours away from any kind of medical help. 2) On the California coast, somewhere near Carmel, we came upon a large group of wild elephant seals sleeping in a pile on the beach. We got out our guitars and sidled up about five feet from them and proceeded to smoke a joint and play a bunch of songs next to them. After a while, we got up the courage to walk up to the pile and touch the sleeping seals. Elephant seals are not cute, fuzzy little things, mind you. They're massive and, as I later learned on Discovery Channel, they're pretty damn dangerous. I distinctly remember my friend Dan laying his head on the chest of a sleeping seal, and I watched the seal's eye open and the creature lunge at my friend and try to bite him. He ducked out of the way and we ran like hell as this massive thing came loping after us. Yes, it was really stupid on our part, and yes, I regret what in retrospect was harassment of animals in their natural habitat. We were 18. We were dumb as hell. I have no defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was driving from NY to SC (or maybe NC) overnight after working all day. Woke up somewhere in Virgina to the sound of gravel on the side of the road. Luckily I didn't hit anything and was able to get back on the road quickly. Decided then to stop at every rest area for the remainder of the trip, even if I did not feel tired, just for a break.
