I'm hoping to make this a running post, as there seems to be many more things that I didn't know that I didn't know....heh heh....
So I'm driving the jeep, my sister's riding shotgun, the kids are in the back all ipodded up...
I need gas.
Since it's my mom's jeep, I say to my sister, 'look out the window and tell me if the gas cap is on your side'...
She gives me this 'huh' look and says, 'Are you serious?'
I'm, like, 'uh, yeah, I don't know what side the gas tank is on'....
She busts a gut laughing.....
I'm, like, 'what???!!'
She's, like, 'Oh no you just didddn't!!!'
"Didn't WHAT??!!'
By this point, she's laughing so hard she can't answer....I'm thinking it's not that funny, really...
She says, 'look at your gas gauge'... I tell her, 'I did, that's why we're pulling into the gas station, we need gas!' (who's on first.....)
She looks at me and through her laughter says, 'how did you figure out where the tank was normally?'
To which I say, 'Well, I pull the gas cap flipper, which pops the cap, I look out the side windows and that's how I tell which side the tank is on'....
Okay - by this time, she's laughing so hard she's crying....
What??!!!
Once she got her breath back, she says, 'look at your gas gauge, look at the little arrow by the picture of the gas pump....see that??? The arrow points to the side that the gas tank is on...'
The heavens opened, the angels sang, it was like an epiphany....
'Wow!!! That is SO cool....I had no idea!'...to which she bursts out laughing again....
She looked at me like I had two heads....and of course, once she told JB, well it started all over again....
LOL
Seriously, how many people actually know that???!!! I'd be curious to know....

Ok so now I don't feel so bad about not knowing this as well... Carl had to show me on the Jeep but when I got the car not thinking I actually took note on what side of the gas tanks was when I bought it... and then only after going to the gas station did I realize that all cars don't have the gas tank on the same side... meaning the jeep and the car opposite sides... ohhh well we do learn eventually ... he he
I will only say... YOU ARE MY DAUGHTER..and you will have sum of my moments.. Its all good .xx00mom
I did know, but only because I studied my gauges on my car. As a late bloomer to the "driving world" at 35, I was very thorough. :)
ROTFLMAO!!!
Hilarious! But fellow blogger, I did not know either. I too am a "gas cap flipper". And my brother probably knows that random piece of trivia and would never let me live it down either.
OK...do you want a bigger laugh? I just ran outside to see since my light went on...I am looking at the light and it doesn't have an arrow...only for Sarah to say..Momma...right there...look an arrow..lol...I had NO IDEA...lol..thanks for the knowledge...I normally stick my head out like an idiot also..mwahahahhahah Peeing myself laughing also
Thanks Tigpan!...it's funny cause I've been asking everyone I work with and they thought I was 'losing it'...they had no idea either! LOL
