An update on gas: We still have a shortage!!!!!! UGHHHH!!!! So annoying! And guess what? They lifted this ban & are now allowing "dirtier" gas to get here to supply the demand. Are you kidding me? I'd rather have no gas than put dirty gas in my car! Who's gonna pay my mechanic if it breaks down? Pleaseee. There's actually been 2 cases where 2 women put gas in their car & it broke down as soon as they pulled out of the gas station. Same station. Same day. 6 hours apart. I don't think it was his fault because the warning system they have didn't go off for dirty gas but the owner said that he'd pay for their car repair anyway. But can you imagine how many people got gas inbetween the 6 hours? I wonder how many more people are gonna break down.
Well at least those people found some gas, dirty or not. Last night me & Actor drove around on E for almost 2 freaking hours & didn't find ANY. Can you believe it?! 2 hours! We drove down every single street & passed at least 40 gas stations & there weren't any gas anywhere! We literally drove in all directions from our house covering at least a 4-5 mile radius to no avail. I kid you not! I don't even know how our tank held on for so long.
It was horrible because Actor was supposed to go to his best friend's performance at 10:30pm & he couldn't go because we couldn't find any gas. His friend came back in town for only a week or so & is leaving for Cali on Tuesday so it was a really really bad look. He really wanted to go.
It got so bad to the point where we were both emotionally & physically exhausted from trying to find gas. I was developing a massive headache on top of my neck ache, almost-sprained ankle & came-out-of-nowhere-never-had-it-before-sinus problems. So we went home... We figured we should save the drops of gas that we had left to get some in the morning before work.
Around 2am he heard word from our friend Buckets that there was gas so we went to the QT down the street & got some. No lines. Whoo hoo! I guess that's what we're gonna do from now on: get gas in the middle of the night to avoid the traffic & crazy people. The way that it's going right now I wouldn't be a bit surprised if people were arrested for fighting over gas.
Well, that actually did happen. lol. My coworker said that this guy was cursing at & harassing her at the pump because she was supposedly taking too long. She was like "Uhh, I can't make the gas pump any faster. It's taking forever cuz there's 50 people here getting gas at the same time." I guess he kept at it & a police officer came over & told him to back away from her car. She left but saw him getting arrested a few moments later. lol! Sit yo big ass down! Won't have to worry about getting gas cuz you won't be driving for a minute buddy. lol!
Arrested over gas. Can you believe it? My other coworker was around during the 1970s' gas shortage where he said it was on the news that people actually got into fights over the pump. In one situation a guy actually shot (and maybe killed?) a honeymooning couple. That's just crazyyyyy.
Well, that's all the gas talk that I can handle for the day. Hopefully I won't have any more bad stories but they're not expecting things to get back to normal for a couple of weeks so...
Stay tuned!
