Your 31 year old boyfriend is acting worse than a 13 year old kid. Just saying.

Good job owning up to your mistake. Shit happens and you made it right.

Replacing a break-away hose take a few seconds, and I would assume gas station employees are trained in how to do it. I'm guessing you were a clearly stoned person so they saw an opportunity to make $80.

Comments act like there aren’t people that have done this completely sober. OP probably shouldn’t have been driving but this isn’t something that happened only because of THC. As stated, this happens at gas stations all the time.

Not a FU, I got mistaken for a 14-16 year old a few times while visiting Italy.. I was a 28 year old metalworker at the time lol

I took it as a compliment haha

As a fellow Minnesotan, I've never left my car unattended while filling up. -30f or not.

So it's become so common that the manufacturers have to dumbass-proof them? Awesome 🤣

maybe you can delete your own save and start from beginning with him

My wife was the general manager of a gas station for 11 years. Not once, did they ever require payment for when this happened. You got fucking robbed my dude. It's a quick disconnect system meant for this exact reason and doesn't require payment to fix . . . .

It's not? For a casual user, it should clear in 14 days. For a heavy user that can be up to three months that it's detectable in blood.

There's a reason there's a legal limit.

You're definitely not the asshole.

Your BF is the asshole here for flying off the handle over a game. You handled it the right way and told him the truth.

If this happened to me, I wouldn't be annoyed with my partner because shit like this happens.

This, 100%. If being high hadn't been relevant to the FU, then you wouldn't have included it in the story. It's good that you owned your mistake, but by doing the right thing and staying in your car, you would've avoided it altogether.

At my station we charge people $550 for driving away with the nozzle. I think you got lucky

You making the rest of us stoners look bad.

...and no lessons were learned that day and OP continued his life as a shitheel

Good gravy, listen to your damn boyfriend instead of thinking you know better what he wants than he does. You bringing it up constantly is just reopening the wound for him and of course he’s getting mad again. Give him time to mourn the time he’s wasted on the game before he realizes the time he’s really wasted has been in this relationship.

As someone who currently has Bali belly, this sounds accurate.

That makes it even more fucked up.

I live in Western Canada and pump gas regularly at -30 - -40 degrees Celsius and I’ve actually never once in my life sat in my car when fuelling up or seen anyone do that in my life! You just curse the sky, pace a bit and try to leave your body for the 5 mins it takes.

This sounds like Australia. We don’t do fancy banking systems over here.

Then drop it. Sometimes bringing it up, even if you really are sorry isn't the correct way to handle the situation. He may simply not want to think about it.

It's best to stay near the pump when dispensing gas or diesel instead of getting back into the car. It doesn't matter if you take a minute to clean the windshield, just stay out there and pay attention to what's going on with the pump. This is also a good time to walk around the car and look at the tires to spot any obvious problems. You will still be able to hear the click as the pumping stops, and that's your cue to remove the nozzle and return it to its dock on the pump. Close the gas filler on the car, then grab your receipt. If you must go in to the store to pay, lock the car first with your fob. Routines like this may sound a little OCD, but what you are doing is training your brain to run a program that covers all the bases so that you don't have to think anything through every time. Getting back into the car while the pump runs opens you up to a break in the routine where you fiddle with the radio or look at your phone, making errors more likely as your brain is not concentrating on the job at hand.

30 year olds arguing about pokemon. 12 year old me is disappoint.

I hope I don't sound like an old man now (because I'm not). But if I have learned anything from my life until now it is: own up to your mistakes.

You might get away with lying but this just lowers the threshold of your next "mistake" until the bar is so low, you go to far and fuck everything up. Tell your friends parents you are sorry, offer to pay for cleaning, and accept any punishment from your own parents.

You got ripped off 😆 I did the same with nothing in my system so don't feel bad. I went in and told them and they just said, ok we'll get it fixed. Didn't charge me anything.
