    I fly a lot, I just visited my 72nd country, which was Lithuania. I have found that overseas the airport security is far superior and more professional

    Business, pleasure, or a combination?

    I've always wondered how much gas is spilled at the pump every year.

    If you could collect it you would never have to pay for gas again

    I saw a lady at 7-11 the other day start filling her SUV and then went in the store. The pump malfunctioned and didn't shut off when it was full. I'd say at least 5 gallons hit the Concrete before I was able to get over there and pull the handle.

    I was at shell one night jammed a nickel in the handle bc the lock was broken. Was looking around inside the store like 10+ mins when I hear the clerk gasping. I look outside the entire parking lot had gas on it somewhere it seemed. About 2 inches deep around my car. Fire Dept was driving up as I was taking off my gas covered shoes and was driving away. Forgot how many gallons I bought but it was a good bit.

    I paid for $50 of gas with a Visa inside a Circle K. When it was full at $44 I went back inside to get my $6 back. The clerk didn't know how to handle it and ended up calling her supervisor, then told my I had been refunded. When I looked at my online bank statement I had been refunded the whole $50

    Buddy of mine went to Wendy's the other day for that 4 for $4 thing. The chick says they don't have any fries. He said well can I substitute something else like some nuggets. She said I don't think that's how this works. You can only get 3 for $4 since we are out. Lol

    I'm surprised he could understand her.
