Dumb

So last night, driving back to LA… the gas light came on. I was tired and thought, “Eh, I’ll just keep going — I’m almost home.”

BIG mistake.

Four miles from my house — FOUR — I ran out of gas on the side of the freeway. At 12:15 AM.

Called AAA. Estimated wait: 41 minutes. Fine. I sat there half falling asleep as cars zoomed past, gently rocking my car like a sad boat on the shoulder.

Then the wait time jumped to 141 minutes. 😳

Called AAA back — they said they’d reach out to the tow company. I must’ve passed out because the next thing I knew, the phone rang: "30 more minutes." Of course, by then my phone battery was dying too.

In the end? I finally got home two hours later… after running out of gas just 4 miles from my house.

So. Stupid. Never again.
