Worst...Morning...Ever

So this morning has sucked miserably, and its only 7:30 am as I am beginning to write this... 
 
First off, I overslept.  Not just 10 or 15 minutes, but a whole hour!!!  So once I awoke, I flew through the shower, threw some cloths on, and lastly hastily applied makeup.  I ran out the door and turned on my car and noticed...Shit...I don't have any gas.  Certainly not enough to get me the 25 miles to work this morning.  So I go to the gas station, swipe my card and begin fueling.  As the gas is pumping, I glance at the freeway.  It looks nice and smooth.  Thank Jebus for Friday light.  I might actually only make it in 20 minutes late.  Thats when I just so happened to look at the amount of gas that was pumping into my care.  As it approached the 9 gallon mark, I was wondering why it wasn't stopping.  It should have stopped by now.  Thats when I heard it and smelled it.  The damn pump didn't stop pumping when it was supposed to.  Gas was squirting out of my gas tank and all over the side of my car and onto the ground, and onto my tires.  I grabbed the pump and shut it off, but not before I stepped into the growing puddle of Gasoline at my feet.  Now my damn shoes (my favorite shoes) smell like gasoline and that pisses me off.  I didn't have time to clean up the gas that was on the side of my car as I was already super late for work, so I got in the car and prayed the entire way that the gas that was on the tire would not ignite from the heat of rubber on asphalt as I drove into work.  Twice I swear I smelled smoke as I was driving.  I have never been this scared in my entire life.  Never has the fear of my own car catching fire been so real.  Thankfully I made it into work. 
 
I will be spending my lunch break at a car wash today.  Lucky me.  But I NEED to get that gas off my car.  I only hope that everything will be ok.  Thaks for reading about my issues.

Gas evaporates pretty quick, a spill on your car would be gone in an hour.

@The_Laughing_Man: Ya, but I can't afford a good lawyer sadly.  I can barely afford to put said gasoline in my car... 
 
@Insectecutor: But the smell will still be there, and I will still be fearful.

If you can get proof the pump is not maintained and its a sure case. You can sue for lawyer fees well.

That sucks, though it would've been awesome if you were flying into the parking lot driving a fireball.  Would've shown your dedication to your job :).

@ElegantRuby: Well that's something new. I don't drive. I always imagined it to be a thinner variant of oil.
 
Better get them in the wash ASAP then, assuming that will help. I'm guessing it might not though.

Even better: 
 
She's parked her car in the parking lot and she's 30 minutes late. She begins walking towards her office building where she can just make out her boss in front of the door, arms crossed, tapping his foot, a stern look on his face. Elegant Ruby strides closer. Just as her boss opens her mouth to lecture her on the importance of punctuality, her car fucking EXPLODES into a fiery ball of heat and light. Everything goes into slow motion, she continues to walk forward, never looking back, never flinching, the inferno behind her steadily growing in size. Elegant Ruby walks past the stunned man, unable to speak, unable to move.  
 
Then she has sushi for lunch which she doesn't have to pay for.

Ah, that sucks. I probably come off as an asshole by saying this, but my morning was beautiful. The sun was shining and I had plenty of time to waste before I had to get going so I made a good cup of coffe and watched cartoons while I eat breakfast. Haven't had a good morning like that in a looong time though. 
 
Hope the your car issues gets straighten out, and your SHOES too!

That's hilarious, and something straight out of a comic.  I miss owning a car and driving to work, and the good old fun it has.  
 
This is also why I take public transportation.  if some idiot suicides on the tracks, like they did every fucking day in Tokyo, they gave us slips to give to our company.
