Having an Off Day

I am sure we all have those days where something is off. For me, it has been my coordination. I have no idea why. I could also add my attentiveness today. I have been spilling and knocking things over today.

So far:

1. over-filled gas tank by a lot (didn't notice it was spilling). My whole gas cover area was flooded with gas.

2. Went through the car wash because so much gas leaked onto the side of the car.

3. Left sunroof cracked open, then closed quickly after mist got in.

4. Thought I wasn't aligned perfectly in the car wash so I drove forward a little bit. That set off an alarm in the car wash and the whole cycle stopped with suds all over my car. Had to park and go into gas station with suds all over my car.

5. Just over filled my coffee with half n half at sbux and spilled all over the toppings counter....

I am typing on my laptop at sbux and am keeping my coffee far away!


Literally just dripped coffee onto my keyboard. No Joke.... FML

Anybody feeling the same way or having the same experience?

That sounds good. Sounds better than reading a thread tomorrow about how you slipped the wheel and totaled your car. Yeah, go home and sleep man.

LOL how does one overfill the gas tank? Does the pump not shut off? And you took your car to a automated car was...you deserve to be shunned.

If you pull out the trigger little by little you can fill up to valve behind the gas door.

Get some sleep dude. That stuff only happens to me when I don't sleep for a long ass time or am really tired.

I am fking anal about closing my windows after I leave my car. I'll literally double and triple check sometimes to make sure they are closed. My worst nightmare is for it to rain and my windows/sunroof are open.

Well, it is my fault. I read a "maximizing gas tips" article and it said that the slower you fill your tank, the more gas stays in your tank (doesn't escape as vapor). I've been trying it out, though I am probably saving 1/2 a cent, but yeah I was pumping so slow it didn't shut off.

Yes, brushless. Except for the wheel brush scrubber things. They have it at the ampm/arco gas stations.
