I'm an idiot... (karma?)

So I just go to get gas a minute ago. There are a few pumps open, but one of the open ones is on the other side of a very nice looking woman getting gas. Hmm...which one should I choose? :D So I pull up opposite her, get out, there are a couple little smiles going back and forth, a few coy glances while I do my credit card, select the octane and remove the nozzle. As I turn toward the car to pump the gas, she's still smiling at me. I finally break the look and go to open the filler door and I'm trying to put gas in on the wrong side of the car! Oh crap! So I have to put the nozzle back, get back in the car, turn it around, etc. She's now started to laugh, and I feel like a total idiot! I mean, I've only had this car for three years-you would think I'd know which side the filler door is on. So by the time I got turned around and all she was leaving. Ugh.



Oh well. Today is my one-year anniversary with my girlfriend, so I guess that's a lesson that I should stick with her since I'm not real *smooth* with the ladies! :wall
 
Haha I do not know how many times I have done that so do not feel bad. I drive around Hondas all day, gassing them up, and their fuel door is on the left. On my Mustang it's on the right, so I always pull up on the wrong side. It is pretty embarassing and sometimes I just leave and go to another station lol.



Never had a hot chic see me though, that would suck pretty bad.
 
Here's how I'd look at it- the woman might've assumed that you were distracted by her beauty and been flattered. When I do stuff like this I try to do something self-deprecating (like knocking my knuckles against the side of my head) while looking at her and smiling.



I once botched up filling out some paperwork because I was distracted by the attractive young woman involved (it's OK, my wife knows and likes her and understands). I finally just told her that I felt like an idiot but "you are one pleasantly distracting presence, I usually do this right the first time". She laughed, took it as a compliment, and we've always got along great. My wife found the whole thing rather amusing and I suspect they've laughed about it together.
 
The one thing I liked about my old Camaro was the filler spout was in the middle of the rear so I did not have to think so hard when going to fill up. LMAO
 
:lol



That would suck bigtime. Either she thought you were an idiot, or was flattered that she was attractively distracting enough that you forgot which side your fuel door is on.
 
I am rollin' LMAO! That was a good oppurtunity to come back with a line to recover. Oh well, you said yourself its your anniversary.
