Out Of Gas Again and Other Misadventures (a true story):

Anthony6 Comments

Part 6 Brrrrup… Out of Gas? The Gage Lied!!

My car refused to restart as the tank was bone dry. This is where the story gets funny, I suggest we call Road Assistance and my wife denies it and says to me “look you can see the gas station it’s not that far away”, I realize in horror of her ideas for the situation.

On the side of the Interstate with cars zooming by at 70+ MPH, I was a little nervous to be pushing this car along the shoulder not to mention I weighed in about 340 lbs. (with an A1C of about 12) in those days and my wife was not in the best of shape either.

At her insistence we’d take turns pushing and steering the car for the two miles to the exit. I cannot imagine what motorists thought of as this portly man (Mua) breathing hard and coughing as he pushes this hulk down the interstate at about 1 mile per hour or so.

I’d get so tired I’d push the card as fast as I could and then just let it roll and walk up to it and do it again. This created the illusion that I was doing less work which of course was not true.

Tune in next time for the continuing saga of: Out of Gas, Again and Other Misadventures.

    • Yeah, that’s one of the few nice stories I have with my last marriage very narcissistic she was, but this is one of the OK stories that we have together have a couple others and the rest are more like horror stories.

      Did I craft it OK, was it too boring? Was it relevant?

      I know if I’m cut out to right short stories I have several, but I don’t know if they’re any good.

      I feel like I get really good feedback on my poetry.

      • I thought you crafted it just fine. It kept me interested and looking for the next part. 😉

        At least you have some nice memories with your ex. I don’t really think I do with either of mine. Except maybe when I very first met them, and they were still hiding behind their “I’m charming” fake mask. 🤷🏼‍♀️
