Within the first few months of getting my license, I ran out of gas 6 times...of course that was almost 6 years ago...but since then I have run out guarenteed over 20 times, and three times in just the last 6 months! The last time was the absolute worse!! I was on my way to work, and it was 22 degrees outside...I, being late and irresponcible ran out the door with just a long sleeve t-shirt on...no coat. HUGE MISTAKE!!! I got about 3 miles from my house and ran out of gas on the side of the interstate. For those of you that have never noticed before...there are 5 ft barbed wire fences on either side of the interstate. And not just regular, let's keep the cows in the pasture fences...these had some weird fencing between the barbed wire, so you couldn't climb through it. So...I'm there with no heater in my car, no cell phone, and no coat...unable to go anywhere! And, worst of all...no radio to keep me company cause my battery was dead. After about 30 minutes of sitting there wondering why I did this again...my car started to get really cold. So, I start trying to make a decision. #1. Do I walk about 2 miles in the freezing cold weather on the side of the interstate until the barbed wire fence ends? or #2. Do I revert back to my redneck roots and jump the fence bearing blood, cuts and all? After 5 hours of sitting in my car, YES...5 FLIPIN' HOURS!!! crying and freezing my you know what off, I finally decide that I've GOT TO GET OUT OF THE CAR!!! Notice...not one freakin' person stopped to help me. I even counted 5 freakin' cops pass...and never even glanced at me. Oh, I was pissed! So, I start walking and about 400 yards away I found a place where I could climb through the fence. I ran over to Buffalo Wild Wings, shaking to death, and crying. I asked to use the phone and Matt was working about 2 hours away so he couldn't come get me...so I finally after about 30 more minutes of sitting there crying, I got ahold of my momma. She came and got me and took me to her house. The rest of the day I was shaking...I was what you call "frozen to the bone". It sucked!!!
