I'm beginning to think perhaps I'm just not cut out for driving. Let me share with you a sequence of events...
Petrol Stations. They have previously been the source of sever embarrassment for me:
1) I have driven into the petrol pumps.
2) I have parked so far away from the pump that it wouldn't stretch far enough to reach the hole thing where the petrol goes in. Ended up practically straddling the pump trying to stretch it around.
3) I have got to the petrol station tried, for a good 15 minutes to open my petrol cap only to fail. I even attempted to prize it open with my bare hands which incidentally made my fingers bleed, in the end I gave up and drove home. It was later confirmed, by someone with a functional brain, that there is a) nothing wrong with my car, and b) that I actually need to unlock my petrol cap before attempting to open it.
4) Been so heavy handed with my petrol cap that it snapped right off in my hands.
5)Parked so close to the pump that after a huge struggle to get out of the car I couldn't for the life of me get back in. I mean I was SERIOUSLY close to the pump. It was embarrassing. People were waiting for my pump but I just couldn't squeeze in. So yes, I admit it, I climbed through my window whilst in a mini denim skirt. I laughed. The people waiting for the pump were laughing. And when I got home and shared this with my family, they not only laughed but also pointed out that I could have just gone through the passenger door.
So to conclude, those mini clips you find on you tube with people causing all sorts of chaos at petrol stations are real, and more than likely ME!

Brilliant. Just brilliant. This is why we love you and why you make the perfect godmother for Teddy. He needs to learn from a genuius like you ;o) xxx
Emmie, I havn't told you about me actually getting into the wrong car yet, i'll save that one for when I see you! x
I recommend buying cans of petrol and attempting to fill your car in a quiet spot. Unless your car takes diesel. Then you'll need diesel. You also need a funnel - don't try tipping it in without one. Oh hell just ring me when you need some and I'll pop over and sort you out.
