Sometimes My Wife Drives Me Crazy...

My car’s been low on gas for a while, and with prices creeping slowly up, I thought today would be a good time to fill up the ol’ tank. I had a pretty tight schedule today, so I didn’t get a chance to swing by the station until after work. Sadly, when I tried to fill up, I could put in only a penny or two at a time before the pump would click off; which got frustrating after a while, so less than two gallons later, I gave up and drove away. Oddly enough, as I left the station, I noticed that my gas gauge read full. So, I did what any man does when he doesn’t know what’s going on with his car. I called dad. He thought my situation odd, but had no clue what was going on either. Anyway, as I was driving home I called up the missus to let her know that I was done with work and headed her way. I informed her that Pearl (my car) was having issues with her gas tank; that it read full even though it had only a couple of gallons in it. At this point, my lovely wife pointed out that she’d filled up my tank for me. You see, when I came home for lunch, Melissa needed to run to the doctor’s so we switched cars. I took her car (which has Sarah’s car seat) and Sarah with me back to work, where Melissa met me to switch out cars. How was I to know that she’d filled up my car in the meantime? Well, that’s the news from me today.

How do you know she filled it up? By looking at the gas gauge, of course! I mean, that's what I do!

Wait...your wife drives you crazy because she helped you out and filled your car with gas for you? Maybe you should re-evaluate your situation.
