Hungover like a champ today went to go gas up the boat, pulling a way from the station some dude's waving me down in a frenzy.... yep, you guessed it, I still had the gas hose in the boat!!!!! :shakehead::shakehead::shakehead:

Not my best moment... and it's gonna cost me $150 or so for them to fix it!
 
I did that with my girlfriends Toyota in the early 80's. Pulled the whole pump about 1 or 2 feet. Can't remember if it actually came off the island. Bent the neck of the gas tank on the car.
Back then it was not only acceptable to drive wasted I think it was kind of encouraged. At least that's how I remember it.
Gas station attendant didn't make a big deal or call the cops. Girlfriend on the other hand.........
Let's just say that after 5 or 6 years I didn't marry her so we broke up and I don't think her dad was too heartbroken.
 
Just last week I pulled into the builder supply store and there was a hose laying in the parking lot. Was complete up to the break-away link. I think it was a BP since it was green vinyl on the handle but the BP station is about a mile away!!
 
Awe heck, we've all done something that dumb... maybe. But over time, I think you'll get $150 out of that story. Plus it serves you right for being able to boat when my grass (and boat) has frost on it!!!

I've seen that happen... Bear with me here. The first time was at a highway gas station between brussels and paris. My bro-in law had some bad mussels (yes in brussels) and was sick as a dog. His very understanding wife (ha ha ha) thought we had too much crazy strong beer and was pissed at him. I guess theft is a big deal there so inside the travel plaza the person flow is one-way. You go in one glass sliding door and have to exit out of the other. You can not back out of the in door. The bathroom flow in this particular place was similar. So Jay goes in the sliding door and has to puke (again) he tries to enter the bathroom exit and gets stuck, then he retreats towards the in-door and (you guessed it) - he pukes all over himself and the glass door. At the same time some tool pulls away in his fancy converatble BMW 3 series and gas sprays EVERYWHERE. I was amazed they didn't have some type of automatic shut off.

It was a pretty funny scene, obviously funnier if you could see it - and his wife's face... Jay retreated and finished puking and then peed next to the car in plain view. In retrospect I'd pay $150 to see that scene again!
 
If you had on of those prehistoric mota's like mine it would of never happen! You need to stow the gas line to pour in your damn oil at 32/1.

If you want to talk STUPID BOATING STORIES I can and will beat anyone hands down with any of the multiple choices I have banked up thru the yrs!HotDaddy had it right when he said partying with me could get Dangerous! Again I'm not proud I'm just saying.

p.s. It takes a man to admit he F'd up.
 
No but I've seen it down right out in front of my house before! A boat sitting in 5 lanes of traffic.
Ever remember you Forgot your anchor and about 40 ft of line when you see it flying over your head while doing about 40 mph?(thats only the start of that story)

Remember, I said it takes a men to admit some things!
 
I can choke mine up to my dad, winch broke and off came the boat while pulling away from the campground. It was back in the mid 80's before I drove. I can say I, like 99% of the other boaters out there now use 2 straps on the rear, the winch, and a extra strap on the front of the boat!

I have forgot about the anchor but I was idleing away! I no longer drink while boating!!
 
Choking up to your dad doesn't count.But good for you on making that choice.Me,Thats the reason I boat.Honestly good for you.

Hey, you forgot the fourth B......Boobs.
 
well, since the hose came off where it was supposed to at the quick disconnect/dumb**** joint it only cost me $75!

better than I thought, but still sucked a bit. I'll pay more attention next time I'm hungover I guess!

Same applies to boats too.......the bigger the boat.....the more boobs you will have on it.....simple algebra my dear Watson.

I heard the more Boobs you have bouncing in a boat at one time, the more the boat tends to chine walk at high speed!!!! :D
