I had to get gas to mow my lawn the other day.. forgot my wallet at home. But I had $3 in my center console

Walking into that gas station and saying $3 on pump 4” made me feel so damn poor

Back when I was like 21, me and a buddy were broke but wanted to go out. I called my cousin who owed me like $40 and he said he would meet us at Jacks in PA (we were living in Tigerland). My buddy's truck's gas gauge was broke, and he knew from the mileage he was close to empty. We ran out of gas coming down the MRB and literally coasted into the Chevron at the foot of the bridge. We scrounged around his truck and managed to find 25 cents. Not a quarter, but 25 cents in mixed changed. I made him go pay.
