thank God for small favors

Ok so now I know what happens when your car runs out of gas - because it just happened to me. I was driving back from uni when my car suddenly started to slow down, and then shudder, and then it just stopped. And this was in the middle of Stirling Highway so I was just SHIT. I turned on my hazard lights and tried restarting the engine and all the weird lights on my dashboard came on which I didn't know the meanings of and then I started to panic a bit because I didn't know what to do and my phone batt was close to dying. Then out of nowhere the police came along with their lights flashing which freaked me out a bit but they were nice and one of them tried starting my car and said it was probably because my fuel tank was empty and OK before you go 'duh if there's no petrol in your car it's not gonna move' and judge me for being a woman driver, the fuel gauge was on the SECOND last empty bar not the last so I definitely wasn't expecting it to stop right now and it's exam time so there's no time to pump petrol so don't judge me. So anyway, I went to walk down to the petrol station to buy a can of petrol which cost a lot because the empty can itself is $12 (??) and poured it half into the fuel tank, half onto my hands and feet and whee!! the car started again.

So that was my breakdown on Sitrling Highway adventure

But while that was happening I was seriously thinking, thank God for so many things. First of all, thank God the printers in the Gat room weren't working because if they were I probably would have stayed there to print stuff and gone home much later when the police weren't in the area to help me not freak out so much. And thank GOD that tonight was the only night in like 2 weeks that I decided to go home early instead of at 4 am because I don't even know what I can do if I break down at 4 in the morning. On the other hand, thank God that it was midnight and Stirling Highway was kinda empty so I didn't have to stop in the middle of the road and get knocked down by hundreds of cars. Also, thank God that I only broke down about 1km away from the station and it was easy to walk there. And thank God for sending so many helpful people, seriously. The police stopped, and then one more guy stopped while I was thinking what to do and he gave me the RAC number (which was useless because they don't operate after 5pm = ??) and then a cyclist stopped to ask if I needed help and then ANOTHER driver stopped while I was pouring in the petrol. Thank you Perth people, for being so nice and helpful! If you stop to help in KL you get mugged so I don't think anyone would have stopped if I were back home. Also thank GOD THAT TOMORROW'S EXAM IS FCP AND NOT ID OR PHARM because if it were, I'd probably be dead right now from mentally breaking down and freaking out to death.

So yeah. my car broke down while I was driving alone in the middle of the night before an exam but there are so many ways it could have been much more catastrophic so thank God for watching over me. Now I gotta somehow wash the petrol off my feet. Lesson learned: never drive with no petrol and always keep baby wipes in your car.
