This is a VERY old Dilemma, but just today on my way to the Donut shop I see this guy on the off ramp to the freeway with a BIG red can - yep he had run out of gas. Go back 22 years and I ran out of gas on the freeway, on my way to work at 6:00 in the morning. I was driving my husband's van, for the first time (as he was taking my car in for maintenance that day). It was so early it was still dark, the van sputtered and I barely got it to the side of the road...where I parked it and then saw the gas gauge was below the "E" for empty. What do I do? I was grateful he was taking my car for maintenance. I was afraid being stranded on the freeway in the dark. I was angry because I was afraid. I knew the next on ramp was a ways ahead, so I get out and start walking, in my white pants and green and white top. We ladies always remember what we are wearing in good times and in bad. After tromping through the weeds and brush on the side of the road headed towards the off ramp, I see an SUV type vehicle pull over and I expect is to offer me a ride. Horror stories go through my head, as well as thankfulness. A mess of emotions - what to do as I walk towards the vehicle? I have 5-10 seconds to think.
