Worst way of spending 80$?

[Jeneki]

So I'm in a big hurry, but need to stop for gas. Prepay $20, go back to the car, and drive off without putting the gas in.

RAAAAAAAAGE!

I must admit...that's pretty darned high up there to me. I've never done it, but I'm surprised that I haven't! It's probably because I do all gas purchases on cards these days.

Once I locked myself out of my car while it was still running. Fuck's sake.

That happened to me too.

Me too. Started the car to warm up (last winter) while I was scraping the ice off the windows. A short-circuit activated the power locks. No keys, no money, no phone, no friends nearby. Did not cost me a dime, except the gas for the time the car was running.

I've nearly done that myself. Scraping ice is a good time to remember "where the hell are the keys." Usually I don't do anything unless I feel the keys in my hand, but that can be a moment for forgetfulness.

As a locksmith myself, I can guaran-stinking-tee you that that isn't the worst way to spend $80. BTW: what time of day was it when they performed their work, and what part of the country are you located in?

I'm in Canada, and this happened around 8:00 pm (outside their business hours). Looks like it could have costed me more, judging from what I've seen browsing sites on the subject.

Here's mine:

I fell of my bicycle in November '08. I don't know if a car hit me or if I slipped on some ice, I have no recollection of the actual event. I busted my face a bit, including an inch long cut next to my left eye. I went to the first aid unit at the local hospital. The (male) doctor there put some glue on it and wished me well. Two months after it looked like this. Apparently, he hadn't really cleaned the wound at all before applying the glue which left a ton of shit under the scar. I went back there, and naturally asked what the deal was. Their answer was that sometimes these things happen and since it doesn't look that bad, I can't get any monetary compensation for their mishap. WTF, I look like fucking football player

I got surgery a year later on my own dime (more than $80, I can assure you)
