1M facepalm moments

1M hall of shame moments.

Fuel station in the wee hours. Parked, opened the fuel tank, bank card yadda-yadda. At the end of the process: "Communication Failure". Hm, nothing wrong with my bank card, so I tried again: same result. Bloody monitor. Tried another bank card terminal at the same fuel station: to no avail. Apparently the bank card network was down for an hour or so (regular network maintenance), so no electronic payment possible. Okay, no fuel then. So I drove off. Accelerated and heard some sort of thud at the right hand rear side: okay, so that is the sound of the fuel filler cap dangling around against the open fuel tank flap/door whilst driving...

Probably a "communication failure" in my mind as, for once, the nozzle had been denied a go at the fuel tank...

Could have been worse... could have been the hose dangling with the nozzle still in the tank. Seen that before.
