The Great Gas Tank Betrayal! ⛽
Well, well, well… looks like our designated driver found herself in quite the pickle! After a day of fun at the theme park, the car swap seemed like a harmless solution to accommodate the extra passenger. But oh, how quickly things can turn sour! The next day, accusations were flying left and right about who should’ve filled up the tank. “It’s a known fact,” they said. “You’re ungrateful,” they claimed. Our poor driver was left scratching her head, wondering if she was really the a-hole in this situation. Let’s see what the internet has to say about this gas tank fiasco!
