Pumping Someones Gas .....

The temps. went below zero last night, so needless to say it was very chilly this morning when I took Lucy to school.

I went to the gas station for some milk. There was a girl and a man behind the counter and a few other people in the gas station. I said to the girl, 'Crikes its cold this morning'. The guy behind the counter asked if I wanted him to pump my gas, to which I replied 'no thanks, I'm not getting gas today - but thanks for the offer' (:rolleyes: seriously people, I need to be a little faster off the starting line ). So everyone in the gas station is now laughing at me - and all the women are requesting that he pumps their gas too :yh_drool

Oh well at least people usually laugh when I see them - even if it is at my expense :-5

So, there I go rattling on again! Here's the question, what sayings do you know that has 'other' meanings?

I will make a pocket book full of them and consult before replying in future :)

I have come across this moving from Canada to Ireland. I had to learn fast that I needed to stop offering people 'a ride'.
