Why England lost its empire.

1. When I was in the military in Germany...

One of our favorite things was to watch some of the dumbass shit some of the servicemembers would do and imagine the Germans are wondering how the hell they lost the war.

2. OMG, not once, not twice, not thrice, but 4 freaking times.

And each time she checked to see what side the gas cap was on, like maybe it moved on her. Poor soul.

3. Something about doing the same thing over and over...

and expecting different results.

Hell, on my vehicle-and I assume most modern vehicles-there's a picture of a gas tank with an arrow on it that shows you what side to pull up to the pump on.



Oh, since this is a political forum, they lost their empire for the same reason we're losing ours. People got tired of the shit they did.

6. Your last sentence was the winner.

The video was hilarious BTW.

4. The gas tank on my car is on the passenger side

And I still occasionally forget, even though I've had the car since 2004.

5. Is she aware that there is a little arrow by the fuel gauge that tells you which side it's on?

Many people are unaware of this.

7. I didn't know that until 4 years ago

when I was sharing a rental car with a co-worker. I was complaining about forgetting to check for the gas cap before pulling into a gas station and she told me to look at the fuel gauge. It was like a light bulb coming on, I'd never noticed it before.

8. I watched this a couple times and showed it to my mechanic yesterday

totally cheered me up, because it is SOOOO something I would do......
