I was dangerously low on gas and in gridlocked traffic. Rather than risk dying in traffic, I pulled over into a parking lot a couple of blocks away from the gas station, walked over, bought a plastic gas can, filled it, and walked back. I spent 15 unsuccessful minutes trying to get any of the gas into the tank before giving up and driving anxiously to the gas station. I seriously thought I was struggling to be a functional human being. I'd buy a heavy duty water spout.
