During high school in the 80's I had a car that I had not yet realized was leaking gas slowly. Of course, I did run out of gas on my way home from work. Of course, I didn't have my wallet. I guess since it was the late 80's, instead of calling someone for help I just asked a stranger for $0.25 to use the phone. I went inside and prepaid $0.25 worth of gas - about 1/4 gallon at the time. The cashier didn't even flinch. I literally pumped it into a plastic bottle I found, walked to my car and gassed it up. I made it home and grabbed my wallet and decided to see if it had enough gas to make it to the gas station. It did. All better.
