On a old country road where your neighbors may shoot you if you walk in their yard and everyone owns a dog or 5! So, in case this happens I will instruct you on how to survive if you should sole daringly attempt to walk the journey for gas... if you should run out of gas in the country....<br><br>1. Carry a huge walking stick in the back seat.<br><br>2. Carry a pouch of Mase and also a squirtgun of mase and walk with it as if you are carrying a loaded gun. I wouldn't suggest a real gun b/c you could have several false alarms and neighbors shoot back. <br><br>3. Put on black eye liner - and smear it. This will work if you are a guy or a girl b/c if someone stops to try to rape you... They may bypass you because you appear to look crazy. It also helps if you also act paranoid.<br><br>4. If you see Big Foot - don't run. Just stop drop and roll. <br><br>5. Be prepared at any moment for a barking dog to jump out at you. When this happens - hold up your squirt gun and aim. If you should get bit when this happens use your walking stick to get the dog off your arm...<br><br>6. If its Summer - bring bug repellent or you will never make the journey. <br><br>7. Pray - you are in for a very long, scary, dark, and uncomfortable walk.<br><br>8. Try your cell phone every few seconds until you get reception and call your closest buddy. But never quit walking - continue to walk.<br><br>9. If you think you are walking the wrong way and walking further into the woods - you may just want to cry and give up.. .. because it sucks running out of gas in the COUNTRY!!!!! Okay, the whole story changes if you happen to run out of gas in the country. On a old country road where your neighbors may shoot you if you walk in their yard and everyone owns a dog or 5!

1. Carry a huge walking stick in the back seat.

2. Carry a pouch of Mase and also a squirtgun of mase and walk with it as if you are carrying a loaded gun. I wouldn't suggest a real gun b/c you could have several false alarms and neighbors shoot back.

3. Put on black eye liner – and smear it. This will work if you are a guy or a girl b/c if someone stops to try to rape you… They may bypass you because you appear to look crazy. It also helps if you also act paranoid.

4. If you see Big Foot – don't run. Just stop drop and roll.

5. Be prepared at any moment for a barking dog to jump out at you. When this happens – hold up your squirt gun and aim. If you should get bit when this happens use your walking stick to get the dog off your arm…

I would be running on fumes and every time I would make a left turn, my Jeep would sputter and I'd have to pump the gas and coast 'til I was not turning anymore, then usually gun it because of the oncoming traffic. <br><br>I think being so poor you have to buy gas a gallon at a time is something everyone should experience. It teaches you lessons you might not learn otherwise and makes you a better person. I've come deadly close to running out of gas so many times.

I was on the Church Street bridge downtown. My power steering wasn't working so somehow I managed to pull into the parking lot of Nashville Electric Service just coasting. Panicked, I called my mom, my boyfriend, and my work in that order. I knew that there had to be a good Samaritan somewhere in the NES offices. I walked in and they made an announcement to the people in the lobby. This woman with sunken in eyes, smelled of cigarette smoke, but had a kind smile offered to give me a lift to the closest gas station. Her name was Barbara. I ran out of gas once.
