TIFU being in a rush to get home on a Friday

S

TIFU by forgetting and being in a rush. It's Friday and just wanted to leave work and get home. So get in my car and start driving and get on I-70 to leave downtown. 4 lanes so obviously wanna be on either one of left two lanes. Speed limit is 55, but lets be real no one drives under 70 on there. Make my way to the left lane and about ten minutes later, my car starts slowing down. I know I don't use cruise control so I'm like WTF and scan my way to the gas meter and it was at that moment I knew I fucked up. In such a rush I forgot to stop and fill up gas. Before getting on highway. So Luckily i made my way to the shoulder. Lol my first thought was to get an Uber😂 then came back to reality. Sat there for about ten minutes in my car laughing at myself for actually being that dumb and forgetting to fill up. Mid laugh I remembered I've had a gas can in my trunk and luckily there was just enough gas for me to get to next exit and fill my car up. That's my L for the month. TIL it's convenient to keep a full gas can in your trunk for dumb people like me.

TL;DR:spaced on the amount of gas left in my car which in turn ran out and stopped in the middle of a highway
