First trip to the petrol station!

It might sound crazy to write up stuff like this but then the scenario was so damn hilarious that I couldn’t help but write. It was two in the afternoon when I suddenly realized that my mom was lying in bed with a head ache and there were no head ache pills at home. I had to run to the nearby pharmacy to get her the pills (run does not literally mean I RAN all the way, I actually drove my dads scooter). When I reached Thudiyalur (a small village where we supposedly get what we need!), I realized that the scooter was running short of petrol. So I picked up the head ache pills and headed towards the petrol bunk which was just some 100 meters away.
It was the first time I was going to a bunk all by my self. When I reached the cash counter I was just so lost that I didn't know what I had to do. I kept looking at the cashier for a minute before comprehending the fact that the lady was waving at me and asking me for the amount. I revived from my initial shock and gave her a hundred rupee note and asked her to fill gasoline for hundred rupees. I was in for another stern glance from the lady when I didn't know the place in the scooter where they fill petrol. I kept wondering for what felt like an hour before I remembered that there was an opening in the middle of the scooter to fill petrol. So, after all this drama I discovered the damn place (I don’t know what happened to my brain, it just wouldn't react!). I was in for another mental assault (damn, I wonder what that lady would have thought! I was acting like a dumb ass!) when I veered the top the other way round instead of actually opening it! Finally I lunged at it and succeeded in opening the loathsome top. I filled the petrol and rushed out of the place before any body else could invade my already offended brain!
I hope you had fun reading about my cheesy day to day stuff! Will write up something interesting soon till then,
Cheers,
