A convenience store in Ireland welcomes customers from all walks of life, including an escaped sheep from the farm across the street. Aiden Benson, owner of Benson’s Quikpick Gas Station in Castlemaine, County Kerry, Ireland, shared a few videos of the incident on the company’s Facebook page. The caption of the first post reads, “New customer looking for ATM today.” During the incident, an employee was helping another customer and didn’t notice the sheep until it passed the refrigerator on its way out. Ironically, the gas station was having a special on lamb chops that day. Maybe that’s why the sheep didn’t stay long.

Florida Man

One man in Florida lost out on $60 worth of gas by mistaking a fishing pole slot in his boat for the gas tank. All the fuel poured out onto the deck of the 24-foot boat and on the ground of the fuel island before the 31-year-old man noticed something was amiss. The fire department was called, and a technical rescue team siphoned the gas from the boat and cleaned up. The situation was described as a “level 3 hazmat.”
 

Quadruple Parked

We’ve all done it—driven up to a fuel pump and gotten out to pump gas only to realize the tank is on the other side of the car. Most of us correct our mistake right away by circling around to the opposite side of the fuel pump—or simply stretching the nozzle to the far side. One driver recently found the challenge especially tricky. A viral video shows a young woman reparking her car not once, not twice, but four times in an attempt to correctly align her minivan’s fuel tank with the fuel pump. The poor woman becomes increasingly frustrated after each wrong park. The video was captured by a man and woman who after watching her multiple failed attempts, helped the woman park correctly and congratulated her once she succeeded.
