Note to self:

When the "engine malfuncation indicator lamp" (check engine light, in American) is lit solid (not flashing!) whilst driving, do not panic, simply return to the last gas station visited and retrieve the gas cap from the ground where you left it.

My first job (back in high school) was working at a Service Station. About the 20 minutes into the job, I forgot to put a gas cap back on a guy's truck. About 10 minutes later, the guy returns - gets out of his truck muscles and tattoos flexing, angry and ready to tear my head off. After cussing me out (with some words I'd never even heard before), he demanded to know "How long you been working here???!!! -eek-

I sheepishly replied "About a half hour..."

He then, very nicely said: "Oh, I'm sorry..." and calmly got in his truck and drove off...
