Did you ever run out of gas before reaching a gas station?

I had an interesting one happen only yesterday. I was at a gas station when I noticed the station attendant coming out of the building with a 5 gallon gas container and filled it up with gas. Then he walked around to the front of the building and disappeared with the gas. When I drove out and went around the front where he had gone, there he was dumping that can of gas into a car that had obviously run out of fuel as it tried to enter the gas station for gas, but was still half-hanging out onto the roadway blocking traffic! So close but yet so far!
