Hi!
This morning I was heading to lead my laughter club and I needed to stop and fill the car with gas.  I pulled into Domo and just as they say, they jumped to the pump!  For some reason I thought that I had better check to see if I had my wallet and sure enough, I didn’t have it with me!  I leaped out of the car, yelled out “Stop the pump” and scared the poor Domo guy half to death.  He immediately grabbed the pump and pulled it out.  I then explained apologetically that I didn’t have my wallet and began scrounging around for change to pay for the $2 of gas that he had started to pump into the tank.  The whole time I was laughing and his reaction was very relaxed (once he recovered from my initial yell!) and it occured to me to give him a hug for being understanding but I thought that might be pushing it!  I just thanked him and drove away laughing about my situation.  The great thing about practicing laughter regularly is that all I did was laugh and it never occured to me to be embarrased or get on my case for forgetting my wallet.  I just dealt with it and moved on!  How do you deal with these kinds of situations?
