Today I started pumping gas and went into the station to use the restroom. As I returned I was writing up a very funny Facebook post and, chuckling at my cleverness, got back into the car, started it up, and drove forward confidently. There was instantly a starling BANG and a rumbling dragging noise behind me and I knew I had stepped in it big time. I got out of the car and stared in dismay at the hose of the gas pump dangling behind my car, attached to the handle which was still stuck firmly in my car. In my shocked panic I then proceeded to get back into the car and reverse to the pump, driving over the hose and snapping the handle off in the process.
With a deep sense of shame I walked into the station, ready to receive an ear full and a big bill. Instead the gas station attendant thanked me for telling him. Apparently this happens about once a month, and most people just get out of their cars, remove the handle and hose, and drive away. I haven’t felt this relieved in a while. Also, yet more evidence that most people suck.
TL;DR I drove away from the gas pump with the handle still in my tank, tearing it off. The attendant thanked me for being the most basic level of decent human.
