Ever get the nozzle stuck in your gas hole? I did. Pushing, pulling and turning did nothing. It wouldn't let go. I quote]
Soooooo much more embarrassing than a stuck nozzle; I ripped the hose off the gas pump. I left the gas pumping while checking there was a squeegee, washed my windshield and then hopped in and pulled away with the hose attached. I went and let the clerk know the hose was laying on the ground and he was nice about it. (There was no gas spill and the clerk can reattach the hose.) I've been back to this station, same clerk works there and he does not appear to remember me.
I'm embarassed to say it, but right after the lockdown I drove off with more gas hoses than I will publicly admit to. I had been so used to buying ALL my gas during shops, that when I started buying it on my own dime, I would leaving it pumping to fill up while I ran into the store, and then come out, jump in my car like usuall, and rmhrrmp. Now I always stand there and attend the hose while fueling like a good citizen.
