You drove and pulled up to the gas station to fill your gas tank. You exited your vehicle, opened your gas tank cover, grabbed and put the dispenser nozzle in. You also had to pay at some point.
How can you forget that the hose is still connected to your car when you drive off?
Or you just have adhd. I have a habit of doing 3 checks before driving off so this doesn’t happen to me. One as i get into the car, one look in my side mirror, and one look at the pump to make sure the handle is back in its place, and I’ve almost driven off without putting it back still.
One moment you’re pumping gas, the next you’re already switched into gear, whatever happened between those two is anyone’s guess.
