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?

    Coworker did it three times. Autopay by the nozzle, fuel cap on other side of the car, not looking at side mirrors, Bingo!

      I don’t get this?

      So they go out of the car, put the pump in, pumped it, forgot to take pump out, paid, went back into the car, and drove off?

        With autopay the payment is done automatically by reading a proximity device on the filling hole, with credit/debit cards you put the card in to activate the pump, not at the end of pumping.

        Go out of the car, put nozzle on other side of the car, go back inside the car waiting for it to be done, assume a station worker took the nozzle out, drive, hear a station worker screaming, drive back to return part of the pump.

      Why would the fuel cap be on the other side of the car from the filly filly gas hole?

        Fuel cap and filling hole on the passenger side and not on the driver side

          Not only is that not what you said, but that doesn’t inherently increase the risk of driving off with the nozzle in the car.
