It's tough to make my jaw drop, but it just did.
I was getting gas, and there was a beat up pickup truck at the pump across from me, filling up.
They pulled away with the pump still in the car, and PULLED THE HOSE out of it's housing at the top. You know, where the gas comes out?
Yeah.
Now listen, I've done some pretty stupid things in my life, so I really can't judge. Other than to stand there in shock and stare.
So, the truck stops and the male (passenger) jumps out and hangs the pump back up on the handle thing. What good does that do? The hose is dangling onto the ground. I thought, surely to God they're not going to just drive away?
No, the male walked in to the gas station and fetched an attendant.
The WOMAN (driver) then decides to jump out.
To apologize, you ask? To stand and look sheepishly remorseful and embarassed, maybe?
Why, no!
She yells at the attendant: "I can't fucking believe the pumps will DO that!"
I couldn't take anymore. I actually said, "Are you serious?!?!?!" and then I laughed. Hard.
The attendant, to his credit, ignored her and began the process of trying to reattach the hose without blowing everyone up.
I got a dirty look for my trouble. I left after that.
