How can you drive off a gas station with the hose still connected?
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?

As where I live you pay for the gas after you have filled it up and you hold in the pump handle the entire time, with going inside to pay and return when it has finished pumping being impossible. So yes it is quite hard to imagine how people can forget it., it would require some skill to do that here.
Yeah, I know. Most comments in this thread say the exact same thing.
However, it's obviously not the case everywhere.
The OP didn't exactly specify where he lives and only said that you have to pay "at some point", so I'm giving my point of view.
Obviously it's harder for forget it you have to hold the thing, but that thing isn't universal.
I actually did know that, I have never heard about gaspumps that doesn't require someone to hold the handle, until this post.
I knew that in someplace of the US an attended will pump the gas for you, but that doesn't change anything in how they are operated. It dose in some regards make it more difficult to drive of with it still attached, but more understandable if you somehow managed to.
