Yep, this was almost me today.
I put the nozzle in the gas tank, went inside to purchase some items, and then drove off.
I didn’t even realize that I had done this until I got to my desk at work. I panicked and ran to the parking garage to make sure that I didn’t actually take the nozzle with me.
I didn’t. (whew!)
I called the gas station to make sure that 1) my transaction got completed and I wasn’t paying for everyone’s gas, and 2) that I didn’t fuck shit up.
All is good. I just don’t think I’ll be going back to that gas station anymore because I’m too embarrassed about being a moron.
