I have never done that, but I have quite a collection of those tubular document carriers that you use at bank drive up pneumatic system.

While not quite as dramatic as the picture, yesterday I saw some driver trying to get his car into a gas station car wash. The gas cap was dangling out of the wide open gas door. This car was next in line until some good Samaritan tapped on the driver's car to warn him about the cap.

Hmm .. i wonder how catastrophic that could potentially be .. I m thinking water in gas tank goes to engine = flooded engine or atleast doesn't combust causing massive knock to engine.

I have done that once when I was putting gas in my boat, just jumped in the car and took off, totally forgot about the hose until I heard this loud pop, I quickly stopped, took the hose and put the handle back on the gas pump and high tailed it out of there. I don't think I have ever felt so stupid.

Would this have not created a ruckus? Was she on the phone or texting as she drove off????

Carumba!

Apparently this happens quite a bit. There was a girl on another forum I'm on that drove off with the gas pump in her car and it flew over and broke her back window on her Mercedes. Oops. I wonder how people pump their gas though that they don't notice it. I stand by the pump until it's done and then take it out. Do they just get in the car and forget they are pumping gas or something?

Thank you. That is exactly what this pic needed. That or an "All your base are belong to us" variant.

Congrats on your 100th post.
