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?

    It’s also impossible in India because they pump it for you and you’re not even allowed to do it yourself

      That’s how it is or was in many places in the US. Not many states do it anymore.

        I think it’s only New Jersey now. It used to be Oregon also but I think late last year they removed that requirement.

      That doesn’t make it impossible. Nozzle finishes, then you drive off before the attendant removes it. Quite possible.
