Funny Cases Where People Forgot the Simplest Things

Some people forget about things five seconds after doing them. Take this person who stepped out of their car to fill their gas. After noticing that the pump stopped, they didn’t close the gas cap and return the pump nozzle. Instead, they floored the gas pedal, but the pump wasn’t ready to say goodbye just yet.

Nowadays, the gas pump’s hose has a breakaway component that stops cars from dragging the entire pump away. This picture seems pretty recent, so we’re not sure what exactly stopped the breakaway mechanism from breaking away. That’s why there should be people manning the gas pumps.
