Good for you for going back, many wouldn't. That says a lot about your character.

But now for a rant. I do not understand sitting in the car while pumping. It's a 2 minute process at the most, I don't think I've ever stood there for longer than that. It's strange to me that anyone would sit in their car for that.

I live in Minnesota and almost everyone here sits in their car while getting gas in the winter because that shit gets way too cold to just be standing still

As a fellow Minnesotan, I've never left my car unattended while filling up. -30f or not.

Now there's a reason I can understand

i live in the asscrack of the midwest where it gets absolutely frigid and still wait outside while pumping gas — partially because it’s a safety hazard and partially because i’m a cheapskate and only fill my tank halfway at a time

It was cold and I was underdressed 🤷‍♂️

I live in Western Canada and pump gas regularly at -30 - -40 degrees Celsius and I’ve actually never once in my life sat in my car when fuelling up or seen anyone do that in my life! You just curse the sky, pace a bit and try to leave your body for the 5 mins it takes.
