I actually had a different experience but it could have been worse than yours. I was pumping gas with the nozzle locked. I was talking to my friend and then my tank got full so it shut off and clicked but as it did so the nozzle flew out of the tank and slid down the side of the car and fell onto the ground. I almost crapped myself. Luckily it was covered in plastic so there were no scratches and the nozzle somehow did not touch the car only the handle did.
