I have in fact come close to driving off after pumping gas.
I usually pay at the pump. Occasionally, I want a soda or something, so I plan to go in and pay/get tasty snacks. But by the time I'm done pumping the gas, I've spaced that. The beeeeeeeeps remind me to go in and get a snack.

The beeping is part of the widespread assumption in our society that you're nothing but a petty thief.

If there's one thing i detest without reservation about modern American society, it's the Panopticon - the proliferation of security to prevent shoplifting and other theft.
