paulskinback, your story reminds me of the time I sat in the movie theater and watched the closing credits, which I almost never do. The buddy I went to see the movie with was one of those people who likes to sit and watch all that stuff, while I'm not. About halfway home, we got stuck in traffic on the freeway, almost right in front of a bad car crash, and I've sometimes wondered how differently my life would have gone, had I just walked out of the theater like normal.
So these things happen. Sometimes it's someone who likes movie credits, other times it's a wonky gas pump
