I was in a upper middle class area at 3:30 pm this afternoon, filling up my car. It was about 67-68 degrees, overcast but not raining. I was the only woman there at the time who did not get back into their car while pumping gas. I never do. I've seen this before but it really hit me today. Why? Why do women get back into their car? I could see if it was in the middle of the hood at 2am, but this was in a really safe area. Is it paranoia? I don't get it. Even if someone jumped into your car, every spot was filled and there was a line behind all the cars. No way out. I'm thinking it was an old urban legend that was used to scare women. I really don't get it.
