The getting back into the car while refueling isolates the cell talking woman from being grounded while the car (with her in it) could be building a static charge. She then gets back out in her leather soled shoes, and removes the nozzle from the car. The car and the rest of the planet then try to equalize the static charge by a small spark as the gap between the car and the nozzle opens. Right at the opening of a full gas tank and vapor in the nozzle.
I was taught never to get in and out of the car while refueling for several reasons.
