That makes sense, because the gas station now has to replace the nozzle. But $80 to just snap the hose connectors back together...I don't feel bad for OP because they were driving while "still a little fuzzy," but they got scammed LOL. I guess it doesn't pay to have a moral compass at that particular gas station.

Guitar. And I might be biased because of the four things you listed, it's the one thing I've never managed to pick up. But I've never met a guitarist who couldn't at least muddle through on bass. And if you're trying to do it all yourself, it doesn't matter how great a drummer you are if you can't write/play melodies.

You didn't hit anyone's car. And anyone can take a picture of a license plate. If your knuckles aren't messed up from hitting him, it doesn't seem like there's any proof. Don't answer any questions if the cops show up. But maybe be smarter next time.
