So she got out of her car and didn’t notice it as she was walking up to berate the guys? I’m calling fake.

See also: all those videos in sudden snowstorms where idiot drivers bail out of their car and flail around on the icy ground as the car sloooowly slides into an unoccupied, parked car and a city bus is sliding down the street right behind them. Belted in to the driver's seat of a modern car is a very safe place to be, but panic or rage can just make that fact disappear completely from a person's view. Also stupidity.

This story from the most recent US invasion of Iraq always pops up in my head when this is mentioned: (paraphrasing) "...and there I was driving my amtrac when an Iraqi hunter/killer team stepped out in front of me. I thought, "Nah, he's too close for the RPG-7 to arm." Then I remembered I was driving an amtrac and hit the gas."

The fear/panic reaction can make you do a lot of poo poo that's very stupid if you take even a moment to think about it. One of the most shocking examples came from the OSHA thread I think. Watched a helmet cam shot from a SCUBA diver who had one of his partners suddenly have a panic attack underwater. It's horrifying watching multiple divers converge on a woman who's lizard brain is making her panic and rip off her goggles and mask and oh hey now instead of her having a weird thing in her mouth that her panicked lizard brain doesn't recognize even though it's providing her with live-giving air: she now has water in her mouth! Queue up two divers just taking panicked, fighting woman by the shoulders and rushing her to the surface as fast as possible while she tries to wriggle out of their grip and a third grabs her breather and holds the valve open to try to create air bubbles in front of her face. Full on panic/rage can basically make parts of your brain shut down and you just don't notice things/your higher brain functions simply turn off.

It's the terrible acting that has my "it's fake" senses tingling, way more than the lady missing the gas pump on her way out of the car.

What freaks me out is the road. I'd happily drive that car as fast as I could make it go on a straight stretch of proper highway with sufficiently light traffic, but the idea of going 231 MPH on that road with no shoulders, possible oncoming traffic, and freaking bus stops is just insane to me.

I got the attention of the woman ahead of me at the drive thru to tell her her tire is flat. She got out, looked at it, said omg thank you. She then got back in and finished the drive thru thing which I get. I was thinking if she pulled into a space I'll offer to help her change the tire. Then she got her food and ... drove off down the main road. That tire is hosed.
