Why would he do that? He'd have exactly the same things that you did, and exactly the same reasons or lack thereof to go back to his car.

He would have eaten the same things you did, with exactly the same physiological response. Why would he get indigestion and not you?

Quote:
He might get mugged,
The same people in his vicinity would be in yours as well. Any mugger who might happen upon him would happen upon you as well.

Quote:
or hear someone scream and go to investigate.
See above.

Quote:
It might rain.
Weather conditions would also be the same.

Quote:
He might suddenly, urgently need a crap.
See above.

The possibilities are endless really, which is why every single decision you make in your life is exactly that: a decision to go one way or the other. Even look at TV. You might decide to watch a new show, get totally into it, so much so that you stop writing that novel you had intended to finish. AUT does not watch the show and becomes a famous novelist. It goes on and on...
Why should the possibilities be endless? There may very well be only one possibility.
