Protip look at fuel gage you’ll see a symbol telling you which side ◀️⛽ Sadly modern technology can only take us so far
Not in every car though. My car doesn’t have this. (Opel Meriva A)
I’ve seen it where the side of the pump that the hose is on in the symbol acts like an arrow, any possibility that’s it?
Yes, I think it’s possible.
My wife’s hyundai has two and each has an arrow going a different direction. Gets me every time because my car has the fill hole on the passenger side and hers is on driver side so I always look down at the arrow.
One I guess has the arrow to the right to signify how much gas is left and the other has an arrow to the left to say what side the pump is on but they are both the same icon
FILL HOLE
People like this are why I support walkable communities and convenient, free mass transit.
We should strive for the least common denominator :-/
When it comes to accessibility, yes
Sorry I also don’t want to interact with this person on foot, or in a store, or be behind her at self checkout, or watch her use a tablet to order food. I would prefer to never have to think about someone with this level of brain activity.
I will have open solidarity with that person, thank you very much. Society should accommodate everyone. If it can’t, it’s a bad society.
And if you can’t tolerate people like this existing, you’re a bad person, and I don’t want anything to do with you.
Welcome to life, where occasionally you deal with things you don’t want to. I do hope you never experience a similar situation, but if you do, I hope it is handled with compassion.
Oh hey a response. I don’t really get what your response has to do with anything, but you used words so good for you!
Your entire point, in the context of my message, is “sometimes life isn’t perfect”?
For my part, I sincerely hope you never reach the mental state where you think you can drive a car but in fact can’t align two objects within 8 feet of each other. Because that’s sad, and deserving of compassion from people who care about you.
Doesn’t understand rotation of an object. Drives a cubic ton of metal on wheels in the streets.
Yknow we could just be seeing an extreme bout of dyslexia in a tired person.
I don’t like your new year resolution…
My only thought as to why this could occur is that either the person is intoxicated or has some sort of cognitive issue like dementia OR that it was deliberately done as a sketch to make a viral video. The former are scary to think about. I can understand a “normal” person making this mistake once or twice, but the fact that it’s continuous and repeated would lead toward impairment.
I immediately thought this is a person on opiates.
Source: saw my mother do this when I was young.
I’m really sorry to hear :(
Appreciate it but luckily it was like 30 years ago.
Drives a cubic ton of metal
What’s a cubic ton?
Is that like making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs?
It’s a poor translation on my part.
Cubic tonne of metal would probably make more sense. But there is nothing cubic really in a car so I don’t know why I choose this wording.
As far as I know an heavy car is close to 1000Kg which is a Tonne in the metric system.
A cubic metre of water weighs a tonne.
If fresh water, at sea level, under certain barometric conditions and a temperature of 4 degrees, at the equator.
I’m just noticing that metre is the correct spelling in English.
Isn’t “meter” the commonly used translation?
I realize it must not be commonly used anyway with the imperial system being used in the US.
“Meter" and “metre” are both correct spellings of the word that refers to a unit of measurement in the metric system:
“Meter” is the preferred spelling in American English, while “metre” is preferred in British English and other forms of English outside the United States.
In India, there is a preference for “meter” over “metre” (75 to 25). In the Philippines, there is a preference for “meter” over “metre” (100 to 0). In Canada, there is a preference for “meter” over “metre” (68 to 32). In Australia, there is a preference for “meter” over “metre” (68 to 32).
What’s your point?
Cubic is a measure of volume, not mass.
I don’t think I said it was a mass.
I meant cubic as in cube shaped?
Super pedantic edit:
Now that I think about it cubic isn’t really a measure of volume :
“cubic” on its own is not a measure of volume. It is an adjective that describes something related to a cube or three-dimensional space, but it requires a unit of length to provide a meaningful measure of volume.
Cubic isn’t a measure at all, it’s a shape.
Like a slapstick comedy 😂
At one point I thought the video had looped.
There’s no sound but all I can hear is Yakety Sax
Benny Hill screaming loudly in my head
Jesus.
The fact that someone that stupid is allowed to drive.
And too stupid to realise the hoses are designed to reach the other side of the car here too.
I don’t know about where you live, but very few stations where I am have hoses long enough to do this. I think costco pumps are the only ones I’ve seen that are long enough.
Here in the midlands they’re mounted up high and have decent reach. The Shell ones pull out and retract too.
Fancy! I still don’t know why every pump doesn’t do it, it would make too much sense.
I have met people who have zero ability for 3D visualisation. I’m thinking this is one of those cases, plus a small panic after the second try.
This is the “stupid does” part of the saying “stupid is as stupid does”.
I think the clip ends with her just giving up and driving away, from memory.
Nope, once the right-hand side pump got blocked by the black car she made it
Yeah she left and went to one of those left-hand side gas stations.
USA! USA! Go USA!
This video appears to be from the UK, mate.
It’s so hard to tell though, every other time she gets in and out of the American side
Ha ha ha ha …. Now all I can think of is the outstanding prank that could be. “Hey honey, can you please pump the gas?” Then “oh sorry, let me fix it, can you please pump the gas now”, over and over 🤣
What? The steering wheel is on the right?
But at the beginning she clearly gets out of the left side
And maybe I need to add /s, that’s my bad
No, she doesn’t?
She does if you, also, don’t understand rotation. She’s in the left (of the car) and then on the right.
No she isn’t. She uses right door all the time and you can even see a steering wheel on the right hand side.
Are you blind or you don’t understand sides? At the beginning her right door are actually on our left side as she is facing us.
The legends say she is still circling the pump to this day.
No spatial awareness. Absolutely none.
