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...
Yall never worked in trades and saw the group dyslexic figure east was west, north was south, write shit backwards until the coffee got to his brain and things reverted to normal/reality. Can't even argue with them because they make rational sounding statements that are half batshit, but, they are 100 percent sure on until they get to be old dyslexics and recognize the tells from what others are saying.
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.

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.
She's just going to drive away with it anyway.
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.

This person should not be allowed to operate a vehicle ever
I've been practicing driving with a person who shouldn't drive. She has no feeling for the car, i. e. doesn't understand how you would correct your position, drive in reverse etc., and it feels like she's asleep with her eyes open. Imo driving is a constant stream of decisions and she just doesn't make any. "Why are we driving here?" - "I've been looking for somewhere to turn around." - "We're passing suitable locations every 3 seconds and you're going 50." - "I can't decide in time which to use."
She's afraid to go the speed limit, highways are off limits. The other day she just straight up drove out into an intersection from a yield side without breaking and stopped in the middle. I warned her it was coming, there were signs and everything. She doesn't know the speed limit when it's always very clearly signed. She doesn't read directions and can't navigate by herself; "if I say nothing, go straight, or right if straight is not an option" is forgotten after 5 minutes. She's been driving with an instructor (which I am not) for 20 lessons and we've gone at least ten times, too.
I mean sometimes you just have to admit someone is dumb or has a specific deficiency and move on.
I'm pretty sure I have some deficiencies, but I'm lucky I got to learn pretty young on a farm. I'm torn between wanting to advocate kids have access to like go kart tracks at school vs funding more public transit and walkable communities, as someone else said. Both would be dope tho
Having a society that's designed so everyone has to drive is absurd.

People like this are why I support walkable communities and convenient, free mass transit.

I feel bad for her - because that’s got to be dementia or something - but she shouldn’t be driving.

Some people were never meant to operate machinery of any kind, much less machines physically larger than they are.
Like, don’t even let this person touch a lawnmower.
Am I the only one who did pump fuel perfectly fine from the "wrong side"?
Usually the hose is long enough to do it safely as long as the car is not too behind the pump.
In the Miata community, it's called "Doing The Thing."
Meanwhile Triumph TR4 is like, "What do you mean which side?"

Like a slapstick comedy 😂
The legends say she is still circling the pump to this day.
I was doing Y2K updates for Quik Trip and these clerks had me crying over a story about a drunk guy doing this. The shit convenience store clerks see, Jesus those guys were funny.
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.
LOL I was ready to defend the driver, having pulled in on the wrong side of the pump once or twice. I drive different cars, and while most have it on the driver's side, one vehicle I drive regularly has it on the opposite side, so I have occasionally made the mistake.
But then I corrected it by turning the car around and pulling into the pump on the correct side...
Usually the fuel cap is on the passenger side according to the country of origin, so for example European = right side, Japanese = left side. It's not 100% bullet proof but it can eliminate a bit of the guess work if the car doesn't have an arrow to indicate such side the cap is on.
In this thread, user who has never driven an American car but thinks they know things
There are cars that don't have arrows to indicate the side of the fuel cap on the fuel meter? Well, if they exist, I have definitely never seen one.
But these are just two different standards. What if your car isn't European or Japanese?
This is such baseless bullshit
If it doesn't have an arrow then the correct side is denoted by whether the fuel icon itself has the hose on the left or right.
More importantly, unless you drive something the size of a bus, it doesn't matter which side you park, it'll still reach fine.
At Costco and other high volume stores yes because they're designed that way. Normal gas stations not so.
Is this an American thing? They're long enough where I am.
