I’ve just returned from a walk in a local forest, and have realised that one knows instinctively the difference between the front and back of a tree.
Bursting for a pee, I had one around the back of a tree, some things just don’t need to be taught.

Today was the day I discovered that the majority of cars and vans have an arrow on the fuel guage indicating which side of the vehicle the fuel cap can be found.
How did I learn this? a colleague, not far from being half my age, asked me wtf i was doing pulling into tescos, stopping 15m before the pumps and looking back out of the door. (Refilling a rental).

I discovered this 13 years ago when Sam told me.
Schooled, by a girl.
That was the day the last façade of my dignity crumbled into dust and blew away forever…
~sigh~

I’m impressed that you’ve avoided the clickbaity info adverts that would have taught you this along with the clever design features of tape measures & how to get rid of belly fat.

I must look tomorrow 
Mrs M told me about that about a year ago. I was in ignorant bliss up to then. Now I have to look at it every fucking time I get in the car.

I like you lot, while you all queue up for the correct side i just drive to the available pump and use that one. The fuel hose will do a reach around

cutting queues comes in handy as you have to fill the landy up every 30 pico seconds

I honestly thought this was common knowledge.
Obviously there was a time when I didn’t know this and someone told me but that was long ago.
Do EVs tell you which side the power intake is I wonder?

Don’t tell 'em, Pike, or they might catch on.

It’s talk like that that got Mrs M to tell me about the magic arrow. Until then I did what you do.
Like the person pumping their tyres up at the Spar today. Drove in. Pumped up the first 2. Drove out and reversed back in. Then pumped up the other 2.

They probably didn’t want to drag a filthy rubber hose over their car and potentially scratch the paint.
