Driving an unfamiliar/new/rented/borrowed/stolen/traded-to-you-for-some-drugz car? Forget which side the gas tank is on? Have pulled in, turned off car, gone inside to pay (no, I will not pay for gas "at the pump," and don't you dare tell me it's easier) then come out to realize you are on the wrong side, then have to either turn around and back in or go tell the Dumb Kid working inside (over the blare of local monopolized rock radio blasting "Can't Get Enough of Your Love," if that's what it called? Bad Company...) that you need to move to a different pump (and, even then it's still better than the vile "paying at the pump" you so callowly espouse)...
Well, get this then: that little icon of a pump on any gas gauge made post-19whatever? It TELLS you what side to park on (and in my excitement over this, I WILL leave the preposition):

I get it, but here's the real question: doesn't that little "gas pump" icon DIRECTLY CONTRADICT itself? I mean, isn't the nozzle on the wrong side of the pump from where it says you should find your tank? If the picture is supposed to help me remember which side to park by the pump, it should comport with reality, no? As if one weren't confused ENOUGH at the pump, what with paying inside and all!
