Gas station pet peeves
I was at the car wash/gas station today and coming out of the car wash I was going to fuel up my truck. As I'm rolling out of the car wash I am aiming for the only pump that has diesel, as I'm headi...

I think my pet peee at gas stations is that there is no one way lanes.... such as you see at Costco or Sam's Club. People come in from different directions and makes it almost impossible for some one with a trailer to get to an open pump. About the time one does open up, someone zips in from the other direction. Grrrrrr

A large part of that has to do with the lack of standardization as to which side of the vehicle the fuel filler is on. Imposing one way traffic either means making it nearly impossible for some people to fill up or at least having some lanes that are unusable by some vehicles, even if they are empty and there's a line at the other lanes.
The solution, of course, is to get all the car makers to put the fuel filler on the correct side. Unfortunately, that would probably take a literal act of congress (or at least rulemaking by the federal DOT).
