Do you know what the definition of insanity is?
We know fuel is stored in the balls
I feel bad for her - because that’s got to be dementia or something - but she shouldn’t be driving.

This is the “stupid does” part of the saying “stupid is as stupid does”.
There’s no sound but all I can hear is Yakety Sax
Benny Hill screaming loudly in my head
Doesn’t understand rotation of an object. Drives a cubic ton of metal on wheels in the streets.
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.
Yknow we could just be seeing an extreme bout of dyslexia in a tired person.
I don’t like your new year resolution…
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 😂
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.
Protip look at fuel gage you’ll see a symbol telling you which side ◀️⛽ Sadly modern technology can only take us so far
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
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.
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.
At one point I thought the video had looped.
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.
The fact that they probably filled their car up with fuel before and then goes and does this is beyond my comprehension
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.
