20 or so years ago a friend had borrowed my truck to do some moving stuff and left me his car. I almost broke the gear selector off before I accidently touched my foot on the brake pedal! (The designers were protecting little kids; being left in a running vehicle; from accidently pulling the car into gear and having a wreck.)
Another time I’d rented a car and when it was time for some gas; I couldn’t open the gas door.
I almost broke it when I noticed a little lever that released it.
At least I can open the hood on my Jeep; barely.
After flipping the latch (down by the floor) I have a hard time reaching the lever by the radiator as my fingers are too short.
There’s just HAS to be a special place in hell for the person who designed THAT thing!!
Or the “safe” gas cans where you pour gas over everything except where you want it because of what is needed to work the “safety” mechanism.
