Now I have to remember which side the filler is since the BMW has its filler on the other side than than the Chrysler and the Hyundai.

I did for a while before I retired but I've been paranoid about stuff like this all my life.FWIW, I've also trained her to shut off the water valves and bleed the pressure from the water hoses connected to the washing machine after every use too. That may be the extent of her technical knowledge of things in the house but I'll take it.
Now, if you're talking about the "credit" thing, I've never gotten more than I deserve, so again, I'll take it rather than it being wasted.

Speaking of the entitlement of pedestrians - last week I was in a grocery store parking lots which has a Wendy's adjacent to it. It was lunchtime when I went to back out of my spot. There is a nearby high school and a large group of students picked that moment to leave the Wendy's and head back. I has just begun to creep out of my spot when they began to cut across the laneway behind me. None of them seemed to care one iota that there was moving traffic (not just me). They were just oblivious.
Speaking of which, that lot is in a development that also has a couple of other fast food places, a Subway and a Little Caesars. They are overrun with high school kids at lunch. Now I know times are different now, but that must get very expensive for their parents to fund eating out at lunch every day. Not all of these kids are from affluent areas either. I guess I have trouble relating after having had too many peanut butter & jam sandwiches and pieces of fruit when I was bringing my lunch to school.

On the subject of doing it right the first time, I see threads on MB forums about people trying to retrofit options - especially fancier lighting and widescreen gauges. It can end up being more troublesome than simply finding a car with the desired options. When I car shop, there are always a couple "deal breaker" options, then I don't have to think about it later.

Living in a relatively densely populated area, I see a lot of pedestrians doing it their own way. Key groups are kids with headphones, and older people. If you are under 20 or over 60, you write your own rules
I think everything is expensive for parents today, you should see the cost of youth sports and other activities. Many doddering parents probably can't make a pb&j, not to mention teaching a kid how to do it, then the kid ends up a bit entitled, and of course society or the media are to blame, not idiotic parents.

I suppose I’m not one to talk since I keep my kids supplied in a never ending stream of hooptie transportation.

Good point about fast food, it might be cheaper than healthier food for those who live in food deserts or simply lack time time or knowledge (hence the obesity crisis as the socio-economic reality devolves).

for gas filler, I had a few on the passenger side, but really prefer driver's. Since in NJ there is no self service, so you have to talk to the attendant, and dealing with that and paying through the passenger side is a pain.

I can't remember that he mentioned the location of the building. I suspect it was a wood structure and no longer surviving. The early concept of schools for every small block of rural square miles within the county left a lot of buildings, some wood, some brick, still standing when I was a youth. That's why I value the one near my home area that is often in my icon picture. That one is being restored as have been only a few. Most became storage barns for farmers and deteriorated.

Then it was the folks who just felt everyone should get out of their lane, no matter the risk in making lane changes and having slow down between slower cars in the right of two lanes to allow the speeder to pass.
Now I think it's an attitude of not caring what they do but they just wanna do what they wanna do. Often with a phone to their ear.
If someone is tailgating me I slow down a click every 1/2 mile of so until I can safely make the lane change. Understand I'm going at least 5 miles to 8 miles per hour over the limit and traffic is heavy enough that changing to the middle or right lane means I have to slow down while the speedster passes.
Then often the tailgater doesn't want to go fast, they just want to tailgate fast; they will hang slow in the left lane blocking so I can't get back over to continue at my chosen speed. MICHIGAN drivers have the best practices award for not tailgating and giving time for someone to get over. And then they get past your car and move on up and often change back to the middle lane if it's open enough.
Most tailgaters drive only in the left lane. They never move over even if someone faster than they are comes up behind them. I've watched them from Cincy to Dayton never leave the left lane or 3 or 4 lanes. LOL
Then there's this:

Sadly, I suspect all of those are a national disease rather than localized outbreaks.
