To the corner of Reddit called ‘antiwork’ where people call out bosses you really wouldn’t want to work for. And sometimes, you wouldn’t want to be interviewed by them either.

This tiny sumo wrestler is cute – but what the huge sumo wrestler does is even cuter
At Japan’s Naki Sumo Festival, sumo wrestlers try – and succeed – to make babies cry, because their crying is supposed to drive away demons and protect the children. Here’s how it works. Just because they make babies cry for the festival, doesn’t mean they do it at any other time. Akiyoshi Nagai – @rien0514 […]

Of course, she got panned.
If you don’t see the fuel tank door on the side of the car you’re checking, there’s a good chance it’s on the other side of the car. JoeyJoeJoeJrShab
Why is she taking the hose from the other side of the pump? androshalforc1
Just like some people shouldnt have kids, some people shouldnt own/drive cars. chidoOne707
But it also turned out to be fairly relatable.
I cant laugh. I live in New Jersey, where we cant fill our own gas. Ive never filled up my own gas and this might be me in the future. Kashi292
Hey now, I’ve done this. got a new car and was surprised when the fuel port was on the right side. imgrandojjo
When I bought my new car it took me 10 minutes to figure out I had to pull a lever down near my feet on the driver’s side to open it. My old car you just had to push it in while the car was unlocked. I was sat at the pump for 10 minutes googling how to do it! lj523
Its more fun to mock her, but the vehicle is probably a rental or borrowed. My dumb ass did this once on a business trip with an unfamiliar rental car. Thankfully no one was around and I didnt persist like her in assuming the car must be wrong, not me. mtftl
Did you check inside the door or wheel space before the other side of the car though? Because that was what really made me laugh. Ankou6689
Quite a few people thought it was staged, with the main arguments being these –
Why were they filming? jshit9
It’s gotta be fake, the video quality is absurdly high. kultureisrandy
Its either faked or the person recording is an asshole who likes to upload videos of strangers to the internet. MirageATrois024
Which brings us nicely to the ‘camera crew’ –
I kinda feel bad for her; running low on gas, guys in the vehicle recording her and laughing and, of course, NOT helping, while she just wants to get on with her day. Zameel-Boltcaster
Why is society more focused on filming people’s mistakes than simply getting out of the car and helping her? I mean common sense should immediately tell her it is on the other side, but a kind gesture is free, never hurts, and brings us internal happiness and karma. CovahMachiavelli
Lets film her and honk at her like assholes instead of helping her out Veganboi303
Real or fake – here’s a tip for avoiding the same pitfall.
Life hack: on the fuel gauge there is a tiny arrow that points to the side of the car that has the fuel door. I never noticed it until somebody pointed it out to me but its on every car. TyrionReynolds
Omg I was staring at that arrow the other day wondering what it was..I am not a smart man. _coach_
u/Squirley08 was ready to believe – having seen some things.
15 years I managed a gas station. Wait until she drives around to the other side of the pumps and still can’t figure it out. I’ve seen it too many times.
