Even more so when you aren't driving your own car.
You're trying to adjust to a new vehicle at the same time you're trying to figure out where the heck you are.
Heh... ain't it the truth. That may have been the time I got saddled with a car (I won't say what it was in case somebody here has one, and I don't wanna offend anybody...) that was absolutely the *worst* ergonomic design I've ever struggled to drive. Horrible... to the point of almost being undriveable.
Everything was in the least likely place you'd look for it. Turn signals, lights, wipers, seat adjustments... everything. Not only un-intuitive... counterintuitive... like they *intended* for the car to be hard to drive.
You wouldn't ~think~ that the intermittent wipers were controlled by moving the seat backward and forward... but it was almost that bad. :-)
Intead of a left turn signal, you change the radio volume. Instead of headlights, you get washer fluid. On and on and on...
It was a car ~by~ M@ssholes, ~for~ M@ssholes. :-)
