I’m did the same thing when Ram put the dial gear selector on the dash. Turn up the volume or shift gears is a dangerous confusion.

Then there is the key location of the 911 on the left. 30 years of that motion has me still reaching with my left hand.

I actually have to think about all the locations of the basic controls every time I switch driving in one of my cars/trucks. I know it’s a first world problem but it can get annoying.
Sometimes I feel like the idiot that pulls up on the wrong side of the gas pumps where the fuel door is located. That is a embarrassing park-of-shame.
