Don't feel too bad, it took the Mrs. 11 years to "discover" there is an upper and lower glove box on my truck.
It's a 2011 Ram 2500.
She still hasn't found the in floor rear storage compartments.......ssssshhh.

Im so used to driving old cars, when I rented a new tahoe in indiana I had to check the internet to find out how to open the gas door. I was a step away from trying to lift the license plate.

My 03 Dakota has a tether on the cap and I'll just let it hang when fueling up. But if it ever breaks I'll have the holder on the door!
Did you know that the hole in a spaghetti spoon is to measure just one serving?

Funny, the things that one takes for granted that everyone else knows about. I knew about them for years and thought everyone else did too. lol.. Do you know about the little tabs that you can fold inward on each end of your aluminum foil box to keep the roll from falling out of the box every time you get some? Look at your box ends, you'll see them..lol.
what??

How about the slot/hole in the end of your cooking pot handles? It's not just there to hang the thing up on. Stick the handle of your stirring spoon into it and let the other end hang over the pot. No mess and you know where it is.
Also, if your boiling pasta lay a wooden spoon across the lips of the pot. It will stop it from boiling over.

Lose stuff down between the seats often? Cut a length of 1/2" pipe insulation and stuff it down next to the seat. Solved!

Did you know that your mustard bottle has a clip back feature to capture the cap so it doesn't fall into the stream of mustard as you squeeze the bottle?

My wife has a little Buick Encore. I call it "Puddle Jumper".
About a year ago I cam out of the gas station while she was gassing up & saw the tethered cap dangling against the car. Walked up & noticed a hook on the door & showed her she can hang it up. She drove the car for 4 years & never noticed or knew it was there...

Those Mopar gas cap holders are notoriously poor in actual function.
Difficult to get the cap in, but easy for it to fall out...and it puts the cap partially in the path of the pump nozzle so it's real easy to bump and then fall.
There are many MFG that have a WAY better design.
Sorry, but FAIL for the engineering team that designed these.

The tethers on my mid 90's Dakotas are long gone!

I don't....
Yeah, thongs feel pretty creepy.....at firstNext thing you know i'll be wearing dresses and using pronouns...lol.

I think one of the main problems with the design is that the tangs don't compensate for the threads where they make contact.
I've thought about bending them each in the respective direction to see if that helps but never bothered to do it.
