22. In a way, they have a point. It reminds me of a funny story.
My sister used to refuse to pump her own gas (she does it now). So we're getting gas in her car, and I told her that I'd pump it for her. I get out and I absolutely cannot open the cap. It has instructions on it to press and turn. It won't come off and won't come off. So she gets out and tries, too - of course since she didn't pump her own gas, she didn't know how either. We tried for about five minutes. Finally, I had to swallow my pride and go ask the guy in the station to do it (I was so-o embarrassed). The guy comes out, COMPLETELY IGNORES THE INSTRUCTIONS, turns the cap without pressing it in and it pops right off. By then we were both as red as beets. I'm sure he got a laugh out of it later. I still don't know WHY it had those wrong instructions, but it just goes to show.
