Salesman: The driver's side, but with the amount of time between fills, you could easily forget what side it's on.

The couple is in their Prius waiting at a busy gas station for a
chance to fill up their vehicle. All the pumps are full and the couple
is just sitting there waiting. The husband is driving.
They are next in line and a vehicle starts to move. A big truck is
waiting behind them with a gruff looking driver who is impatient. Wife: We're up. What side is the tank on again?
The husband gets a horrified look on his face. Dramatic music
starts to play. He looks at his wife. She sees the horrified look on
his face and she gets a horrified look as well.
The husband looks in his rear view mirror and sees the big man
getting impatient and making gestures.
The couple flashback to the salesman delivering the vehilce. The
line he says is in slow motion and said slower this time. Salesman: (in flashback, slower) You could easily forget what side it's on.
The flashback is interrupted by the gruff man honking his horn
and flailing his arms.
The husband looks down at his dash and notices there is an arrow
notifying which side the tank is on and he's relieved. He pulls up
to the pump and starts pumping. Voiceover: Start working on your gas tank amnesia at Generic Toyota in Anytown
