Lol. This has to be staged. Nobody could be that stupid and not flip the fuck out the instant the guy with the camera shows up.

I could actually see myself doing that. It's a psychological phenomenon, motivated perception, we see what we want to see. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/between-cultures/201907/why-we-see-what-we-want-see

I'm not an overly visual guy to begin with, so you see a tank with an attachment and you need air for your tires, you can see what you wanted to see and not what it actually is.

The one I don't get, and maybe this is because I deal with cooking more than cars, is people who mistake flour for sugar and vice versa in recipes.

Does that happen? I could see mistaking salt for sugar. In fact, I think that happened with a dish I ordered at a restaurant one time, the only time I've ever sent something back.
