retractable

I can tell when someone hasn't used a DEF pump for diesel vehicles. The hose not retracting on DEF pumps happen pretty often. They also try to retract while pumping making filling DEF a 2 hands required operation.

I hope that whoever designed DEF pumps will step barefoot on a lego block daily.

It would need to be a better design than that! Even a hanging loop behind a door would be better than that.

The level 2 charge point chargers that are retractable I've seen twisted and turned into knots. Sometimes the retractor on those are broken and the car parked in the neighboring stall parked on top of the cable I wanted to use.

As EV adoption increases, the amount of asshole and indifferent behavior is also increasing. Any design with moving parts will need to take that into account
