Family road trip on a hot day. Miles from anywhere, car reports coolant is low.
Stop at a gas station, buy coolant, pour it in, keep going, basking in the warm glow of having done a car thing like a proper grown up.
15 minutes later doubt starts to creep in that I put the cap back on the coolant tank.
Stop at rest stop, open hood and see it still nestling where I put it after taking it off. Put it back on.
Flawless victory.
