it sucks, to be sure.
i spent 20 years in that hellscape. it makes people go mad.
as to the random burns from surfaces - one might keep oven mitts in the car in order to be able to touch the steering wheel after having parked in the high heat and full sun. a car’s interior temp could hit highs over 150F/66C. ouch!
i hated that place!
