Push vs. Pull

Ok, I have a beef with the English language. Push is the opposite of pull. So whose brilliant idea was it to label the words with the first two letters identically? Wouldn't it make more sense of pushing was called pushing and pulling was called inorting or something more intuitive like that? Every time I open my trunk or gas cap, the label says push for one and pull for another, and I mix them up a LOT. I can't be the only person in the world who does this. I say we should change the dictionary.
