Twisted seat belt

Cannot figure out how to keep the seat belt from twisting. Can't figure out how it gets twisted when I am out of the car either. I think there might be a little gremlin that waits until I am not looking and flips it over!

Doesn't matter if I route through the shoulder loop or not - there always seems to be a twist when I get in.

It's actually former shoe elves that now live deep within the cars themselves. After the collapse of the Industrial Revolution, and robots and chinese babies took over shoe making, many former shoe elves were forced into early retirement or had to find other work. Toyota took it upon themselves to hire some of these former shoe elves to work within their cars to disrupt tiny things within the vehicles so that individuals employed in Service Departments always have something to keep them busy

It's the crickets, they got bored sitting around so they decided to mess with your seat belt.
