letting down the sisterhood
Jump to: Newest in thread
I'm sorry sisters, I have let you all down and shamed myself - must do penance! 
I got a flat tyre in the middle of nowhere and was in the process of changing it but I couldn't loosen the wheel nuts. I even tried bouncing on the lever (tricky in kitten heels and a short skirt!) 
So I had to stand by the side of the road and flag down a random man to assist the pathetic girlie
(nb: was on a country lane with no mobile signal, couldn't even ring the recovery peeps)
Have you ever let the gender side down?
What do I need to do to reaffirm my place as a modern independent woman?  |

think you should go buy a shed and fill it with stuff that you never plan on using..
if men can do it, so can us women
failing that start a random home improvement and then finish the job. men never finish what they start  |

I'd say top marks for even attempting to change it.... most women would just sit in the car, checking their make up until a knight in a shiny 4x4 stopped to help  |

It was a (male) numpty in a shiny 4by4 that caused it by driving down the middle of the road and not moving so I had to swerve and hit the kerb!
This has happened before ( not being able to undo the wheel nuts) and it's embarrassing! |

Wishes I lived closer to sheffield lol. I have plenty of tools, axle stands, jack, electric impact gun to loosen wheel nuts, to change the spare,if that dont help, I have a can of Tyre Weld & inflating device, if your car doesnt have a spare, or in my case the spare is already knackered lol.
I must get that fixed.
But Ive never had to use any of them yet!!
Keeps on wishing to rescue a damsel in distress, or just one that dont just tell me to fook off!! lol.
Yes there are plenty of puns left wide open there ladies & gents.

I used to be married and had gone straight from living with my mum to living with the hubby. He did all the DIY and car stuff. When we broke up I had two embarrassing incidents:
1. The light bulb blew in the bedroom. I had to call my friend around who explained about screw tops and bayonets and showed me how to change it.
2. A strange rattling noise was coming from the boot. I called the ex to ask if he could have a look and see what was wrong - seems I hadn't shut the boot properly!! |

Well you certainly dont seem to having any problems making nuts tighten |

just saying if i had a puncture first thing id do is dial up the AA, id not attempt it. If i didn't have signal i guess i would have tried too if all other avenue's of seeking help failed. |

If I had the signal I would phone the AA straight off too, I wouldn't even attempt it myself. That's what I pay membership for. Plus I am crap with cars. |

Note to self: trying to impress the hottie in the sports car by racing him at the lights is neither big nor clever when the steering's f*cked from hitting the kerb and having a doughnut instead of q front tyre
He looked really nervous as.I swerved towards him at speed!  |

I'd ordered some wall and floor tiles which the wanker of a delivered driver wouldn't lift of the pallet...bad back allegedly. I knocked on my next door neighbours house and asked if I could borrow his builders to unpack my tiles.
Chris and his four builders unpacked the tiles into the porch whilst I berated the driver. I said good job Tesco drivers don't have the same ethos as I'd have to unpack my own shopping. Lazy barstard did start to help but I told him not to bother.
Had male friends hang my curtains, change light bulbs, put my lawn mower etc together.
Funny how men can't resist a damsel in distress even when said damsel looked as fragile as a rotweiller!

Woman after my own heart. Have what looks like the hanging gardens growing out of the guttering. Have a friend coming to clear it, will make him a strong brew and give him a warm smile...my generosity knows no bounds! |

I was 44 when I left my husband and the first time in my life I needed to buy bulbs was when I was 45/46. I had absolutely no clue what screw top or bayonet was. Naturally I bought all bayonet but needed screw tops.
That said, my husband did all the shopping and cooking too, struggled with my first shop, got bored and pissed off and didn't buy half of what I needed.

My ex husband answered the phone to my mother with a squealing baby in his arms, totally harassed as he was also keeping an eye on the roast dinner I had on the go.
My mum was disgusted with me and asked him what the hell was I doing?
He replied, "she's laying a new carpet on the stairs". |

Got to admit, this little tale really did make me laugh, thanks for sharing that embarressing little tale... |

Grow some balls! Or start lifting weights! lol
Or an extendable pipe that will fit over the wrench so making it easier to slacken the wheel nuts due to the force required with leverage principles.

You didn't see me bouncing on the wheel brace in kitten heels and a little summer dress!
Have got a longer wheel brace on order... |

I don't think it's a male/ female issue. We can't be experts at everything, why feel bad if we can't do something?
I'd call the AA if I had a flat tyre. I'd call a plumber if a tap was leaking. However I do my own wall papering and I can cook a mean roast chicken. I also mow the lawn and can change the fuse in plugs. |

to be fair they'd have been put on with an air gun...I know how to change a wheel, but I know I'd struggle to get the wheel bolts off so would probably ring roadside to save me from injuring myself! x |

Think its is commonly referred to as "business sense" or "making the most of your assets" - nothing wrong with it - no penance required |

I admit Im awful, I understand engines and can figure out what is up (9 times out of 10) as my dad was a mechanic, but I have no idea how to change a tyre I can do diy etc ( a hammer helpps a lot ) but I cant bake a cake or even boil rice without burning it. Im an awful domestic goddess and an awful modern woman |
