"PLEASE TELL ME..."

scumbagskool · 2015-02-27T01:41:47+00:00

If I were driving by and saw a stranger with a flat and with their spare and jack next to the flat I would stop and help.

If I saw someone standing there taking a picture with their cell phone I'm going to assume they already have help on the way. If they were just talking on the phone I would probably still stop and ask.

Saucymeatballs · 2015-02-26T22:11:47+00:00

Maybe they're honking because you're in the middle of the road taking a picture of your truck with a flat tire.

I went to the store and bought some groceries. It was a nice day so I went to the park and decided I would cook some burgers on one of the park grills. 7 ADULT WOMEN walked by and not one of them offered to cook my food for me. Can you believe the nerve of these women?

jessers25 · 2015-02-26T23:50:52+00:00

Because if you're old enough to drive a car, you're old enough to change a tire.

baobrain · 2015-02-27T01:43:12+00:00

It's as if she lowers herself to the point of being unable to change a tire.

Also, if she has time to take a godamn photo and post it onto facebook with a long description like that, she has time to google "how to change a tire".

mongoosedog12 · 2015-02-26T23:27:58+00:00

I thought it was standard practice for dads to teach their daughters how to change a tire. So they don't have to rely on others when they are in a jam.

this is so fucking stupid and entitled. I know girls like this and it annoys the living shit out of me that's a basic skill.

Cosmic_Bard · 2015-02-26T22:37:37+00:00

If you own/operate a vehicle, you should understand how all the essential parts work.

That includes knowledge on how to change a tire.

Why does the flat look so weird? Almost like... a bad photoshop?

Can_not_Be_Repaired · 2015-02-27T12:11:13+00:00

I forced my wife to learn how to change a tire. Last one that was flat I refused to change unless she helped. People will be writing ballads of the battle we had, but I wouldn't back down. I was called many names, I was told it was a mans job, I heard that some guy will always help her, etc. Finally she helped and learned how to change it. That night I overhear her on the phone bragging to her sister that she changed her own tire.

DrowningInFeces · 2015-02-27T00:41:21+00:00

Its funny how women nowadays only want men to be "men" when it can benefit them. Mostly when they want someone to whoop ass for them or change tires or buy dinner. Pfffftttt. Fuck that shit. Well, I would do all that for my gf but she doesnt expect pussy passes cuz she is cool.

Tawnybro · 2015-02-27T02:17:36+00:00

As a tow truck driver I've gotten a call to change a tire where the car was in the middle of a turning lane parked and Locked and the owner was nowhere to be seen. When they did get there they walked back and forth across an icy and quite busy street. They just expected me to change it right in the middle of te road. I just can't believe the idiocy of people.

Nexyna · 2015-02-27T02:55:38+00:00

I could just be looking at it weird, but it looks like she's on gravel.

afdd931 · 2015-02-27T03:33:10+00:00

She obviously haven't mastered the spell to summon white knights.

DonArturo · 2015-02-27T10:19:03+00:00

The lemon-colored MG skids across the road and the woman driver brings it to a somewhat uncertain halt. She gets out and finds her left front tyre flat. Without wasting a moment she prepares to fix it: she looks towards the passing cars as if expecting someone. Recognizing this standard international sign of woman in distress ("weak female let down my by male technology"), a station wagon draws up. The driver sees what is wrong at a glance and says comfortingly, "Don't worry. We'll fix that in a jiffy."

To prove his determination, he asks for her jack. He does not ask if she is capable of changing the tire herself because he knows — she is about thirty, smartly dressed and made-up — that she is not. Since she cannot find a jack, he fetches his own, together with his other tools. Five minutes later the job is done and the punctured tire properly stowed.

His hands are covered with grease. She offers him an embroidered handkerchief, which he politely refuses. He has a rag for such occasions in his tool box. The woman thanks him profusely, apologizing for her "typically feminine" helplessness. She might have been there till dusk, she says, had he not stopped. He makes no reply and, as she gets back into the car, gallantly shuts the door for her. Through the wound-down window he advises her to have her tire patched at once and she promises to get her garage man to see to it that very evening. Then she drives off.

As the man collects his tools and goes back to his own car, he wishes he could wash his hands. His shoes — he has been standing in the mud while changing the tire — are not as clean as they should be (he is a salesman). What is more, he will have to hurry to keep his next appointment. As he starts the engine he thinks, "Women! One's more stupid than the next".

He wonders what she would have done if he had not been there to help. He puts his foot on the accelerator and drives off — faster than usual. There is the delay to make up. After a while he starts to hum to himself. In a way, he is happy.

Almost any man would have behaved in the same way — and so would most women. Without thinking, simply because men are men and women are so different from them, a woman will make use of a man whenever there is an opportunity. What else could the woman have done when her car broke down?

She has been taught to get a man to help. Thanks to his knowledge he was able to change the tire quickly — and at no cost to herself. True, he ruined his clothes, put his business in jeopardy, and endangered his own life by driving too fast afterwards. Had he found something else wrong with her car, however, he would have repaired that, too. That is what his knowledge of cars is for. Why should a woman learn to change a flat when the opposite sex (half the world's population) is able and willing to do it for her?

Is it me or does that 'flat tire' look photoshopped? Something doesn't seem right about it

Gibtohom · 2015-02-27T10:39:18+00:00

I would not have a problem with what she posted if she had just written 7 people drove past me without stopping. The fact that she expects men to drop everything around them and help just because of the fact they are men is wrong. I do have to say though it is just nice to help people if her message was about how people are assholes and never help each other id be like yeah fair point. Except this is about men needing to help her.

Quatroking · 2015-02-27T12:38:49+00:00

Spoiler: I DON'T DRIVE A CAR, NOR HAVE A LICENSE, NOR OWN A CAR

Don't you just lift the car up with the lifty tool, unbolt the wheel, pop on the replacement wheel you're supposed to have in your car, bolt it on properly and put the car back on the ground?

village_lunatic · 2015-02-27T12:54:11+00:00

Bet if she was walking past my house, and I stuck my head out the window and said I needed help making dinner, she'd flip me off and go the other way.

$20 says if some guy that looked like me came along to help shed have said nothing was wrong.

raidergreymoon · 2015-02-27T09:35:08+00:00

I think she is bullshitting. It could be gravel, but even if it is gravel that tire isn't even flat. It look like a truck parked in a driveway with the wheel photo shopped. Obviously just grabbing for attention. Don't give them what they want.

bizort · 2015-02-27T12:54:33+00:00

My brother had a flat and neither of us knew how to change a tire. We had no father or any sort of father figure growing up and it just never came up. I politely approached a man who was in his yard and asked if he could help us out. He showed us (it was incredibly simple) and we were on our way.

What we didn't do was act entitled by the people who drove by and didn't help us, feeling like these people, who are probably busy and on their way to work, owed us their time and effort.

The entitlement of some women is incredible. Not all, or even most, of course, but god damn

Goat-headed-boy · 2015-02-27T13:17:09+00:00

Good thing a woman stopped and changed it for her; otherwise her statement is incredibly invalid.

YouveBeenMillered · 2015-02-27T13:50:04+00:00

This sounds like my ex. I changed so many tires for that woman. It was worth it because my pussy pass was never denied.

Coolfuckingname · 2015-02-27T17:34:09+00:00

I stopped with 4 people in my car (on the way to a concert) to help jumpstart a black girl and her friend in Oakland Ca BY THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY.

15 minutes later after her car is started, and i tell her she might need a new battery, she says, "Yeah, this happens all the time" and gets in her car and drives away, without so much as a 'Thanks'.

I dont know if this is a female thing, or black thing, or young person thing, or oakland thing, but it really sucked and made me cynical about going out of my way to help people anymore.

tldr. Fuck this lady and her entitlement. We live in a feminist nation now and that means men dont owe you help with something you can do yourself, or hire someone to help you. We might stop, but we dont owe you anything.

Zooph · 2015-02-27T02:51:38+00:00

"PLEASE TELL ME..." why this woman doesn't have AAA...

DarkDubzs · 2015-02-27T06:32:16+00:00

It's not even because she's a woman, anyone that expects the world to stop for them can go fuck themselves. It's not our fault or business. Maybe if you are in a really dark time and going through a lot of shit, yeah, some people should come together to help you out as an act of kindness and to help a fellow person. How smug and self centered do you have to be that you think you are so damn important that everyone around you has to bend over backwards for you or even just go out of their way for something so small? Yeah, it would be cool for someone to help another out, but don't count on it and expect it, just take care of your shit and if someone happens to feel like helping, awesome.

williamorange · 2015-02-27T07:55:52+00:00

I'm calling BS on this--The chain used secure the spare is completely lowered and the spare has been removed.

jimmyzed73 · 2015-02-27T13:26:14+00:00

It's a shame people don't know such basic skills. What's worse is that they are posting complaints, instead of using a powerful, handheld device that can access the entire interwebs. Possibly even having the capability of showing you a video tutorial of how to change a fucking tire on the exact same car you have.

LB1MANWOLFPACK · 2015-02-27T18:31:07+00:00

I would probably help but if you drive a car you should know basic stuff like changing a tire and should be able to do it without someones help. I wonder how many women offer to help guys with flat tire tho.

mycatatemyface · 2015-03-01T03:51:43+00:00

Nooo. Is this legit? It's so delicious i want to bath in it!

TRPLeftist · 2015-03-06T23:17:49+00:00

If she actually had someone stop and help then it would have been "Guys stopped to help me because they think because I am a woman I can't change my own tire."

To be honest I have no idea how to change a tyre. Probably should learn how to do that...

DoItLive247 · 2015-02-27T15:57:16+00:00

IF she doesn't want to learn, she should have called AAA.

evilkenevil · 2015-02-27T17:44:31+00:00

Old guy here. In times past I would have stopped to help without hesitation. In the last 10 years no way. Everybody is equal. Unless you're driving an interesting car I ain't stopping for shit. Damn I'm really loving living in an equal society.

The_Punned_It · 2015-02-27T17:52:01+00:00

I changed a flat by myself at 17 with no prior experience. To me this means that she is either painfully stupid or painfully lazy.

Murtank · 2015-02-27T17:55:49+00:00

Bitch if you dont want to change your own tire pay the 5 bucks a month to join AAA

vivalafica · 2015-02-27T18:05:06+00:00

Because if someone came and spoke to you it would end up with a video titled '10 hours of sitting beside the road in silence.'

If you can't change a flat you shouldn't be driving.

uberalles2 · 2015-03-03T00:30:28+00:00

Whenever I have the urge to help a woman with a flat I have to remember not to insult them by not considering them equal to a man. you can consider the feminist movement a success. You win.

irishmickguard · 2015-02-27T07:19:04+00:00

To be fair I'd like to think I would stop to help ANYONE in this situation. I'm a guy and I need help with changing tyres sometimes. Not helping this woman isn't denying a pussypass, it's denying another person some help.

StabStabby-From-Afar · 2015-02-27T18:41:59+00:00

I'm a woman who legitimately loves getting help from men because... they're great at that.

I understand that it's wrong to expect it, but is it wrong to want it?

Blacktoll · 2015-02-27T01:20:00+00:00

It is kind of a shame no one helped her out, though.
