    Maybe she was nervous of being patronised by hairy men in an alien environment and she just mis-spoke.

    I was servicing my sisters first car (Vauxhaul Astra 1980) She told me the tick was gone and the pisser wasn't working. ( It wouldn't tick over and the windscreen wasn't working.

    How could a windscreen be not working unless it was smashed? :confused:

    On the plus side, wasn't it great that the little woman was maintaining her car and changing her own oil and wiper blades herself.

    At least she wasn't bringing her car to a mechanic to have the bulbs changed.

    Reminds me of that joke:

    A blonde walks into a garage and asks for some 710 for her car:

    Lets not get ahead of ourseves here. She was getting 1 litre, so topping up, not changing.:)

    A friends wife went into the local factors for a shock for her car, the lad behind the counter brought it out to her and told her "That'll be €120" to which she replied, "I was looking for a shock, not a heart-attack"
    :D

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    I'm stunned she knew what type of car it was.
    At least she didn't ask for the stuff for a red/blue/white 08 car. :pac:

    Thats one thing i do know , when it comes to the VW Golf , women KNOW this car.........;)

    I read someplace else that women can master some intricate issues in their daily lives, build massive corporations, build supercomputers, break down masive complication theories

    BUT they cannot change a wheel(NOT FUPPIN TYRE LADIES), Top up Oil or for some mysterious reason fill petrol!!! :confused:

    Well I left out changing headlights/tailights because whether or not your plumbing is on the inside or the outside they can be difficult.

    Come on lads less of the generalisations.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,632 ✭✭✭ART6


    I still recall, when newly married, I had bought my wife a new (ok, second hand!) car. Feeling important I explained to her how to check the oil and water etc, lecturing her that it was important that she understood the vehicle. She listened, nodding earnestly at every explanation. "So", I said, "Have you got it?"
    "Oh yes."
    "OK, so show me how you top up the oil."
    Confidently she unscrewed the cap of the coolant expansion tank.....:D

    Don't tar us all.


    I can definitely do all of those things.

    But my boyfriend can't. So therefore, I conclude, using the logic applied in this thread, that men aren't able to.

    Nope, we're making conclusions based on multiple instances of these occurrences. You're basing it on one. So technically it's your logic that's at fault ;)

    Not many of my male mates can either ;)

    Anyway, I was just clarifying for some posters that not all women are unable to do these things.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,701 ✭✭✭Sids Not
