I weep for this world...

Was a courier driver 20 years back,hit a kerb on round-about,splitting tyre not long before due to return to base. Panic set in.

New i had buckleys chance of figuring out how to do it myself,never mind finding where the jack was kept. Luckily spotted bloke in front garden across the road and bob's your uncle was back on the road in a jiffy. It's not that hard ladies.

Paid the bloke with a pineapple,seemed quite content.

Bizarrely enough this is almost exactly what happened to me two nights ago. Heard someone walking down the path and calling out "Hello?". Turns out he was a 20-year old vietnamese lad, who had just spun out, hit the kerb, split his tyre, and had no idea how to change it.

So I was very careful not to physically do the job myself, I just gave him instruction as I watched on and got him to do everything... so now he knows how to change a tyre.

Amazing how many people don't know how to do it.

Why is this being red-thumbed? Come on, as a guy you're supposed to help ladies. It's rewarding for all parties. What the hell has the world come to?

...Peter?

That's the first thing I taught my (then) 17yo daughter when she got her first car... spent an hour telling her all the tips & tricks, including pulling as far off the road as you can etc... made her do everything.

Even got my wife to change a wheel on our GQ Patrol (in the driveway), before this became her daily drive.

Lost count of the amount of tyre/wheel changes I have done for women - posh ladies in a BMW who offered me $15?! and a lady with a very young baby who was clearly distressed...

Might be sexist, but I won't pull over for a bloke... IMO they should know how to do it.

A mates mate once stopped and tried to help a young lady on the freeway south. Anyway car couldn't be fixed so he dropped her home as it was right past were he was driving. So a very grateful young lady said she would have to repay him and blew his tyre if you get my drift..

Anyway my mate was so excited for his mate he later noticed a lady broke down so proceeded to stop and drop her home. He drove 45 min out of his way and to his dismay nothing.. He was gutted. But as i pointed out maybe picking up a young mum who has her kid with her was not such a sure thing as he thought

100% true story..

Hey Suba you got your tyre changed yet

She was probably beaten with an ugly stick, 135kg, missing teeth and a dude!

Pass!

What???
You mean you know all about the WTC conspiracy and yet you know nothing about how to change a car tyre?
Some might think that is inconsistent but on careful thought, I have a feeling that you know about the same amount on both topics, which makes it entirely consistent.

Did you consider removing the damaged one with a micro nuke?
(sorry,.. couldn't help myself )

You wouldnt wreck a good fishing rod would you?!? Jeez

Sadly it wasn't me but i will say i always look at women broken down in a different way Story goes she was not that bad. In fact he had a few more interactions with her after that first night. He eventually stopped as felt bad as she was married

She only had the four tyres to change?


**nice one on the fishing rod pickup.....

How can you get a driver's licence without a basic understanding of how to change a wheel, check tyre pressures etc?

I have them tires

"it"
did I get it right.

people are dumb

It's always good to lend a hand guys, yes teaching is the prefered way but sometimes those pesky wheel nuts are just too tight for the weaker sex.
lighten up you bastards

Drive that flat tyre **** around for a week before it starts taking chunks out of the road and sparking.
If your a a hot looking women the cops would change if for you when they pull you up.
