I know a couple of women within my family that would be outraged at this. However they would be hard pressed to prove it wrong. They are also the same ones that will go to the store and spend thirty minutes looking at the labels on a brand name and the stores brand to see the difference. The labels will be identical yet they will stare at them as if the labels will mysteriously change by looking at them long enough. Then on to the price difference of a dollar and another thirty minutes to decide which one they want.
lmao!
My ex would have done the man version with the open door and singing very loud. Oh and the hand brake. But that would have been on since leaving the house.
Nope! I’m not THAT OCD.
I’d be following the male version of the instructions. And I can align my car’s gas tank cap at the gas station with the hose, on the correct side of the car BTW, the first time I pull up!! No do overs . . .
. . .
Me, too. 🙂
i would say no trencher would have this problem. That said, i have done some pretty dingy things in the past, and will probably continue to in the future. 🙂
Speaking of which…one of my biggest gripes with auto makers is that they don’t all place the filler caps on the same side. Why is that so hard? I hate trying to pull into a busy gas station and find one car nose to nose with mine because the caps on the opposite side. One of us then has to maneuver around the other to leave.
I’m sure the author can give a similar comical story about the differences between men and woman using the bathroom. I’m laughing just thinking about it.
