And lets not forget it's not JUST women. A few weeks ago we had DirectTV installed. As I was on the road coming in from work, my wife called and said that the guy had had a flat tire in our driveway...No biggie, right? When I got there, the tire was STILL flat and the installer was pissed.
Told me that when they'd installed the bedliner they'd covered up the spare tire access point...Now, this was on a Ford F150 and I thought that they had the standard 'through the bumper, winch crank point'...but, this was a guy and I gave him credit for knowing what he was talking about. Dumb move on my part.
Anyway, after I drive him almost 20 miles to a tire store so he can buy another tire (on the company credit card), his boss calls him and explains to him where to find the spare tire winch point...I could hear only one side of the conversation but it sounded GOOOOD
. We go back and the guy opens the hood searching for the winch crank...fusses some and says it's not there, someone must've stolen it...Now, I'm not at all familiar with Fords but even "I" can recognize the long crank handle running across the front of the hood. After I point that out to him he sort of grunts and eventually manages to get the tire changed...All told, I wasted about 2 hours because this doofus had NO clue where his spare was or how to access it...Claimed that he was a Dodge man and that you accessed the spare from a window in the bed of the truck...Anyone know if this is true??
In my poor defense, I've never owned a ford truck, I'm a Tundra man here...I just made the mistake of assuming that because this guy was in the 'man-club' he had a clue and didn't followup on what 'sounded' to me like an incorrect assumption on this guys part...I won't repeat THAT mistake again...And I kinda suspect that neither will the installer
