Decided to be the kind samaritan and pop out for the office milk this morning.....got milk and a huge nail in my tire in Asda
by the time I got back to the office the tire was completely flat :cry:
had to get the spare put on...the green flag guy just rolled his eyes and said he didn't know why girls find it so hard to change a tire :x
Grrr I know HOW to change one but as i cant even open my bottle of coke theres no chance I'd get the wheel nuts off let alone jack up my car and hoy car tires about!!!!

Then I got the pleasure of spending my whole lunchtime sitting in the garage on patio furniture waiting for them to fix it

several pounds later and it was all sorted
Last time I pop out for milk for a while me thinks

    Oh isn't that just the way. You do a five minute task and it all goes wrong. As for the green flag guy saying that, i'd say i'm just using the service i pay for!

    Condescending prat. If I recall correctly you are a delicate girl aren't you - not like me, tall and fat, thanks to a 6' 4" father and daily steroids. I hope you sweetly pointed out that he would struggle with giving birth, something you have managed without breaking sweat - OK, probably not quite true but you get my drift! I hope it is all fixed now and that your teas and coffees taste even better. DD

    Chrissie, Green Flag obviously breed em!

    During last Winter`s awful weather, my battery died on me, right in the middle of Tesco car park.

    When he arrived, the Green Flag man said "Didn`t you think to have your battery checked in this weather"? I was freezing, and in pain, so I replied "What, and ruin your opinion of women in general. My car, I drive it, you fix it!".......Ange.

    Hi Chrissie

    Oh flat tyres - such a pain. I had one a few weeks ago. I went away for the weekend and also had a massive nail in it. Luckily someone changed it for me. But then I had to drive home - only doing 40 mph as it was a temporary tyre and I had to drive down dual carriageways for about 50 miles. It was so dangerous - I was waiting for someone to bump into the back of me.

    OH Chrissie,

    what a prat! (not you the green flag man :wink: )

    perhaps he'd like to try swapping places for half an hour? no .... thought not :roll:

    why does he think he's got a job :? :? if it wasn't for all of us paying to be in the service then he'd be out of work :roll: :roll: :roll:

    sorry your day was one of those that go down on the list of ones to remember for all the wrong reasons :(

    hugs for a better day tomorrow

    High Wonky, high girls

    Sorry you have had such aggrevations. I have to listen to my OH joking about me being too short to reach to top shelvesin the kitchen. Just because he is tall and planned the kitchen long before I married him, it's not fair. Men are so tackless at times.

    Joy
