Default WHY won't women do as they are told?

Wife's car hit by a footy at work, smashed the passenger side door mirror off.
Her secretary rings me, asks what to do, as it's hanging off by the wires, should she cut the wires?

I told her no, and to ring the RAC for which we pay good money, to make the car driveable. (It's like a 40 mile round trip from home so I declined to go and sort it).

She gets home announces they never rang the RAC, some random guy, one of her staff's husbands, came and saw to it

He never got it off, left it dangling inside, half the doorcard off, bits of trim broken etc etc.

I've had to spend half an hour today getting new trim bits off a scrapper, cost me £1 too.

Wife wants to know if I'll send the guy an e-mail thanking him

Bloody women

It is not a gender issue. Some men also have their brain planted upside down inside their skulls.

On a lighter note, I will tell you a sexist story.

Once there was a man and a wife.
Man would ask her to cook, she would register the message opposite, and wait for him to cook instead. Man would ask her to clean, she would instead throw the rubbish all over the place. He was seriously fed up. He had had enough. So one day, he told his missus not to go to bathe in the river. What did she do? She went to do so with twice as zeal, and drowned herself Husband knew she couldn't swim.

Next time, force your wife to call her one of the staff's husband to fix the car. Bet she will call RAC

That random guy must be a *****!

If my missus phoned me up and said come and fix a random womans car, even though she has a husband of her own and RAC membership, i would have have laughed down the phone, then hung up!

"WHY won't women do as they are told?"


because men are no longer allowed to discipline them anymore.

I think this is another case of not understanding each others needs.
Woman needs to show of to her friends that her man can fix it.
Man needs peace, which he has paid for.
Second woman wants to show of her man. Second man still pu$$y whipped (must be a relatively new relationship).
Second woman rubs it in first woman’s face, first woman, rubs in first mans face.
Meanwhile car fooked and every body pissed off.

The bloke was probably dragged in by his wife to come and mend it against his wishes and maybe he wasn't a particularly resourceful bloke anyway.

Ring the RAC because of a broken mirror? Are you real?!

Why didn't someone just have the sense to gaffer tape it to the side window glass so it didn't flap around on the journey home

I'm afraid so: this was a woman, she didn't have gaffer tape and wouldn't know where to buy it, plus she pays quite a lot of money to the RAC to have help when out in the car away from me.

As it stood, the car WAS undrivable.safely, anyway.

This was at an infant/junior school: no gaffer tape, most of the lasses there wouldn't know what it was. She had to drive 20 miles home with it flapping?

So why does she pay out good money for the RAC if not for stuff like this?

Surely you know by know TT that a woman always knows best, and if she turns out to be wrong-its your fault anyway!
