What a lovely opinion I have of car repair! But seriously, when the guy says "that'll be $800", what am I supposed to do? Grin?
Oh, all right! From all indications, it probably won't be $800. But still...I wish I could reserve the right to call "Helpless Female!" in this situation, but alas, there is no one in the house to do this dirty work. What I wouldn't give to be able to bat my eyes at some sweet man sitting next to me and say, "Honey, my car is making a hideous noise. Would you be a dear?"
Some might say I'm setting the women's movement back several years by doing this--I say, I'm just being thrifty. A guy gets a better deal in a repair shop, don't deny it!
I suppose if my skirt is short enough, it could work the opposite way....hmmm.
Never mind...I'm not really up for getting trampy on a Monday. Or ever.
Stupid car...
Oooh, trampy on a Monday.
ReplyDeleteYou have the Best. Ideas!!!!!
hehe
Turns out trampy was not what the situation called for--it was really more of a Godfather thing. Not that I was going to break any kneecaps...
ReplyDeleteI hate it when you have to be a hard-ass to get people to respect your time (and money), but it's necessary sometimes.
