Most young people would be baffled at the concept of changing a wheel, nevermind changing a tyre.
They are still at it.....
Actually no I don’t. I learnt to do all that shit myself because I had to. No doubt making a few mistakes along the way.
If only someone with experience could have helped out now and again...
I've got a friend who finds such things almost impossible, I got called once because he'd got the wheel nuts off but still couldn't remove the wheel (and had managed to cut his hand quite badly trying).
I picked up a suitable tool and drove round, asked for a bit of wood to put across the wheel so as not to damage it, hit it once with the lump hammer I'd brought with me and it fell off.
On reflection I could have probably done it with a kick, but nevertheless it was fun to see the look on his face.
I was lucky in that my dad was awesome and showed me all about cars when I bought my first mini. I started off with tappet and distributor setups, went on to head removals and ended up with fitting disk breaks, fitting a second fuel tank, rebuilding an engine, replacing subframes etc. Happy days.
Os what are they using tyre levers for ? Stumped here
I just use the lump hammer method
Then they spent 20 minutes trying to undo the wheel bolts while it was off the ground, with two of them trying to hold the wheel still while the other went at the bolt with the wrench.
I was on a call, but I figured they'd work it out before I finished. Nope.
I went out there and just as I was about to open my mouth, I got "We don't need help! Piss off, old man!".
So I just shrugged and said, "OK, but you might find it easier if you loosen the bolts while it's on the road and then jack it up..." and went back in the house.
What followed was silence, I presume of the somewhat sheepish variety.
Truth is, I had to go out and I just wanted them out of my way...
I can handle people not knowing stuff, and I don't even take the piss when they're unable to figure something out. It's the aggressively dim that I can't abide.
I get Glyn Hopkin staff park over my dropped kerb, half blocking my drive.
I started by politely asking them not to and explaining that they could get a ticket. (Only if the resident of the property reports it will Havering act, that is).
I suffered 'I'll park where I fucking want' etc twice.
Nope, I'll play mean then too.
Since then I've given Haverings Parking Wardens a lot of business.
The idiots still do it.

Fuckers. If they'd chosen better beer I could have asked for one...

I did feel a bit typically millennial though, the kind of person who buys a new printer because it's cheaper than ink cartridges for the existing one

It’s a crap thing to have to do at any time.
