A man's domain

Ever since I was young, mum had always acted like a dad. She would change all the light bulbs in the house, settle all administration issues and even once, attempted and succeeded in fixing the toilet bowl.

So I thought since I originate from her, the skills might be genetically passed on to me. After tolerating for months about my front indicator light not working, I tried fixing it. Like a true mechanic, I took out the tool box and the car's manual. Stared at my car for a good 15mins but still can't figure out how it works. Worse still, the instructions were vaguely described in 1 paragraph and the picture shown in the manual is inconsistent with the actual one.

So trying to be smart, I compared the right indicator (the spoiled one) with the left one. With little effort, I pulled out the plastic cover of the working left indicator & it came off almost instantly. There were no screws whatsoever. After contemplating it for 30seconds, I stick it back with a shoe adhesive!!!! Laugh all you want but it works!

Don't blame me! I was desperate and there was no man in sight...

My conclusion: Women trying to understand cars are like men trying to understand women. It seems interesting at the beginning but they give up after touching it.
