Women and Mechanics

I am currently sitting in the mechanics shop getting an oil change and transmission flush on my pretty little car. I just wanted to write my random thoughts on mechanics and how they deal with women sometimes. I have had more than enough encounters with men who think that women know absolutely nothing about cars and how they work. I will admit, i am not the most learned about how the vehicle works but i definitely know more than the average "Hehehe oops! i just broke a nail" kinda gal. Even though sometimes it may seem that i am. Growing up a farm-ish girl has really helped me to understand the basics of a car and how it works. I think it is so frustrating when a mechanic talks to me like i know absolutely nothing, then they think they can say all these big words and charge my more than my bank account holds at the time. Sometimes, i get suspicious if they call the bank and see how much i have, that way they can charge me for THAT amount! But, i know of course that is wrong and they "are only doing their job." I really makes me feel good when i can respond to their ramblings with my own knowledge and catch them off guard. Oh man, do i feel like $100 after that! Its kinda like, HA TAKE THAT! lol

anyways, that is how i feel about that! don't judge me, i just don't like being treated as if i don't know anything.
