Maybe no body ever showed them how or they don't want to get their clothes dirty. everyone should know how to change a tire check oil , etc ........

Okay, you old truck driver. When I was in my twenties I learned to drive and to change my own tires. I even started an auto mechanics class and changed my oil, learned about carbuerators, and how you could sometimes get a car started that way, by taking them off and letting extra air in. And I even got my cousin's lawn mower started just thinking if it worked on one it might work on the other. I learned to change a battery and I really enjoyed it all, but then my dad bought me a new car and I figured it was in too good of condition for me to mess with.
Now, cars are so complicated, and I'm a lot older, and we women, especially, have pretty much been warned not to get out of a car if you get stuck because of predators on the highways, but I just wanted you to know, that I'm definitely a city gal, but when I had the chance I learned and did what I could on my own.

Why do country folks have no clue on how to use an escalator. Every time i go to a subway i see some country guy being afraid to get on and then afraid to get off.
It simple: step on , step off.

Because there's the facility of towtrucks, literally a call away. It's a matter of convenience. And most city people aren't really bothered to learn how to handle such emergencies.

It is better to have someone who knows what they are doing with a flat tire. My husband tried, the jack slipped and broke his knee cap. Sorry, I would rather pay the bucks.

usually i'm in an exceedingly reliable temper and on those days i could giggle. No reason to be offended or cry. Then i could call AAA or my boyfriend or dad or somebody to return help me confirm what replaced into incorrect. i could be somewhat pissed off if i replaced into already in a undesirable temper. yet there isn't any one to be mad at yet myself. it extremely is my motor vehicle, suitable? I could save it in working order. and each each and every now and then those issues can not be helped.

Okay. It's just because they'd rather not get dirty by doing work themselves and get somebody else to do it.
