skymama 35 #1 December 8, 2003 Yesterday the kids and I brought home our Christmas tree and realized that the guy at the store didn't cut off enough branches for us. Not having a saw, I looked across the street and saw that my new neighbor was in his garage. I sauntered over there, introduced myself and chatted for a few minutes, then finally got to the reason I came over in the first place. He said, "sure I have one, will this work?", and handed me a saw. I said, "Gee, I don't know....I haven't sawed too many things in my life. Will this cut through the tree branches?" Being the chilvarous man, he promptly volunteered to do it for me! I didn't tell him that my entire family is in construction and I've seen a few saws in my day. A little while later, my son and I were outside putting up Christmas lights. One of the other neighbor men came up to me and started chatting about my grass. He seemed to think that I wasn't watering it enough. I sighed and said, "I know, I just can't figure out that timer for it though." (That means I looked at it once, took one look at all the dials and instructions on it and decided I didn't want to mess with it! ) He spent the next 45 minutes with me checking out all my watering zones, setting the timer correctly, adjusting the height on my lawn mower blades and offering his fertilizer spreader, weed wacker and blower to me whenever I needed it! Aren't my new neighbors just the nicest guys and so neighborly? In my defense, I never asked them to do anything....they volunteered!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's an art when you can sucker them and not let them realize that they've been suckered.

LouDiamond 1 #16 December 8, 2003 I think there may be a little back arching going on with the eyelash flutter bit. At that rate though, you should probably open the hood of your car and have one of them come over and make sure you don't have tar growing in your oil pan and fill up all them pretty tupper ware containers for you WORK IT BABY , WORK IT!"It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #17 December 8, 2003 LOL... My experience has been just the opposite! well, sorta... Ever since an oil place screwed up and put the wrong weight oil in my car, I like to change the oil myself. Its just a little ford escort, so its easy enough, and its better than paying the $30 at Jiffy Lube for ten or 15 minutes worth of work, saves me the drive across town, and I have plenty of space to work in my carport at my apartment complex. Seems pretty easy, right? except... people won't just leave me alone to muck around underneath my car in peace! The first couple of times, it was kinda sweet, and when I said no, they watched anyway, to make sure I didn't do something stupid, I guess (I didn't. I know how to change oil. Dad made sure of that one)... but every two minutes, its "can I help you with that?" and I have to drag myself out from under the car and say "nope. I can do it, thanks." Then Mr. Helpful goes away, and two minutes later, another one is asking "do you need help?" It got to the point where I hung a sign that said "I am changing the oil. Yes, I know how. No, I don't need help." and even then, they kept asking... I don't know if there's something attractive about a woman in coveralls with grease in her hair or what, but its freakin annoying, to the point that the last two times my car's needed an oil change, I've just taken it in to the shop! sigh. don't get me wrong... I like chivalry. I really do... but sometimes it goes too far! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #24 December 8, 2003 You innocent soccer mom, you... Honestly, I think that men like to do these things sometimes, especially for someone as sweet and pretty as you, Andrea. It makes them feel manly, and, technically, they DID volunteer. I always appreciate these actions, and I always think highly of the men who help to carry my bags, etc. YAY for the chivalrous men in our lives!~ Many times, because of my size and gender, men (and bigger women, too!) offer to do things for me that they would never do for other people. This has, in the past, alienated me from some women. For instance, when I was learning to scuba dive, all the men and women were so much bigger than me that my instructor would make me take care of the organizing, instead of handling everyone's heavy gear, like the others. My roommate was a tall, very strong chick who was pretty mad/jealous. I did all MY grunt work, but she was very catty to me in our room, anyway. Back then, I still tried to do as much as possible to fit in with the men, so as not to piss off the women. Now, I am a little older and wiser. If women have a problem with how men cater to me, that is not my problem. I have found that no matter what I do, those same women will find fault with something...anything...that I do. The real friendly females, don't care either way! Those women, along with most men, are the ones that I call my friends.
