Giving Girls The Cold Hard Shoulder

(I’ve bought a used car and it runs out of gas a bit before the gauge is near empty. I run out of gas on the freeway and pull over the shoulder. I call my boyfriend to bring me fuel but as he shows up, so does the county-run tow truck designed to keep the freeways clear.)

Boyfriend: “Did you call a tow truck, too?”

Me: “No, he just showed up.” *turning to the driver* “Sorry, I think we’re okay actually.”

Driver: *ignoring me, talking to my boyfriend* “Don’t worry. I’ll just add some gas to her tank. No charge.”

Boyfriend: “Well, I already brought gas so we may as well use it.”

Driver: “The females often forget to check if there car has enough gas.”

Boyfriend: “Uh…”

Me: “It’s not my fault. The car gauge showed that it still had gas.”

Driver: “The females always forget to pull their cars to the shoulder, so we have to drive around to keep the roads clear during rush hour.”

Boyfriend: “Uh…”

Me: *annoyed* “But I did pull to the shoulder!”

Boyfriend: “Uh…”

Me: “Jeez, can I get some backup?!”
