Most women have very little "Mechanical Empathy." That's the term we coined on BITOG. So often, they don't sense what they are doing with a piece of equipment is wasteful or abusive.
And we all know how popular thinking is these days.
I saw a woman a couple months ago in a Walmart parking lot. She was in an older, black Ford F-150 and she was waiting for a family to get their stuff together and pull out of a spot right up front. This was taking a while. I pulled around this whole scene and parked towards the back of the lot. I then walked into the store and there was this clueless woman still waiting, still idling her truck waiting for this 'premium' spot to open up.
Some people don't have the sense of a common dog.
