The owner of the lingerie store next door gives women a bad name IMHO. She's one of those women that acts all helpless and needs men to fix things for her.
Today she came into our store in a panic, one of the fuses had blown and she didn't dare to switch it on again (it's as simple as flicking a switch with the newer fuse boxes). The worst that can happen is that the thing switches off again if there's a short circuit somewhere, but chances are it switched off because a light bulb blew (which was the case).
She also thinks women are incapable of hooking up a telephone (inserting the cord into the phone and the other end into the wall socket), replace a broken lightbulb, when the clock changes twice a year my father has to go over to change both her wall clock and the clock that automatically switches the store lights on and off. She also thinks the council is responsible for keeping her bit of sidewalk clean of dirt and snow/ice (I know for sure that she's responsible for the latter one).
There are so many women, me included, that do try to do things themselves and not be (too) dependant on men. I feel women like her make life harder for women who do try.
