i would like to officially say....

so i went to save-on this earlier this evening, and on my way home, i hit something on the road, which caused my tire to flatten nearly instantaneously. luckily, i was a block away from home, so i got home, parked, and called my parents to see if they would come rescue me, as my dad is an all round great fix it kinda guy. they refused to make the drive from abby, so i figured i could pull the shit i learned in high school back form the graves and change my own damned tire. so as i hobbled my way through trying to do this, PLENTY of people drove/ walked/ biked/ roller bladed past me. not one stopped to see if i was doing ok. not one stopped to see if i needed a hand.

so....i would like to officially say:

chivalry is dead.

and if you see a poor person, male or female, stuck on the side of the road, obviously attempting to fix something thats broken, at least ask if theyre alright on their own. even if you dont know how to fix it, just asking makes the person feel a whole lot better.

peace.

If you were hot I would have stopped, especially if you were squatting down and were showing a whale tale.

well I actually stop and help a lot of folk if I have time, like if I am riding my bike I will stop and help someone fix a flat or whatever, it's no big deal and I usually don't get flats :)

I disagree.

Chivalry is alive and well. I know this cos I have complete strangers holding doors open for me, offering to help me carry my groceries home and offering me seats on the bus often enough and it's a plesant suprise. Makes me blush every time!

It only comes when you don't expect it, that's kind of the beauty of it.

This isn't about chivalry being dead, I'd say it's more about you not thinking you were capable of it yourself, and obviously you are! You should be proud of yourself, you did it without anyone else's help!

you call that chivalry?
i hold doors open for everyone, even FAT PEOPLE. i'm not trying to be chivalrous, it's common courtesy... same thing with giving up my seat on the bus.

carrying someone's groceries home though? that's kinda creepy... that's like "hey stranger, i need an excuse to follow you home"... that's not chivalry. that's STALKING.

maybe if you stood beside your car and tried to flag people down someone would have helped you. i saw a guy fixing his tire the other day, he seemed to be doing just fine so i didnt bother to stop.

you must keep in mind there are those bitchy feminist types that get offended if someone offers them help at a task such as changing a tire.

that's a good point... i've seen people with lots of groceries before and half considered offering help, but didn't want to come across as some kind of creep

I was really going to dig back in my notes and go on a big rant about how the two actually are related, but I'm kind of drunk, and way too lazy right now, so that summary will just have to do.

that sucks, I guess everyone just assumed that you were doing ok since you were attempting to do it yourself anyway.. and it's like in psychology 100 where you learn how a sense of responsibility is often diffused when there is a larger crowd of people...

as for gentlemanliness.. i think it's dumb. I have the strength to open my own doors, thankyou. and if you think of the origins of such customs..i.e: the assumption of weakness/frailness in a woman, its kind of offensive, so think it a positive thing that people assumed that you could do it by your lonesome!

i've fixed numerous flats and i don't hope some dude or hot girl for that matter is going to come fix my tire for me. it's called suck it up and get that shit done. at least you were close to home and not on the side of the highway.

you could get sued for helping someone out.
not only that, if you were helping someone out on the side of the road in richmond, u'd just risk your life getting hit by rich ass bmw/mercedes asian teen drivers who are on their cell phones like me.

yeh, i mean, i'm certainly glad i could pull my head outta my ass momentarily to fix it, rather than sit and cry about it, but not every person out there is gonna be capable of fixing things like that (heh, not everyone took car care 11), and might actually really need the hand.

this one time at work... this crummy waitress bumped into me and knocked a buncha plates outta my hand and they smashed everywhere... she just ran off and was like WHOOOPS SORRY! and then this other waitress came along and helped me out. just like a teen romance movie. then we went outside and SHE lit my cigarette for me!!!!

now that's fucking chivalry.
