[QUOTE="CynicalContrarian, post: 1147085, member: 10063"] I ditched a friendship with a chick after a tedious road trip. She had already planned to go to a particular location during said road trip & as we proceeded on this one dirt track, I knew we'd encounter difficulty as the track was quickly switching to beach type sand. I stopped the car & put my foot down that we would not continue as there was no possible way we'd make it to that location anyway. Yet..., to late. The car bogged. It was frustrating at the time, yet I wasn't actually all that upset in the end, cause having watched so many travel / off-road TV shows where folk are bogged, I always wondered just how much hassle would be involved to recover a vehicle when bogged. One can know all the steps & have all the gear, it's another matter to actually experience the situation in full. We were never in any serious danger. We weren't that far from a small nearby town & did get the car going again in short order. All the while, I learned a distinct life lesson of just how much dirt & sand one must move away from a bogged tyre before a car will go anywhere, even with sticks & solid objects placed underneath the tyre. Then later on as we continued on our journey I asked her what she would have done had I never joined her on that particular road trip & she had been alone. Knowing she intended to go to that one location from the outset. Her response was that she'd simply go off, find help & "[u]flash her boobs[/u]" if need be... This from a chick who never even considered to bring sufficient water on hand... (I had plenty). Anyway, usual story. They'll talk a big & brash game. Claim strength & independence. Yet at the end of the day, they're simply deluded, spoilt brat children. [/QUOTE]
