Too lazy, too thick, couldn't be bothered, why do it when someone
else will and be held responsible. Take your pick.
Oh dear, never had a puncture, that's no excuse. Does she know how
to check tyre pressures and fluid levels or has she never done that before
either!

>Surely you wouldn't expect me to refuse to do it for her?

What's that got to do with it? You're annoyed because you were forced to
do it for her when you were thinking the same as the people in the office.

What a load of rubbish. Buy her some breakdown cover, or if she is so
helpless,
show her how to do things. I take it she is in her early 20s. Educational
standards
did drop quite a bit and people leaving school can't even spell, speak or
write
properly. They can't even think for themselves as they are what is known as
one
of the "helpless generation". Unable to do something without being told
what to do
all the time and prompted at each stage. God knows what teachers are doing
in schools.
At least now she knows that by acting all thick and helpless, you will go
running each time.

Probably best just to leave them on their own having babies etc.

Nobody should be allowed to drive a vehicle if they can't change a wheel
- was it her nails she was worried about?

Wrong way to think about it - she left herself in the lurch.
