Their Laziness Knows No Bounds

[JackinovParticipant 5229]

So we have two vehicles. However, one is draining it’s battery, even when off. So to combat this while I figure out what the issue is, I disconnect one of the leads of the battery when it’s not in use. This solution has worked flawlessy (of course), and I even have it down to LITERALLY 5 extra seconds (pop hood, pull off connection, close) or vice versa.

So it’s not too hard.

Now the vehicle having this trouble gets less gas millage than the other one, so I only use it for short spurts around town. I take the car that gets better gas mileage and doesn’t have issues when I commute to college since it’s about 50-80 miles I travel on those days.

Anyway, I come home, and my mom asks me “You aren’t unplugging the van are you?”

Now she knows damn well why I do unplug it. I don’t need it bulls~~~ting me and not starting when I’m away from the house when I could just avoid that s~~~ all together.

I reiterate why I do this (for the umpteenth time), and she says “I’m willing to take that risk, leave it plugged in. You leave me without a vehicle when you do that.”

I’m like…”Ok but it’s only 5 seconds to make sure it doesn’t strand you, having to charge it (there’s a charger and 100 feet of extention cord in the trunk), or wait on someone to give you a jump.”

She has to be one dumb bitch if she can’t plug something in.

She then says, “I’m NOT doing that, because it’s not a woman’s job to be under the hood of a car. Now why did I say i’m not doing it again?”

I say, “Because you don’t want to”

She shouts, “I’M NOT ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS, WHY DID I SAY I’M NOT DOING IT?!”

She tries to subtly “forget” the fact she said she didn’t want to (lazy), and replace it with the statement of “women aren’t supposed to do that” (“righteous and pure”)

Women also aren’t supposed to nag, but lets not talk about that.

Now I know at this point she’s just veiling laziness under the guise of what women are and are not supposed to do.

I tell her “If a woman owns a car, she’d better be willing to work on it. I ONLY work on these vehicles because I use them as well. A car is JUST AN OBJECT, so there is no cover for what women are and aren’t supposed to do, ESP in AMERICA.

I end the conversation there, while she fumes. LOL.

This is the same bitch who threatened to hit me, WHILE I PAY THE BILLS. Instead of hitting her back though, I decided to do something that would hurt her more- WITHDRAW MY MONEY. LMAO she hasn’t did it since. Doing that told her without words that she will NOT disrespect me while I pay the damn bills.

Life is great!

I had a classic Corvette that did that. I had to cut away and replace an entire circuit to solve it.
No “helpful” females were involved. Thus, once the faulty wiring was isolated, the replacement went in smoothly.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

That is “standard behaviour” for them, my friend.

Even the oldest one’s.

Utterly and completely disgusting.

You know what? You have already withdrawn your money, why not leave the cable unplugged too? Let her sort this s~~~ out, give her a hard time, since you will NOT have a hard time to fix that when you need the car.

Teach her some proper respect for you and your skills, and perhaps she will start to bitch and whine less, for a change…

I had one ask me to take and plug in something that was nearly in arms reach. I guess those extra couple inches were just too daunting and beneath her.

This is the same woman who lives off your Social Security payments, right? This the same woman who constantly interferes your attempts to start a business, right? This is the same woman you’ve already bitched about here, right?

Let me ask; Why is she still living with you?

I told you before that she either needs to behave or you should throw her out. You’re an adult now and you’re paying all the bills (thanks to my tax dollars), so why are you putting up with this bitch? Saying “Because she’s my mother” is an excuse and not a reason.

She is allowed no demands, her opinions do not matter. She’s an adult sponging off her son’s government handouts. She is nothing.

Tell either to shut the f~~~ up or get the f~~~ out. While I don’t much like the idea of young and capable man like youself receiving government assistance, I sure as hell don’t like the idea of something like your mother getting as much as a dime from me.

You’ve already been told what you need to do in earlier threads. You can either start taking control of your life or you can keep whining to us here. It’s time to choose. You can begin living like a man or you can continue devolving into something like your mother.

For the van, I’d suggest a ‘marine switch’ — a couple bucks on eBay. That way you can just screw/unscrew it without having to connect/disconnect cable from lug — a bit quicker. I’d also take an ammeter and measure the leakage current — how many milliamps it draws when car is idle, no lights on, no accessories such as cellphone chargers or GPS attached to cigarette lighters — by putting meter in series with battery (with ignition off!). Then compare to what it SHOULD be for your make/model (computer, clock, etc will draw a small current). Pull fuses individually until you see a drastic drop, normally it’s not above 50 mA parasitic drain. Even if you can’t fix it, you’ve at least made it so you can just pull fuse in/out rather than pop hood. A slight improvement. A good meter will be under fifty bucks. Once you know WHICH circuit the problem lies with, you can then troubleshoot that circuit alone, replace its cables, etc.

As for Mom, if it’s not her job as a grown woman to get under the hood, then maybe it IS her job to do all the laundry, clean the house, and make you a sandwich?

It’s not good to drain the battery completely repeatedly, either. Deep drawdown tends to wear them out. Try unplugging alternator and starter if removing fuses fails to cause a big drop in draw. The alternator can be checked by disconnecting red battery lead while idleing. If it is good engine should not stall out.

Roydal, looks like that’s what I’ll have to do.

DarkKenshi, I’ve been doing a lot of that sort of thing. It’s so funny to watch.

qeeqo, this type of thing is more common than I realized. Hmm.

OldBill, don’t get me wrong, she IS behaving now. The way she’s acting now, vs how she was acting before I put my foot down is astounding. She’s not interfering with my business anymore, or anything else I mentioned. I did however, find out that I’m getting SS because I’m adopted. Odd.

I really didn’t think I sounded like I was complaining (again lol). It was more of an observation about how they won’t do the easiest thing to help themselves. But no, the environment is livable once again.

FrankOne, thank-you for the advice! The name of that switch really helped me out, I was going to either do that or install a solar panel to keep the battery’s charge up. I’ll do the alternator test first, and then check the fuses.

I’m glad to hear the her behavior is improving. However, her conniption fit about having to perform a simple task in order to have a dependable car means she’s testing you. You set boundaries and she is testing to see whether you’ll still defend them. If you don’t constantly enforce those boundaries, she’s going to slowly expand those boundaries until you two are right back where you started with her in the driver’s seat.

She’s female and that means she’s going to constantly poke, prod, nag, whine, mewl, bitch, and anything else she can get away with. Until you get her out of your day-to-day life, that is until she isn’t living with you and dependent on you, you’re going to have to put up with her constantly trying to turn the tables on you. Look at it this way: She’s the prisoner, you’re the guard and, if you’re not vigilant 24 hours a day, she’s going to f~~~ you up.

That is no way to live.

What you need to do is give her a “drop dead’ date. Pick a date sometime in the near future, 90 or 100 days from now, when she must become responsible for her own living arrangements. She needs to become responsible to provide her own “room & board” rather than sponging off you.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.
