“So, I’m working as a mechanic, right? And the boss brings in this girl, saying she’s joining us as a mechanic too. Man, did the guys lose their minds! A girl mechanic? They couldn’t believe it! They start messing with her right away, stuffing her car with all the trash from around, chucking their greasy rags at her like, “You’re the woman, you deal with the laundry.” And the worst part? They locked her in the repair pit overnight. I stayed out of it, didn’t wanna get involved. But man, none of us saw what was coming.
Next day, this shiny red Bugatti pulls up, windows so dark you can’t see inside. We all crowd around, and when the doors open, we’re all shocked. It’s her, the girl mechanic. And then, she hits me with a look and goes, “You.”
It was like a scene out of a movie. The guys who had been giving her a hard time suddenly went silent. They couldn’t believe their eyes. This petite girl, with grease smudges on her face and determination in her eyes, was the owner of this luxurious car. And she wasn’t just any owner; she was its mechanic.
As she stepped out of the car, she radiated confidence. She didn’t need to say anything; her mere presence spoke volumes. It was as if she was challenging all of us, daring us to underestimate her again.
The guys, realizing their mistake, started to mumble apologies. But she didn’t seem interested in their words. Instead, she walked straight to me, her gaze unwavering.
You,” she repeated, pointing at me with a smirk playing on her lips.
I felt a shiver run down my spine. What did she want from me? Was she going to call me out for not standing up for her? Or worse, was she going to fire me for not intervening?
But before I could utter a single word, she surprised me.
“You left your wrench in my car last night,” she said, holding out the tool towards me.
I stood there dumbfounded, realizing that while everyone else had been busy underestimating her, she had been quietly proving herself. She didn’t need anyone’s validation; she was more than capable of standing her ground.
From that day on, the dynamics in the garage shifted. The guys learned to respect her, not just for her skills as a mechanic but for her strength and resilience in the face of adversity. And as for me, I learned never to judge a mechanic by their appearance.”
