Lots of judging happens when I see an adult male, sitting on the side of the road, in his car on a cellphone with a flat tire, knowing its a car with a spare tire.

there are only a few hard and fast rules that can fully invoke handing over a Man Card, and this is one of them.
and if its a pickup, you don't get the card back again, ever.

Justin, I think the shame should apply male and female. It's really simple and everyone should know how to do it. Like I see no reason a girl shouldn't want to know how to do it except being lazy.

I cant even get my wife to learn how to change her bicycle tire.

Last week at work, a woman was dumbfounded to learn most cars have sore tires in the trunk. She was wondering where another co-worker got the spare, because he left his house in the morning and had to replace a flat.

Most of the time yes. However, if this was my morning commute and I was on the side of 695 during rush hour I may think twice about risking my life to change a tire.

Yeah if I didn't know how to change a tire, I'd want to be hit by a car too.

When you have to apply for your own job because your company got bought and you finally get an offer 2 months later for less than you currently make. And then you find out the next day you got a raise and the new company knew that and still lowballed you.
And you were the top producer for FY17 (humble brag)

Ordering from IKEA online. Bought nice mirror for wifey for the bathroom, shows up broken. Submit a request for a replacement mirror piece, told it will ship in a week. Don't hear from them or see it, call back, they never shipped it because they're not allowed to "just ship the glass piece". They have to ship the entire mirror.
Ok fine, they ship out a replacement mirror. Sweet, we get an extra mirror for free. Mirror arrives today, except it's in a 4x4 box and weighs about 2 pounds. The mirror is actually a cushion. I call back (every call to IKEA online customer service has been 1 hour wait minimum), they apologize and tell me the mirror is out of stock now. Proceed to give me a refund. So I get a free broken mirror, a cream colored cushion and 3+ weeks of headache? Awesome thanks

You deserve everything you got for shopping at Ikea.

With your company's foray into logistics, can you promise to put Fed Ex out of business? That company is complete trash. The last three things delivered by them, including both IKEA shipments, were delivered by a uniformed Fed Ex driver in a Budget rental truck. I kid you not. I spotted one of them actually asking the postal carrier in the neighborhood directions to a nearby cul de sac.
I'll add that after asking IKEA's customer service how a label for a 25lb box ended up on a tiny 2 lb box, she said that Fed Ex runs their fulfillment for their "smaller" shipments. Yeah...

The rental truck thing is pretty common when their trucks are down for maintenance or they have a higher demand for deliveries than trucks. Especially true during the holidays. Why does what they are driving matter? Breaking shit is a different story.

I mean it's been a thing for a while apparently. Remember months ago when I bought my Rolex? A Fed Ex driver delivered it...in a rental truck. I get having a few regional trucks down for maintenance but that can't be a coincidence. If a major logistics carrier can't get its act together enough to put its own fleet on the road, that can't be a good sign.
I even understand using a non-descript final mile carrier if you have to. But to have your guys roll up in another company's branded rental truck doesn't scream "we have our act together here guise" to me
