I was working with a casual employee last night sweeping the hospital grounds 

He was an old guy who mentioned about how he was renovating his house 

I told him I didn't know how to do renovation or even use a drill .

That I called a Airtasker guy out to put my wooden bed together I bought from IKEA 

 

The first thing he did was laugh at me " a real man knows how to use a drill "" , he then immediately backtracked , " oh I don't mean it a bad way he said laughing 

 

Later I ignored zealous tart like this,off went my conversations with him and my ear phones on🙉🎧

 

But it's been on my mind all day !!

 

Even I saw a post on ASEAN today where a guy a former NURSE in his working career was writing he was doing plumbing, renovation  etc in his spare time at his house !

 

That made me angry😮 because I think of male nurses as feminine , so I'm thinking of he does ,should I have to know as well!

 

The thing is I never been interested in using a drill or going plumbing , electrical renovation etc ⚒️🔨

 

Does a "real man " know how to use a DRILL, should we all know how to put door frames on ,how to use a SAW ,a DRILL ?

 

Why should I bother learning?

I call tradesmen out

You should already know these things. I guess you have always been living in a cave.

No I have not but I have walked some dodgy places in other places. Why would you do that? Wont learn how to use a drill there, dont think so anyway at least not the mechanical type.

 

Thankyou and it takes a man to admit they have never walked up & down the Manila subway at night like I did 👍many others won't admit it

 they did stop him as he stated in another thread.  More power to him if he can get his thrill walking the subway.  I myself do walk back and forth for exercise.  Subways are interesting if you don't wait in a gel state.  Arguably more entertaining than posting here.

I rarely use them since I fell in love with contact cement.  I tell myself that it is the better option and it isn't as permanent as a drill hole and I always make mistakes.  For those seldom drill users, HTF do you tell the difference between the cement and metal bits.  I gave up and just go with the right size.

Go to Home Pro or Global House and have a look. Self-educate yourself.

I have and i get it but 6 months later I forget. I assume you use them often enough or possibly just more intelligent.  Not a concern and as stated on this thread, real men are proficient with drilsl.  My less than manly self can easily find one of these creatures.
