No Wonder They’re Not Still Married To That Wingnut
My ex-husband had a 1980s model Ford Bronco. One day. it started to act up when he tried to put it in reverse. I asked him to let me try it so I could feel what it was doing. He looked at me like I was crazy, but he let me do it.
Once I was finished, I told him there was a problem with the linkage. He insisted that I didn’t know anything. He said he needed a new transmission, and he was going to take it to the shop and have it replaced.
He took it to the shop the next day but was home with the truck and his dad (who’d followed him to the shop) about two hours later. When I asked him what happened, he didn’t want to tell me.
I kept asking and he finally answered me. They found a wingnut caught in his linkage.
For the rest of our marriage, whenever he was acting like a jerk toward me, I’d just ask him if he needed a wingnut.
