Spot on, Navy!
Though I also look at it as a degradation of chivalry.
A MAN does the job he says he'll do. He took the job - drove out, parked up, looked at the car. Went back on his word due to something I consider rather petty and stupid.
A MAN also doesn't leave a woman to fend for herself when she has specifically asked for help. (Unwanted help is a different tale).
A failure of a man in the total.
