There is a man at my local hardware store who is very helpful, but is not technically very great. I went to the hardware to get a small shifting spanner so that I could tighten my mirrors where they are loose. I needed to adjust them, by just moving them forward untightens them, and so I needed to be able to tighten them myself.
He said the nuts were a 14 and a 15 after we went outside and measured, but then he swapped them around, and used the big one on the small one and stripped the nut. He then proceeded to strip the smaller one as well. So now, I don't know which is the correct size at all. And I have stripped nuts on my left mirror.
I have said it before, and I will say it again. I really would rather do it myself, but men keep offering to help me. One day, perhaps, a man can actually get something right, and do it better than I can.
