Do it yourselfers VS pay everyonelsers 200

posted by  someone claiming to be phoenix on  Sat Mar 26 07:32 CST 2005 [RELATED]

What makes the do it yourself person different from the pay someone else person? When I tell friends all the mechanical work I have performed on
my "87" 240 dl they give me a puzzled almost irritated look and inevitably say
why don't you just pay someone to do that. They seem to take a pride in their
dependence. Pathetic I say. Assuming I have the time, tools and the desire to
study the manuals to figure out how to solve my car issues I do it myself.
I could pay someone but what would I get out of it ....... an inflated bill,
lighter wallet. But if I struggle with the problem myself there is a sense of
accomplishment and self confidence. Any body else have any encounters with these helpless SHEEPLE?
