And looking at their phones. It sure had the vibe that they were Googling "how to change a flat tire" on their phones. They both looked clueless about what to do next.
I wish I would go back and video them to post it online, but one of their dads has probably already arrived to take care of their issue.

You should have stopped to help. Walk them through it so they don’t need help next time. WTF is wrong with people?

That’s a failing on their fathers’ part. One of the first thing a father is supposed to when their kid first starts driving is teach them how to safely change a flat tire.

ETA: To the down voters, explain to my why it’s not a father’s job to teach their kid to change a tire.

I've got to admit, with the quality of tires and roads nowadays, I don't get too many flats anymore. No good way to educate a young person.

A lot of males in their 20’s have no clue how to change a flat. It so sad. I wonder how they have girlfriends and I’m alone

Ummm, Your tires do not need to be flat to teach a young driver how to take off a tire and put the spare on.

Not just males. Every human being that drives should know how to change a flat tire.

How so? If their vehicle has a jack, tire iron, and a spare tire, all you have to do is take them outside then take about 5-10 minutes to to show them how to do it, then help them do it, then make them do it again to make sure they can do it alone.

It ain’t rocket brain surgery.

Probably just giggling about how much cheaper it is currently to rent a limo full of bimbo's in bikini's to take them home than call roadside assistance.

If they pay for a roadside service, why would you change it yourself? We live in a service economy. They're creating jobs!

It’s still stupid to send your kid out on the road and not teach them how to change a tire. Sometimes cell phones die and flats happen in remote areas with little or no cell service.

Something tells me you’re the only person that is baffled by this.

I mean did you come out of the womb knowing how to change a tire? We all learned at some point.
