I'm an idiot

With all my degrees, I could not inflate my tire yesterday afternoon.  I've done it before at the gas station, but yesterday at work, I was beaten by free compressed air.

Over the weekend, I noticed that my front passenger tire was low on air.  I had the hubster re-inflate it with his air compressor in the garage.  I noticed yesterday leaving work that it was low again.  I remembered the last time I had a flat tire at work that they had free compressed air by the main building.  I drove my car over there with the intentions of using it.  I sat there for 5 minutes thinking I was putting air in my tire.  Haha, yeah right.

A good thing a co-worker came walking by to help me because he pointed out that I had not opened the line for the air to run through the hose.  WTF.  I'm an idiot.  So the whole time I thought I was putting air into my tire, I was letting it OUT!  I also found out that I use my tire pressure gauge incorrectly as well.  FML.

Now I learned two valuables lessons yesterday.  1.) Turn on the air, 2.) Press harder with the gauge.

I think that they should teach this rudimentary shit in school.  I think both my dad and the hubster dropped the ball on that one.
