The TikTok user also said she doesn’t clean her hands because “creepy old guys” look at her up and down.

She started the video by saying: “Please tell me that I am not the only one that does this.

“Going to a parts store after work and I dress accordingly.

“I have a reason why when I show up at the parts store, I make sure I don’t clean my hands, and I don’t put on nice jeans.”

“And there’s a reason for that. One reason is that the last time I wore a nice dress to the part store, I had a creepy old guy buying parts for his….”

“I don’t even know what it was that turned around and had the audacity to look at me up and down, and I was like can I help you with something.”

“Like b**ch, I think I can f***** handle myself.”

Usually, staff members at the parts store don’t take her seriously when she is well-dressed.

“There’s a lady in her mid-forties behind the counter who thinks she knows everything because her husband was a mechanic.

“And thinks she knows more than you, so I don’t wash my hands and wear my dirty jeans.

“I don’t usually get questioned when I dress like that.”

Users were quick to comment below.

One said: “The guys I work with do this all the time, or guys question me about doing my job, treating me like I don’t know anything. I’m like, seriously.”

Another said: “Same girl, same!! I dread going to the parts store in nice clothes.”

A third pointed out: “Last time, I wore a dress to the parts store, and I was treated differently, too.”

Another female mechanic also took to TikTok to show what it’s really like fixing cars for a living.
