I’m a female mechanic – I can’t wear what I want… here’s why
A FEMALE mechanic revealed she can’t wear whatever she wants and doesn’t clean herself up when shopping.
TikTok user @thedieselqueen said that when she dressed nicely, people usually questioned her.
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.
