Get lost. Refuse to ask for directions.

OK then, my other nominee would be Stalin’s Red Army. Same neat tanks, same black leather, same despotic brutality (item 1 on the agenda when they reached Berlin: mass rape), _and_ they totally kicked German ass, albeit with incredibly heavy casualties.

Fix a tire for a stranded lady. Bonus points if her useless boyfriend is with her.
(true story- the guy was trying to explain to me that the nuts on the wheel were too big for the tire iron wrench. I had to show him that the “nuts” he was trying to loosen were actually part of the plastic hub cap. Ya see, the real nuts are _behind_ the hub cap. The dude did _not_ look good in front of the lady.
