It can be really frustrating when something goes wrong with your car, and can leave you frustrated and flustered when you need to be somewhere soon.
Some may turn to pals to help, others may call a mechanic, but a lucky few may have a partner who is an expert in all things vehicles.
One woman took to Reddit's 'Am I the a**hole' forum to explain that her husband has 'experience in this area', so asked him to help her fix her car as it 'wasn't working'.
He did, however, when she returned home he was 'livid' and 'sulking' because she'd woken him up.
She explained: "My husband was home at around 1pm, napping after covering a night shift (he works every other night).
"I was supposed to attend a friend's engagement but my car wasn't working. Since he has experience in this area, I woke him up and asked if he could skip his nap to check my car.
"He told me he needed to sleep but eventually went to look at it. He said something about a problem that needed an hour to fix and suggested I take an Uber but I didn't think it was a good idea because I didn't wanna show up to my friend's house in an Uber. He took more than an hour to get it fixed but I still had time to catch the event.
"I came home and he was livid about what I "made" him do while he was asleep. He told me I was wrong to call this a "nap" since he had to cover a shift the night before. I said it was alright since he had the night to sleep yet he started ignoring me while sulking. I think he blew this out of proportion but am I the a**hole?"
In the comments, the woman was slammed for being 'selfish' and waking her husband up, fuming that she didn't seem to care about his wellbeing.
One person wrote: "His health is more important than you attending some party. Next time, leave the poor guy alone, swallow your stupid pride and just call an uber."
Another agreed, commenting: "Pretty selfish on your part. Dude was exhausted from work and you woke him up to make him fix your car. Should have just taken an uber and ask if it's ok if he can fix it later when he has time."
Someone else said: "Have you any idea how a night shift screws up a person's sleep patterns and life rhythms? Imagine your husband waking you up at 3am to cook him something. You'd be p*****, right?"
"He worked nights", one fumed. "Humans need sleep to be functional. Without his sleep he will be grumpy and feel bad, like everyone would be in that situation. I think you're the a**hole. Be a little more considerate of his work schedule. What's wrong with taking an Uber?"
