I used to be a Pathetic Woman who didn't know where the stopcock was. Then I really needed to find out... and discovered we didn't actually have one. Felt a bit less pathetic after that (especially now we've had one put in and I DO know where it is).

I'll add to the list of pathetic attributes:

Can't go anywhere without a friend for moral support.

won't use a multi-storey car park, won't drive anywhere if she doesn't know the way.

Buys things in shops and take them home to see if hubby approves and if not, she takes them back.

I started to drive on mtorways and in London after that thread

I do think that was my only real Pathetic Woman-ism anyway... I am Hard As Nails now. Honest.

Goes into a pub with you but refuses to go to the bar on her own so either you have to go with her or take the money and go for her (admittedly not seen since student days but possibly because I suddenly stopped frequenting pubs when I left uni).

(I don't know where the stopcock is ) so shpuld maybe stay quiet

When driving:

Askign your DH if you're in the right gear
Getting out of the car so he can reverse for you
Refusing to drive ANYWHERE on your own

oooh i need this. I have NEVER driven in the UK since I passed my test. In LA, Kenya, everywhere else, but not Britain. And I need someone to slap me and tell me to stop being pathetic.

I am shamelessly pathetic about driving. I don't like driving. I don't care. Or only slightly.
