So who's the sexist jerk who added the caption implying this was a female customer, when it was actually a male employee?

There are so many misogynists who post made-up BS like this, including here on imgur. Gotta maintain the stereotype that women are +

So you talked to her seriously about it, pointed out where to read the max pressure off the tire, the dangers of over-inflating, right?
Showsni
It was a male employee at a demolition company, filling the tires for his boss - he lost his job, though the article doesn't give the reason
majortool
Why did you feel the need to tell me that?
majortool
What does it matter that it's a woman or a man? Why did you just come down to the comments just to tell me that?
majortool
It says she in the image.
RatBits
Someone grabbed the image from another situation/event and put their own made-up text over it.
majortool
So?
majortool
You just decided that you needed to tell me it was a man. Why?
RatBits
I'm not the one who pointed out it was a guy (that was a different poster), just responding to your comment.
majortool
I just can't imagine what sexist horseshit you're about to say next, but I am fucking enthralled.
CallsYouATosser
Damn! What brand of tires is she sporting?! I'd expect the explosion to have taken her face off well before 70 PSI.
MisterLemons
I've seen standard tires go to the 80PSI range because idiots are trying to shut off the TPMS light but forget the spare exists.
MisterLemons
You deflate em by standing off to the side and using the longest screwdriver on hand at arms length. Never had one explode, but *damn*.
certainlynotaserialkiller
Most tires will handle it but a curb or pothole will pop them.
realynotme
Would probably fail along the tread. Face ok, pants not so much. *does not apply to split rims.
MeSoErnie
Nah they can withstand around 250-300 psi.
Ahellifiedwaytostartyourday
Idk why your downvoted. While 90psi is definitely unsafe, tires won't burst until 220-320. Souce: I'm a tire engineer and we blow up tires:)

For those wondering: It's normal for bike tyres to need more PSI, smaller air volume needs more pressure to keep tyre share.
turomar
Yep its in the name. Pounds per square inch. Fewer inches needs more pounds. Esp for my fat body.
dontfloatmygoat
I actually was. Thx
dohcohv
3/4 or 1 ton truck? Mine are supposed to be 80psi because they each have a load rating of 5,000lbs, or the weight of one car for each tire.
Maaatth
The drawn vehicle clearly looks like a compact car, though.
dohcohv
Manufacturers are cheap and will use the same display for various vehicles.
Maaatth
Not to that point, no.
ThatUsernameHasAlreadyBeenChosenAndlsNoLongerAvailable
They're 80 max. Not "supposed to be 80". They only have to be that high at high load.
Crazyaussiecanadian
Mine throws a warning code if they drop below 75psi. It's very annoying and cannot be cancelled.
MADchemEE
Check: the tire pressure recommended ON the tire, the sticker in the driver's door, and your cat's manual.
HardtoTerror
My cat didn't come with a manual, maybe because it's second hand ?

Uh oh. My cat doesn't have any tires and I didn't know there was a manual! What do I do?!?!?!
onlyhalfghost

xBoneDaddy
My cat doesn’t know how to read though…
dohcohv
Some are higher, and that's cold PSI, if you are towing your PSI will rise and if you let air out to "get it back to normal" then you will
dohcohv
Have a blowout.
GigiDundas
I run mine at 75 when I have a big load, otherwise I knock them back to 45-50 so I don't bounce down the dirt roads.
Thornaxe
I’m surprised none of her big pickup companies offer a central inflation system. That’d be a hella nice feature for intermittent towing.

Wait, we’re supposed to actually read the manual? OH CRAP!

No, its pretty common for 3/4 and 1 ton trucks to ride at 75 to 90 psi. Their tires are something like 160 psi max.

I have 10ply tires, rated load is AT 80 psi... which also happens to be max.

80psi+ heat from towing will get you that high. Or driving through the desert in summer.

My 2020 Nissan is 36 psi, I think those days are still going strong. Especially since I'll be driving it for at least a decade.

Does yours have a CVT? If so, please do the transmission flush when the maintenance interval comes up. I got my Maxima used and the first

Transmission barely made it over 100k miles and the replacement one barely made it to 13k miles before breaking completely. On my third now

It does, and thank you for the heads up! I will definitely ask about that at my next oil change.

You do understand that stereotypes come about for a reason, and that reason is usually experience?

Keyword being "usually". Stereotypes also come about due to faulty assumptions, i.e. "car work is a man's job, so women must be bad at it".

Except when its not, like in this case, the stereotype gets wrongly perpetuated, hence why stereotypes tend to be hurtful
