Low Air Pressure Light....part 2

After nine days of filling and refilling my tire, I took Rosie to the dealership for a proper inspection of the passenger-side tire.  I carefully explained to the guy behind the counter, "For the past week, I have had to put air in my tire every-other-day.  I check it, refill it, and then two days later it's low.  Also, when I was refilling it the other day, I dropped the black cap inside the hubcap and it's missing.  May I buy another one of those?" 

While I was explaining the issue, the man behind the counter appeared to be listening AND comprehending.  He replied, "Go have a seat in the waiting area and we will check this out." 

Angie: "I have to be to work at 8.  Will you be done with plenty of time for me to leave?"

Guy:  "Sure.  Give us 10 minutes."

Wow -- 10 minutes! I thought. 

True to his word -- ten minutes later, he walks out to the waiting area and informed me, "Your tire pressure was low."  IN MY HEAD, "DUUUUUH!"  I just smiled and nodded.

He continues, "Your pressure was not 35 and your spare had low tire pressure."

Angie:  "My spare isn't on the car."

Guy:  "Oh, I know.  It's in the trunk.  It has a senser inside of it."

For real?  Are you serious that the problem is my spare which is inside my trunk????

Angie:  "Okay.  If you say it's fixed, then it's fixed.  Thank you."

Guy:  "Yep!  Have a great Friday!"

When I got to work, I was sharing with the guys about what happened...I don't really appreciate being treated like a space cadet because I am girl.  Could it really be that my spare was low?????  It seems hokie....and let's focus on the fact that the passenger-side tire had 10 pounds of air last week....it was refilled...and then two days later, it was low again.

I have a very bad feeling that this saga is going to continue...and here's the truth -- if my low pressure light comes on again, I will asking the men in my life to come with me to the dealership.  Men don't understand how un-nerving it is to be treated like you don't have a clue because you are a girl.  It's awful!!!
