I’m a young female tradie & men are stunned when I turn up at the door but they shouldn’t dare to call me ‘sweetheart’
A FEMALE mechanic has revealed the annoying comments she always receives from various people when they find out what she does for a living.
Jadi shared a snap of herself wearing her work uniform, before then reeling off a list of different types of people and the assumptions they make when they see that a woman has turned up at their door.
In the clip, which was shared to TikTok, the 20-year-old says: “POV: You’re a young female tradie.”
She then flashes up a snap of some young men who work in the same industry as her and says how they always say: “You only got the job because you have a vagina.”
Next up is a photo of some old ladies giving very “judgemental looks.”
According to Jadi, they tend to make unnecessary remarks such as: “That’s not very ladylike.”
She then goes on to share a photo of an older male mechanic and notes how they frequently say: “Back in my day women….blah blah blah.”
Jadi quips: Shut up!”

The female tradie also reveals a comment she receives from middle-aged women: “Bet the boys are all over you.”
She hits back: “I’m gay.”
However, the female mechanic points out that she always receives a positive response from female protesters who encourage: “Yesss show those men we can do anything they can do!”
Finally, she shares a snap of a man holding a pint.
Jadi says they tend to always ask the same thing: “Want to work on my car then,” followed by a wink face emoji.
Alongside the post, she wrote: “…And don’t even get me started with the constant ‘sweetheart.'”
The video has since gone viral, racking up over 47,000 views and several comments from other female tradies who were all keen to share the unwanted remarks they receive.
One person joked: “I love the ‘can I talk to a mechanic’ sir… that’s me.”
A second penned: “‘You’re just going to leave and have children why should I teach you’ – my fave one.”
A third commented: “I work with some female boilermakers and they’re honestly so much better to work with than the guys.”
Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: “‘Do you need help carrying that?’ Nah mate I’m alright.”
Another noted: “Facts facts facts.”
A further added: “Ahahahahaha accurate!”
And one more chimed in: “I felt this hard!”
