You have good answers in the thread and probably have decided on your solution. Let’s talk about the future, too.

I’ve been using mushroom style plugs for well over a decade and surely have tens of thousands of miles on plugged tires. Maybe some would consider my attitude on the subject ummm, cavalier. Every tire I’ve “repaired” in this way was a clearly screw/nail/round puncture. Yours looks scary to me. Find the budget and get a new tire.

Also get a plug kit for future just-in-case. They work, even if you don’t care to use a holed tire until the end of it’s life, a plug can get you back to a place where the tire can be replaced, just treat it like a doughnut spare for a car and go gently.

I can’t seem to figure out how to edit my comment on kbin. I thought of one newer than Rush fom a band I’ve come to enjoy highly and hasn’t been posted yet:

LCD Soundsystem - You Wanted A Hit

But glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity…

Syberia!

There’s a beauty and peacefulness to it that’s hard to describe. The music will stick with you, too.

Information, not criticism. It’s written “en masse”

I’d like to suggest a different reason for the likely judgement: You didn’t see the obvious (in his view) sign for the fitting rooms.

Neither of you has to be 100% wrong in the situation. Just because he spends up 40 hours a week seeing that sign and 100% thinks it is GLARINGLY obvious doesn’t mean you 100% didn’t even try looking for the sign and possibly distracted him from a (perceived) important task to make up for your laziness.

It’s a balance. You can both be 50% objectively correct or any variation of levels. The sign could have been higher or lower or a different look than you were used to AND you only glanced around and didn’t really stop to look.

I know for a fact that I’ve been on both sides of this kind of scenario. Would bet most could find one of each in their lives, too. So it’s a learning experience, remember that what is obvious/simple for one person (you/someone else) isn’t obvious to another person (someone else/you) and try to act accordingly.

But the fart comment is very insightful, you know?

What is that retro-looking thing on the right?

Hurst “Lightning Rods” from the 80s. Basically a flashy way to manually shift an automatic transmission.
