What is a negative situation or circumstance for changing a flat tire? ~

Is there a positive? It's back breaking, time consuming, you get black crap all over your hands and you have to buy another spare.

No shoulder on the side of the road

Putting the spare on then discovering it is flat as well.

In the rain. (I have done so.)
On the way to work.
The wedding/funeral starts in 15 minutes.

While helping change a tire, you let loose with a certain word - -  and then pay the price.

At night far from home.
In Winter.
Strong wind.
Rain.
On a hill.
Torch or headlamp battery going flat as well.
No hard shoulder and the wheel is on the off-side.
Wheel-nuts still too tight from the last time a tyre-fitter replaced them with his air-spanner on maximum torque.

Years back a friend took up the guitar and progressed to playing in a band. One night, returning from playing in a town about 80 miles from home, he was helping change a wheel on the band's van, at the side of a road notorious for its accident rate, when he was struck by a passing car. He did not survive...

Having a flat tire.
