When I was in college (early 2000s), my roommate was on a trip with his rowing team. The van got a flat, and not a single other person knew how to change the tire. They were all trying to figure out the number for AAA. My roommate was ticked off: 9 college-age "men" and he's the only one who knows how to change a tire.

To be fair: Technology has improved and people get flat tires less often these days. And you can usually drive several miles after getting a flat. So it's not as essential of a skill as it used to be.

I wouldn't know how to do it either, except my Dad made it a condition of getting my license: he wouldn't let me take the state driver's test until I demonstrated that I could change a tire.

I still get one about every year. But then they rarely bother to sweep the streets in Atlanta so there are a lot of nails around.
