I couldn't help it!
I was at work this morning, when a new customer came in. There I was sitting behind the recptionist desk (she was out sick). This "MAN" started in that he just had to see the owner as one of his employees had stopped work on his job.
I tried to tell him that I would handle his problem. That if there was an issue concerning the job that it would be straightened out.
He just looked at me, then had the audacity to say. How can a woman understand a construction and electrical problem? Much less fix it.
Sir, if you will wait a minute I'll get someone else. I went to the back office to get my husband to come out. He listened to the man rant all about what was happening on the jobsite. He asked me to radio our foreman at the jobsite to come in so we could settle the matter.
After Dick got back to the office , I had a talk with him to find out exactly what was going on.
My husband,Dick and the customer sat down to try and see a comprise worked out. The customer said no way, not without the E.E. being there who designed the project. O.K is all my husband said. He then opened the door and called me in.
Let me introduce you to my wife, Danni. She is the B.S.E.E. who designed your project and majority owner in this company, If you have a problem with that, there's the door.
I don't think that I have ever seen a mans face so shocked in my life. I thought Dick was going to fall over he was laughing so hard.
It is so hard to not put a man in his place when he puts women down like this one did. I couldn't resist the temptation :devil:. Maybe next time he will listen when a woman talks, though I doubt it. His type never seem to learn.
another day/another idiot
