  • I have ovaries, therefore I cannot help you

    This happened to me earlier today. I answer the phone with my usual
    "thank you for calling *manufacturer* data support, this is iradney speaking, how can i help you?"

    Right off the bat, the "gentleman" on the other side of the phone tells me "I'm expecting a man to help me with this problem" *jaw? meet floor!*

    I ended up helping him, but wow!

    Unfortunately, I get this at least once a week *sigh*

    I went to a dinner yesterday put on by the local NA activities group...anyway...the resounding theme from the women was "I have a uterus, I cannot help you." Or, upon asking some man for help moving something, "I have a uterus, I can't move that!"

    Getting there late, I was not sure how this joke had started, but it was funny.

      At work, I occasionally say "If you have a penis, you're in the way" because half of the guys in the produce and grocery departments congregate in front of the doorway I need to get through.

              I would pay $20 to see you say that to someone.

                I said that the other day when I was helping out in the meat room. The guys thought it was hilarious. I'm a general favorite.

                  This is where you put on the most gruff, masculine voice you can muster, and then proceed to give the caller totally incorrect advice.

                        I would have answered "I'm sorry, we don't, and haven't, served YOUR kind since the 1920s!" and hung up.
