    Panel guy *STFU*

    BG/ I work at a locksmiths and I'm female (so not to be trusted with mechanical stuff)

    ** ring, ring**
    Me: XYZ locksmith, can I help you?
    SC: Yeah, my name is Dumbazz I live at White Trash Apartments, Building 1, number 4. I see in the book all about opening hours and by appointment. What is that all about?
    Me: Well, the hours are when the shop is open and ...
    SC <interupts>: Yeah, yeah, I need a new key lock and how much is that gonna cost me.
    Me: That depends on what kind of....
    SC: <Interupts, again> How much is it to come out?
    Me: Our service call charge is $40 plus......
    SC <I,a>: Im only in next town, that's right down the street. Do I still have to pay for you to come out?
    Me: Yes, we charge .......
    SC: <I,a> Last time the guy came out, and it was a young guy, he said he needed some sort of panel, the he had to go to the shop to get the panel and he was gonna be back the next day with the panel and I told him if he didn't have the panel now, to just forget it.
    Me: He might have meant a wrap around plate, did your......
    SC<I,a>: Well if he's not gonna bring a panel, I'm not gonna pay him.
    Me: Ok, can you elaborate on what kind of panel he was.....
    SC: You don't know anything about the panel, I wanna talk to the young guy.
    Me: Unfortunately he is no longer .........
    SC: I wanna talk to a guy, not you!
    Me: Can I have your name and number to...........
    SC: I'm Dumbazz, like I TOLD YOU AT THE BEGINNING and I wanna talk to...
    Me <interupting >: All of the MEN are out on service calls, so you're gonna have to leave a message with the little woman and they will have to call you back, if the LITTLE WOMAN dosen't accidentally loose it.
    SC: @#$%^&* JUST CANCEL *click*

    Some men can be such tools about women and machinery.

    There used to be a real misogynist of a maintenance man at my work, and he would never "deal" with women, even if they'd worked there on that machinery for years and knew exactly what was wrong. I think he got fired for sexually harrassing someone, actually.

    We were so happy to see him go.

      I had a guy tell me once he wouldn't check in with a lady, there had to be a man working. I had to find a nice way to tell him to suck it up, there was 1 man on desk duty, and if I was working, he wasn't there. LOL

          Our local locksmith is female owned and operated. She does all the calls personally and is wonderfully to work with.

              That was sweet.

              When former member Gabrielle Proctor worked with me in my store, the R/C junkies would pass her by all the time looking for a man to solve their issues. She was here for two years, plus her boyfriend worked in the R/C section so she learned alot. It was pretty epic when she ended up being able to help them out anyway, despite her second X chromosome and all.

                Your local locksmith is owned by a female? How does he or she feel about that?

                    I wish I could have done that sometimes with our customers. While I may not be a sales rep or a service tech, I have been at my company long enough to know a few basic things - like if you can't fax out, check to make sure the phone cord is plugged in. Seriously. I had someone bitch me out one day because we "sold me some P.O.S. and it doesn't work!" Turns out the phone cord got knocked out of the jack. Probably by someone or a cleaning person. It does happen from time to time.
                    Random conversation:
                    Me: Okay..so I think I get why Zoro wears a bandana
                    DDD: Cuz it's cool
                    So, by using the Doctor's reasoning, bow ties, fezzes and bandanas are cool.

                      They can't be. Once you get past the three inch layer of concrete that comprises their skulls, what little brain matter exists is so shriveled and dried up that it's beyond learing anything new. You know, like the idea that women are fellow human beings, and you do not need a Y chromosome to work with mechanical things.
                      I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

                        When they do that, do you still have to deal with them? I should think that that would qualify as harassment.

                          Hmm. I've met my fair share of men who don't think women know one end of a hammer from another based solely on gender and no other factor.

                          These same men are perfectly willing to allow me to do all kinds of things to their intimate parts in the cause of better health (and believe me, getting a catheter is NOT fun for he or she). This does not compute.

                            Working on the human body is not 'technical'. Even if it's brain surgery. Didn't you know that?

                            Rocket science: technical.

                            Brain surgery: not technical.

                            Don't ask. It doesn't make sense to me, either.

                            1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
                            2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
                            3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
                            4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                              Guys like that give the rest of us a bad name. Anyway, good on you for putting your foot down (on that guy's pitiful little "tool"). You deserve a backrub and a cup of hot cocoa.
