Female Equality

Oh God, Oh God. Felt really bad as I stood and watched our female IT Engineer apprentice drag a box with two PC's through the building into our workshop. Apprentice: "I'm dragging it because I can't lift it." Me: "Ah, ooh, ermm? Well thing is, that's part of the job and ermm?" Apprentice: "It's OK, I don't mind." Yeah but my conscience does! :-(

Picky

So we had to have a new cooker at home. It was delivered this morning at around 7:30am and took me a couple of minutes to wire it up. Wife: "Hmm? The hob rings don't immediately glow red like the old one?" Me: "But do they come on? Wife: "Yes, just not instant like the old one." Me: "Tell you what, I'll nip outside and drag the broken one back in shall I?" #sigh

Aye?

Caller: "Can I speak to xyz please?" short pause Me: "I'm afraid I'm getting no answer from his extension, can I take a message?" Caller: "It's OK, we can sort this out on-line." Me: "Sorry?" Caller: "We can sort this out over the Internet." Me: "I'm afraid you've lost me, I don't understand what you are saying?" Caller: "I can send him an email." FFS!
