My pet peeve….
It drives me crazy when they have dumb girls working in a place where a man should work. When I call somewhere and I want to speak to a man cuz it would be their area of expertise, and I get stuck talking to some girl who doesn’t know what the heck she is talking about, it takes all my self control not to lose it.
For instance. I call the bike shop. Asking a bunch of questions about tuning a bike vs. the bike check up and she can’t answer my questions. She doesn’t know the answers. They need to train her better.
I go to buy the kids an Xbox for Christmas and the person they have working in the department is a girl who doesn’t know the difference between a Playstation, Wii and the Xbox. It’s infuriating and very frustrating. I just walked around until I found a geeky looking guy who I figured would spend the majority of his time playing video games and he answered all my millions of questions as to which system to buy.
Now don’t get me wrong, I think women are very useful in some situations…. like if I want advice on paint colors or decorating, I’ll seek out a woman. If I need to figure something out with my vehicle, I’ll ask a guy. Now I know there are exceptions to the rule, where a chick will know more than a guy… but those girls are far and few to be found.
