I’m rude to debt collectors who call me trying to collect debts from people who happen to once have had the same phone number as I once did. Like, I’m not who you’re trying to collect from, fuck off.

I’m also rude to generally any scam caller, they’re some of the few people I take great pleasure in telling off because I can get away with it. They’re scammy assholes, what’re they gonna do? Cry to the authorities? Knowing that they’re pieces of shit who scam people out of money? Good fucking luck.

    I work in IT and occasionally encounter super sexist people who want a man to fix their computers. I’m not rude to these people while on the phone with them and I make sure to be extra kind. I totally talk shit after hanging up though. Fuck anyone who thinks I can’t do my job because I’m a woman.

      I hate that. I used to run an auto business and some customers wanted to speak to a man. I’d always tell them that this woman here has the most experience in the shop and if they don’t want to hear her, they can go to the next shop.

      I used to work at a lube shop with a female tech and occasionally we’d get the same shit from old dudes where they didn’t want her to touch their car because she was a woman. I always made them wait for the shift change because “we don’t switch positions until lunch break and she’s in the pit”. Have fun sitting for 4 hours assholes. She was one of the better techs we had anyway having actually gotten a certification.

      I’m rude to those and I’m a guy. Women are as good as men at our job and everyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot lacking respect and I don’t respect that.

        Most women in tech are not very good

        Citation needed.

        Anyway you don’t have to be very good to be better than 95% of the population, because most people can barely operate outlook.

        I also resent the implication I have to be a super nerd to be good at IT. It’s not actually that hard, you just have to bother to read the instructions.

          Sure. It’s always hard to know exactly what kind of skills we are even taking about here. IT is a huge area.

          You don’t have to be a super nerd to be good at IT but you do have to read instructions and learn things, which means you are actually interested in it. That’s all it takes.

          Most girls are not interested in those things so they become project managers or IT managers and other things that are more interesting to them. That’s my experience at least.

            Just. Stop. Digging!

            We get it; you’re a “Nice Guy that has helped plenty of little ladies figure out their career paths because their stupid little heads don’t know better”.

            Good god - do you have any idea how much of a tool you sound like? I hope you don’t have supervisory authority over anyone. I pity them if you do, and cheer the eventual hostile workplace/harassment lawsuit brought against you and your employer/enabler.

          They managed to sound sexist and also insult all IT people because “if you have a personal life you clearly are bad at your job”.

          I’m mad as hell. Pissed because of the sexism but mad because how fucking dare he say that programmers can’t be good if they have an actual life? I’ve been very appreciated in all the jobs I’ve done and turns out that being able to give several solutions fast and being reliable is way more important than coding on your free time.

          I’m just sorry that they can’t actually be good at their job by investing their work hours into work/training/testing, it is what it is. Yeah there’s people with disabilities that need to invest more than the usual programmer to be good at their job, but that’s how it is and expecting everyone is the same is pathetic.

        It’s clear you have never met a woman…

        Source: a woman who beat every other male in every grade in my comp sci degree and is top of the class.

        Also has a life because WOMEN CAN MULTITASK APPARENTLY.

        I’m very good at IT and I can assure you that when the clock hits the time, my laptop gets folded and I switch the screens to my games, where I pay no mind to work anymore. I’m a man.

        Fuck off with that attitude.
