Good for you.

And I would have said "Thank you! I did do a good job, didn't I"

I would have loved to watch the reaction!

Ones like this need followups ... the reactions and fallout. We need to know!

And you just lost my business/vote/support/FUNDING of your agenda, a*****e.

Experienced this in a college classroom of a very misogynistic professor. I would make a very valid point or observation, and he would give me the deer in the headlights look. A minute later, one of the idiot guys would repeat the exact same thing I just said—-VER👏 BA👏 TIM👏!!!—-and the prof would applaud HIM as a f*****g genius! If someone else, even another guy, pointed out that I had just said that and been ignored, the prof would give them the same deer in the headlights look I got. A*****e. Even his colleagues in the department agreed he was long overdue for being put out to pasture, and we’re actively trying by severely reducing his class load. Problem was that he had tenure and was impossible to boot out. Sad state of affairs for the students, especially the female students, who had to endure his class.

Hope the client was charged double.

refreshingly nice to hear someone speak up, say they made a mistake and have now learnt from it. bravo.

And get your f*****g hand off my leg, NOW, or I will be mailing it back to you. Pervert.

To be fair, if I got an email signed Kerri I would ask too unless they was an email signature "Dr Kerri Baker". How it's the recipient meant to know whether the writer is the doctor or a personal assistant?

Reminds me of this puzzle: A boy cuts his hand; he needs stitches so his dad takes him to the hospital. The doctor gets to work, sows up the hand and scolds the boy for being so careless; and scolds the dad, too. So, after they leave the nurse says to the doctor: "Nice kid. And good looking, too." "Of course he's good looking," says the doctor, "He is my son." - How can that be? Duh, the doctor is his mother.

I’m a certified non-attorney mediator, with a Masters Degree in Conflict Resolution. My husband has told me, time and time again, that some of the situations I’ve handled (for confidentiality reasons, I could not go into any detail with him, but if you say you’re mediating something like a divorce or child custody, it is implied that sometimes clients’ tempers can flare and they can get rather nasty) would make him fly over the table and beat the ever loving s**t out of some a*****e for being abusive. Basically, I am the one with the intellect, temperament, ability, education, and training to do a very difficult and delicate job that my husband (not a mediator, no college degree) would never be able to, yet there are people who would look past me as just “the wife” (if they even saw me at all), and look to HIM to help them with interpersonal problems.

I would love to know how you pronounce this. Gaelic I assume?

This is actually illegal in my country.

Regardless, never ask someone you don't know for coffee unless they offer to get it for you. ITS BASIC MANNERS

yes! we need way more men like her partner!!

Heaven forbid the guys get upset. And they say women are emotional and sensitive, with a straight face at that.

Oh, I've seen this happen. My vet was once called "little lady" by one of the older clients who was adamant on waiting for the male vet. Said "male vet" was actually a year 2 student intern... She's a saint for putting up with this c**p.

This!! I (female) was once responsible for a project that culminated in a final meeting to brief out the results to 35 (male) managers. The MD (male) let everyone settle in then took my notes off me, said “I can take it from here” and asked me to go get coffee and bacon butties for everyone from the canteen.

That’s insubordination, so I hope you fired his a*s, and explained, in detail, exactly why.

just say "the person at the door" why are people sometimes refering to women as girls? why? just why...

Oh, yes. Not being subservient to a man is indeed aggressive. Why, his mother and sister would never act this way! /s

well Jo isn't a typical female name, but still, just to asume someone is/must be a man is just stupid. also do your f*cking homework and research who you're doing deals with... i hope she said "of course" only to come in the room a bit later to introduce herself to him "ah! XY nice to finally meet you after so many emails!"

And the client stood there, mouth agape, wondering how the world had changed with him left behind.

Hopefully you've moved on. If not, time to look!

i'm petty. i wouldn't have answered and when he asked me later why i would have said "you told me to not say anything" but that would probably cost us the client...

This happened when I was in the UK: all titles defaulted to me as "Mrs." Despite my username here, which is part of the joke of it, I hate "Mrs." So all of a sudden I'm being sent cards to "Mrs. George Glass," and nope. In the 2010s, this was still the assumption, and note: the men did not have automatic titles, so the cards would look like: "GEORGE GLASS [new line] MRS. JAN GLASS". So that's f****d. I do take great joy in correcting "Actually, it's doctor."

“Of course…” *connects them to the back of the queue”

SHould have brought the coat on stage and given it to him during the presentation
