This should be higher up!

Friend of ours had a similar experience. Her name is Michele but goes by Mitch and she used to be some kind of manager at at oilfield. Guy comes in and asks her to make him coffee as he has a meeting with Mitch. She calmly makes him coffee, then sits down at her desk and says, Hi, I'm Mitch. Always love hearing that story.

should not talk that way even if she was his secretary

Hopefully the dumbass learned a lesson

Men need to stop assuming s**t when they see a woman. We are human beings too and are capable of having any kind of job. Men need to recognize that.

So not only did he assume that he could use familiar terms with a woman he obviously didn’t know, he also just believed he could order around any woman to get him his snacks?!?

I think she should have gotten him the coffee, then asked him to go fetch some donuts during the meeting, and then have him clean it all up at the end.

It’s disgusting how some men do this

This. Typical. I'm the DirOps of a law firm that has this happen more than I care to admit. I usually welcome high-stakes clients personally when they come in, and I'm often treated like a secretary by older white men--but even delivery people and labor contractors do this (if I happen to be close by and step in to help our administrative staff). So now I've gotten to the point where I have to introduce myself using my title, which makes me feel self-conscious bc it feels like I'm being haughty--especially when what I REALLY want to say is: STOP BEING A MISOGYNISTIC TWAT, YOU DANK AŘSE." Because it's not cool to treat ANY OF MY STAFF like that.

Yass queen!

I only wish that she had quietly pulled a Sam Walton, gone and gotten the coffee, brought it back, served him, asked if he needed anything else, then walked up to the podium to start the meeting. There are stories of him doing stuff like this all the time.

My go to statement is, "Are your arms broken? The coffee mess is down the hall and to the right."

Love it...serves the peon right to be humiliated...and to NOT assume "sweetheart"or "darling" is beneath him. What a tool...

Yes! I would’ve added, No. but if you are going that way, I will take. Hot tea with milk and sugar, thank you, lovey!

I would fire this asshole just for presuming that it was perfectly okay to ask a strange female to serve him.

Leave the arrogance to the bosses. On second thought, tgey should not be arrogant either

In America we make our own coffee.

Assumptions sure turned him into an a$$.

What an idiot!

I'd have just fetched him a cuppa and not said a word ...

That should do it.
