Petty rant This chaps my hide so bad. I know I shouldn't let it get to me but it bugs me so bad!

Ugh. This happens to me ALL. THE. TIME.

I don't understand it either lol

High five for being handy gals ?

Right there with you, Op. If there's a DIY project in my house that needs doing, I'm the one doing it. I've never had anyone be as obvious as that clerk was to you. I've never been "your husband-ed" but I've had sales people be condescending or overly explain things bc it's clear they think I'm clueless. I find it amusing to re-educate them. Politely, of course.

I'm not THAT handy, but I can change my own oil and when our dryer's heating element failed I'm the one who replaced it.

I can (generally) troubleshoot.

It's not a crazy concept but some people just don't grasp that women can be more handy than their menfolk.

On the plus side, the dyer is working now ?

Wow can't believe this still happens. It's one thing for him to give you an attitude like you don't know what you're doing but for him to specifically say "ask your husband" that is just ridiculous!

I am a mechanic. Often times when I am ordering parts for my Jeep, the "parts guys" in my local stores are dicks. Act as if I know nothing about vehicles and legit tries to argue with me. Even when I am wearing my shop shirt!! Like, seriously??? I work on much bigger equipment than you, dipshyt. Just get me the part I need and shut the hell up.

I get this a lot. Went to a home improvement store to buy a lawn mower. First question the guy asked "What color do you want?" Like igaf about what color it is. I just want it to have a big enough tank to last through most of the yard.

Kit Kat, YouTube is your friend lol. You can learn anything in there.

The reason I have my H call repair shops.

Sorry to chuckle but this is too funny. You should bring your husband in when you pick up the part wearing oven mitts and an apron. Make sure you strap a tool belt on your waist and just hope this same old duffer is working.

I go thru this at times. The last one was the refrigerator. I couldn't find the part I needed. It had to be ordered from GE directly.

The worst was a previous obgyn. He would not discuss scheduling my surgery until I brought my husband in.

Even at work I get "you can do that?" Ummm yeah I can it is not rocket science.

I get this at the mechanics a lot. Or at sale lots when we sell/buy cows ?

My husband is very handy and such, but so am I.

I would have told them if the didn't want your business, you'll go elsewhere.

Yikes ? I can't believe this still happens! The "your husband" comments have my mouth hanging open. Unreal.

That drives me crazy too!

Two weeks ago my car wouldn't start and needed to be towed to the mechanics. The mechanic asked me if my car was in a good spot to be towed and I said "yes, I reverse into my driveway, so it should be easy to tow." He actually said "Wow! That's impressive for a woman, good for you!" ?
