I've got a company that desires some parts. They have asked for a JX48.
"What do you need"?
'JX48'
"I understand that, but it's not terminology we use"
'JX48 is our part number for a nurflap twixlerbanger'
"I am unfamiliar with this item, please use our descriptions"
'My boss has requested these items, contact him'.
"Who is your boss, and how do I contact them"?
'If you can not provide us with what we need, we will find another company' (this message was forwarded to a 'boss'😉
12 minutes later
MESSAGE FROM THE BOSS!
<Sorry about the confusion, let me know how to order so you can better understand what I need.>
"Our catalog has description for all items, use those and not your own part numbers. If there is something you want from us, use our terminology. Also consider firing that bitch you have doing your purchasing."
P-
Originally posted by yo its meIt's not sexist at all. My technician is a woman, and a damn good at her job. She gets the occasional "OLD MAN" who doesn't want to talk to a woman, so I get on the phone and tell them to ask our technician because I am not one.
Is that a sexist joke? Well it was almost funny anyway.
Q: Why is it good that there are female astronauts?
A: When the crew gets lost in space, at least the woman will ask for directions.
So, you read this as sexist, it was not my intention. Men and woman can be idiots.
Also, who's to say the boss wasn't a woman?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
