Unfiltered Story #256505

(My colleagues are great but unfortunately some discovered that misogynistic remarks are to me like a red rag to a bull. Since I found out they are deliberately baiting me, I try not to give them the satisfaction of reacting most of the time but sometimes… it get’s the better of me. This happens when our business oriented program had hiccups and we were unable to print from it. It was reported to IT and they were looking into it for some time. Note: Our IT department is exclusively male.)

colleague 1 (watching me go to the printer): Wait, what, you can actually print?
me: (I printed from another program) Nope, I’m just faking it.
colleague 2: Yes, that’s women for you. Always faking it.
me: (trying to ignore but unable to) You are right (colleague 2), women are faking it.
colleague 2: See, see, (colleague 1), she admits it.
me: And you know why? (pause for effect) Because men won’t do their job.

(colleague 2 was suddenly very busy…)
