Ahead of the curve, eh. 
 

Nah, I think her mouth just gets ahead of her brain. She’s a beautiful human though and I wouldn’t change a hair on her pretty head.

My wife is annoyed that HP printer cartridges cost so much. Despite the fact I claim them back on expenses.  
 

She’s gone out today to buy a new printer.  Guess what make it is? 

 

If you weren't expensing it, then it would make a lot of sense to sign up to HP's Instant Ink. It costs nothing to print the first 15 pages each month, and every set of 10 pages thereafter is £1. Or you could opt for the next price band, where for £1.99 it covers there first 50 pages printed, and every 10 pages thereafter is £1. There are different price bands to suit your usage. They send you replacement cartridges automatically because they monitor your usage wirelessly. The cartridges will only work with your specific printer that you've registered with HP, and that's the only thing you need to be aware of. I haven't paid more than £24 in a year, whereas a single set of cartridges for my printer is about £40 and I'd probably need to go through a couple of sets a year at least.

Is it sexist to say I don't, and never have, liked working with women? If so, who cares.

 

But I don't, in fact in my next move it will be something I actively look to avoid. Sadly not always possible with office work.

 

It's not an issue with individual women, I've worked with some boss women, but when there's enough of them to form a work culture. They merge together, like the Borg, and create untenable environments.

 

I wish I'd been an engineer or something that women can't be arsed with. Go in, do some work, go home. No politics, no bitching, no personal empires, no moody shit.

My wife worked in the same place straight out of college for 20 years in a mainly female environment, the amount of fallouts, tears, tantrums was horrendous and she recently moved jobs to another company of mainly female employees and guess what, it's the same shit, different people.

 

Now my missus is sound and I'm sure most of her colleagues individually were alright, in fact I met a few over the years and they were okay but stick them together in a room for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and you have trouble.

I work in a predominantly male industry, with plenty of engineers, and there's absolutely loads of bollocks entailed in it.

I work in a male dominated industry (software) and we have no drama. Could just be luck though.

I work in IT and we have one woman in our office. Drama almost non-existent, though communication and eye candy is pretty poor.

If I am saying something subtly to the Mrs, she always chooses that sentence to loudly and repeatedly ask what I have said. An example might be:

 

Me: That guy has pretty bad BO

 

Her, with the guy in distant earshot: That guy has pretty bad what? 

 

Me: Err never mind. 

 

Her, man might sill be 15-20 metres away: I almost caught it, you said something about that guy has something pretty bad... 

 

Me: Let's talk about it later. 

 

Her: Why won't you just tell me?

 

Me (loudly whispering): Why won't you pick up on the fact that I don't want to either repeat loudly or talk about this? 

 

Her: What? 

 

Stinky guy: Excuse me miss, I think your husband is trying to tell you that I stink, that's why he is saying it subtly. 

 

Her: Why don't you just speak up?

Yep. Women are absolutely murder for stuff like that. About as subtle as Krakatoa. I reckon they just want to see you get filled in.

When I used to work for carphone warehouse we had an email system were the message flashed up instantly on your screen. Bloke walked in wearing the worst wig ever so I sent the bird I was working with an email " state of that syrup" 

She read it and shouted on top note " kev I don't get it what's a syrup?"

A fella I used to work with brought his wife and newborn baby in so all the women could coo over the newborn. Some other lad I worked with (a bit out of order granted) went "I didn't know it was bring your dog to work day" In earshot of about 4 people. One being this loudmouth who faked confusion and loudly started saying "whose brought their dog to work? can we bring our dog in?" She knew full well what she was doing and after a few discreet "shut the fuck ups" I had to walk away. Thankfully the woman with the baby hadn't noticed but her fella did. Drama drama drama

I would have had no idea what you meant by syrup either so wigman may not have understood either

I read this in the voice of your avatar. Satisfying.
