Who are you always going to be rude to and why? - Lemmy.world

I’m rude to debt collectors who call me trying to collect debts from people who happen to once have had the same phone number as I once did. Like, I’m not who you’re trying to collect from, fuck off. I’m also rude to generally any scam caller, they’re some of the few people I take great pleasure in telling off because I can get away with it. They’re scammy assholes, what’re they gonna do? Cry to the authorities? Knowing that they’re pieces of shit who scam people out of money? Good fucking luck.

I work in IT and occasionally encounter super sexist people who want a man to fix their computers. I’m not rude to these people while on the phone with them and I make sure to be extra kind. I totally talk shit after hanging up though. Fuck anyone who thinks I can’t do my job because I’m a woman.

Most women in tech are not very good, because they have a life and more interests than debugging C code in the weekends. Stuff like actually talking to real people and taking showers and going outside once in a while.

So it’s not that they don’t think you cant do the job - it’s that their previous experiences have been that other women have been bad at their jobs. Now you suffer because of that.

Hang in there, prove them wrong and you will get respected even more than any guy.

I expect to be downvoted since it’s the truth. :)

They managed to sound sexist and also insult all IT people because “if you have a personal life you clearly are bad at your job”.

I’m mad as hell. Pissed because of the sexism but mad because how fucking dare he say that programmers can’t be good if they have an actual life? I’ve been very appreciated in all the jobs I’ve done and turns out that being able to give several solutions fast and being reliable is way more important than coding on your free time.

I’m just sorry that they can’t actually be good at their job by investing their work hours into work/training/testing, it is what it is. Yeah there’s people with disabilities that need to invest more than the usual programmer to be good at their job, but that’s how it is and expecting everyone is the same is pathetic.
