Today, I called a pest control company to ask them to come over to my place to help get rid of rats. The person on the phone told me to "be a man and stop acting like a girl". I'm a woman. FML

Wouldn't they want to make some money?

I don't know what's worse actually, the fact you apparently sound like a man or the fact you have some new roommates. Best of luck on finding someone to help OP! :) I hope though that if we get a follow up, you've already done that... :p

i take it that company doesn't have much business

Rude! Don't waste your time on them. Try another pest control company.

It's not sexist, it's just a phrase. You can "be the man" without being a man. I tell that to women all the time. They do always look at me funny, though.

You can 'be a man' without being a man but you can't 'stop acting like a girl' if you are a woman.

It's a sexist phrase. "Man up and stop acting like a girl" implies that women are weak.

And then you told him "not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!"

Hair of my chinny chin chin... Hairy chin. You're a bit slow there...

That's just stupid, they lost money by doing that. Spread the word, and do business elsewhere.

The person on the phone needs pest control for her personality. Hahaha

I wonder if the owner of the company know this person is running customers away.
