Today, I realized I am more confident running a million-dollar piece of construction equipment than I am around people of the opposite sex. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was conducting a meeting regarding safety concerns on my field site. While I made a comment, a client rep yelled out that women don't know construction, and that I should be acting like a proper secretary and should get my boss. I'm the Construction Manager. FML
Today, I won an argument against a sexist co-worker. When I left later on, I jumped into my car to drive home, but managed to reverse it into a parked excavator. Guess who's going to hear 'original' jokes about women drivers from now on. FML
Today, I realized that as a U.S. Marine in the infantry, I'm more afraid to talk to girls than I am of getting shot at. FML
Today, while at training with several of my co-workers, I realized I was the only woman. The only thing one of them said to me the entire day was "DUDE!" while staring at my chest as I took my coat off in the morning. FML
Today, I realized that I know more about the history of the Transformers than I do about talking to women. FML
Today, after doing inventory at my job, I was approached by a co-worker who I had always thought was cute. I tried talking to her, but it was hard as I kept trembling and stuttering from spending two hours in a meat locker. Now she assumes that I'm "special". FML
Today, I was at the gym with my boyfriend. He is a bit feminine, but it has never really bothered me. Until I realised I was lifting heavier weights than he was. FML
Today, I was at the gym when I noticed a girl I like working out on the elliptical. I went to go say hi, but chickened out and went to run on the treadmill in front of her instead. I was so nervous that I tripped and the machine threw me headfirst into her machine. FML
Today, I found out that the engineers I work with believe that a woman with an engineering degree working in an engineering company is apparently equivalent to a "secretary for engineers." I am that woman. FML
Today, I, a woman, realized that only women find me attractive, which is fine, except that I'm straight. FML

In other words, you’d rather deal with a backhoe than a ho?

To be fair you've probably been inside one more than the other.

I'd wager most men more comfortable operating a million dollar piece of construction equipment that they've never even heard of before than gaining a female's okay to pork her.

That's understandable, I always get nervous around expensive equipments too. Some women are quite a bit more pricey.

Maybe if you told these women you had a million dollars you wouldn’t have to talk. All you would have to do is lay there and enjoy the intimacy of a gold digger...

Well, the worst the equipment can do is break. The worst a woman can do is break YOU.

Lemme Guess... You're an American former prisoner with a Master's Degree in engineering. Your wife divorced you for a police chief, you work at Baskin Robbins, and now you're friends with an old man who goes by the name of Hank Pym?
