What REALLY grinds your gears?

I'm a girl and I own a Landscaping business. I've had new guys who have worked for me and felt I shouldn't be "in charge" because I'm a woman and I don't know what I'm doing, not knowing I'm the actual owner and I could run (or in this case mow) circles around them :joecool:

Ooo a girl? Thank God. I'm finally not alone!!!

A woman who also owns her own business? You should prepare for the implosion of your inbox.

Ooo a girl? Thank God. I'm finally not alone!!!

This old lady that chewed me out a few minutes ago is giving old ladies a bad name. First she starts by saying we were intentionally trying to pass off used floormats as new, and then she finishes by saying the employee discount I'm giving her isn't good enough. I'm sure she has this notion in her head that all car dealerships are inherently evil, but there's no way we would build up a loyal customer base if all we did was try to pull one over on our customers all the time. People like her are the reason why nobody wants to work front counter in a car dealership. I mean, we waived the fee that we get charged to overnight your new floormats here, and we waived the shipping charge to have them direct shipped to your house, and we're also giving you employee prices on the new set of floormats (which is essentially giving her a discount off the old pair), honestly there's not much more I can do, and you're already raking me over the coals, and you're still not happy? F that noise.

Man sometimes I wish I could just morph into Kenny Powers and speak what im actually thinking.

If one must be a religious bigot, as least be an intelligent one, unlike these folks:

Here, judge and police officers mistake a Sikh for a Muslim and then engage in illegal anti-islamic intolerance

And this Sikh was beaten up, once again because violent Islamophobes don't know their religions
Sikh professor beaten in possible hate crime in New York - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/23/justice/new-york-sikh-possible-hate-crime/index.html)

Of course, the irony of the second story is that the professor's attackers committed an act of terrorism, all the while calling the victim a terrorist.

I PM'd her, like, a hundred times. Just letting her know how nice we are. Do you think it was too much??

As to the thread itself: smug, condescending coworkers who think their sh** don't stink and that they are the only smart people in the room.

:laughing-

I thought I was the only one. I figured if I put that out there, nobody else would do it, leaving me in the clear.
