So Un-gentlemanly
Few things are less appealing about a guy than one who displays un-gentlemanly characteristics. (Appealing in a general sense, that is)
Today, me and my colleague (both of us females) were moving 4 sets of PCs from the 10th floor to the 5th. Two of those PCs were for a few external consultants (EC) to use. They are working on our current project.
We had to go a few trips coz the trolley couldn’t take the whole load… no space.
So fine, the first load was the monitors. We were supposed to place them near where the ECs were sitting. There was one guy among the 2-3 females. My colleague wheeled the trolley there. I was expecting the guy to offer to help to move the monitors from the trolley to the table coz hey, those are monitors and they are kind of heavy. But you know what he did? He just asked my colleague “Are those for us?” She answered “Yes” and he went back doing his work!!!
What the…??!!! A bit the bodoh right?! At least offer to help laaa!!! Hey, if it were me, I would offer to help, regardless whether male or female. Some guys just don’t know how to be gentlemen. Some more he looked like the decent type, polite and all. But didn’t even offer to help move the stuff for us. Duh! I guess looks can be deceiving.
The next load we brought down were the CPUs. This time, I wheeled the trolley instead coz I wanted to sound him for being un-gentlemanly. I accidently (really!) hit his table while manouvering around the table and the CPU toppled onto its side. And he just put the CPU upright, ON the trolley, not on the floor under the table, where it was supposed to go. Adoi! See, I even gave him another opportunity to redeem himself but he didn’t take it. After that, I muttered, “Oh, you’re so helpful”. He replied “Thanks” and I said “Oh, that was meant to be sarcastic.” He didn’t get it. But his boss did, coz she laughed.
I tell you, some guys are just hopeless!
