More proof that men are just dumb:

Today I called western digital to see if i could finally get my external hard drive to work. I spent maybe 20 minutes on the phone with one guy who was like 'well you should try another computer' so i hung up tried my moms computer, couldn't get it to work, tried Joe's computer and it didn't work either. so I'm sitting at Joe's computer when i call back and have to talk to someone else. We go through everything again and I'm like "It won't work i did that already" He then tells me that the drivers on Joe's computer are out of date or need updates and he sends me back to my computer. We go through the same thing again on my computer and still nothing. "Your computer is three years old, obviously...how old is your brother's computer?" "My brother's computer is not even a year old yet" If his won't work imagine how out of date yours must be. Me: I have windows XP and USB 2.0 that's what the package says i need. Him: well this isn't a common problem, blah blah blah. and makes it out like the problem is that all the computers in my house are too old. (the external is maybe 2 months newer than Joe's computer so i find that hard to believe) He says he's going to transfer me to senior support. He does, but it just says "we are busy good-bye" and hangs up on me. I call back and am on hold for like 15 minutes and finally a woman answers the phone. I tell her everything and she's like I'm going to put you on hold and call senior support myself. She does but can't get through either. I've told her everything that I've done and am so frustrated - she can probably tell in my voice since I was probably all but screaming at her. (i was trying so hard not to just yell) She is super nice and very calm and is like "okay, we are going to start even more basic than that. Unplug the drive, now plug it back in. Put your ear to it what do you hear? Do you hear any clicking?" Me: Yes, i describe the clicking. Her: well your dive is broken, (and then explains that the clicking isn't normal and it means that something is blocking inside the drive.) we can send you a new one. So she sets me up in the system and they are sending me a new external hard drive. That was like 5 minutes on the phone with her. 5 minutes! I must have spent about an hour total on the phone with the two other men. Neither of them thought to have me listen to my hard drive, and they made me feel like it was all my computers fault that it wasn't working.

This is even better:
The other day I was reading my brothers cycling book. Most books about sports/training have a special section for women about "women issues." For women with heavy periods the book suggested that using two tampons (TWO TAMPONS!?!?!?!!!??) instead of a tampon and a pad would be more comfortable. Clearly a book written by a man, there was no need to check the cover (although i did and it was)
