It is nice to see women in 21st century advancing day by day in various fields and giving competition to guys (International women’s day was celebrated yesterday 8th March).
Some how I find higher percent of women doing various jobs are bit rusty, blond type! etc. For example look at a call center lady trying to promote a credit card offer to me over the telephone
Tring Tring ...
Me: Hello
Lady:
Madam I am calling for so n so bank regarding .....
Me: Sorry!
Lady:
Madam ....
Me: Grrr .. Do I sound like a female to you?
Lady: Sorry
Sir ...

I have been using telephone for years now; no one ever told me that I sound like a female at the other end!
Today morning I went to fill petrol to a BP station near Madiwala police station on Hosur road. This service station employed all women workers. I drove near the filling station and stopped my car and told the lady that I need 15 ltrs. She programmed the station for 15 (which one I didn’t see. You can program the amount as well as volume) then showed me the zero and started filling. Immediately it stopped at 15, so I wondered why and looked at the station display and found that she has programmed it to fill 15 bucks instead of 15 ltrs so total petrol went in was 0.34 lts. Without much of hesitation she was closing the inlet, I said you filled just 15 bucks of petrol then she looked at the display and said sorry and re-programmed to 15 ltrs and filled in.
She told the other lady who collects the money that it is for 15 ltrs without the mention of 15 bucks she has put before. Then I gave 700 bucks to the lady and said take 15 bucks more (663.30 + 15 = 678.30) because she has put 15 bucks more fuel by mistake. She said fine and shoved 42 bucks in my hand and she left. I called her and said you need to give me only 22 bucks. She said sorry and took back 20 bucks.
I just thought of talking to their manager to warm him. One lady puts more petrol and don’t mention it for the payment and the other gives more money than what you are supposed to get. This phenomenon is quite opposite to the other stations where the guys are employed. Here they try to put less fuel (by distracting you) and take full money or give you less change (again by distracting). They have more ways to cheat than what you can imagine.
Last example is of a sloppy body shopper (Lady)
