That sucks, one of our better techs was female... and now that I think about it, was blonde.

I don't look at women's breasts when talking to them. Figure, why should I stare? Just annoys people, and it is impolite to not look at the person who you're talking with.

Forgot, the list should include: "Ability to wear sports related clothing and not look weird."

Yeah... funny how stereotypes creep their way into everyday life. Usually, the guys I end up working with get past the whole blonde girl thing and realize I'm not as dumb as my hair color suggests.

From there, everything's fine.

Sorta like all Japanese Men are supposed to drive a Honda or Acura? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Friends made fun of me non-stop when I bought my truck. =D

My younger sister who lives in Alabama is planning to go to law school next
year. I told her that if she did so, she'd have to dye her hair blonde and find
a job for Microsoft.

That way she would be a female blonde Southern lawyer working for
Microsoft which would 99% of all the jokes in the world about her.

Geez, that really made me laugh. Thank you.

I showed it to my boyfriend, he didn't laugh as much as I did

He thought it was unfair....I laughed harder

Doesn't seem to bother me... maybe because I'm an OLD girl.

EDIT: It would actually be kind of funny to see what would happen if all of us girls started staring at guys' crotches when we talk to them.

Problem is, though that a lot of the guys I've run across would actually LIKE that. Hmmmmm

Hey... I could get behind that!!! And I haven't been a bachelor (or bachelorette) since I was about 13!

It makes such sense...

Housework is a CURSE, I tell you.

I like both the dishwasher AND the crotch idea too!

I got a thing for belts... mmmmm.... belts....

But I'm more of a hands-on kind of girl...

Try being a librarian. *sigh*

But here's my hair color story for the week... as you may have guessed I'm pretty much salt-and-pepper at this point, and I don't color it because it is so nicely, evenly graying that it looks pretty neat, really. Except when I'm also ill and exhausted...then I look REALLY gray. But hey, I digress. My mom started getting gray at age 30, and I've known people much younger than I who were almost completely gray, so it isn't an indication of age. .... ANYWAY....

Spouse away at funeral. Mom takes girls to Golden Corral for dinner. "And the ages of the girls?" "9 and 6" "Ma'am, are you by any chance a senior?"

NOT EVEN CLOSE, Frank you very much. :doubleflip

Stereotypes are Fun!

Oh, this is too amusing. Between this list and soda's. . . I can confirm I am not high-maintenance and I think I may be a guy.

It wouldn't be the first time that someone discovered their true gender on
here. Dame Phobos used to think that she was a male, for example
