What's with women not understanding GFIs?

submitted by Nosferatjew to whatever 3 monthsJan 7, 2025 14:08:06 ago (+16/-2)     (whatever)

"The hair dryer isn't working. Can you look at it? I think it's broken."

"It's probably just the GFI. Just hit the reset button."

"G..F..what? I'm pushing the button on the hair dryer, but it's not working!"

"No no. The GFI, the outlet. Just hit the reset button."

"Yeah, it's plugged in. I'm not that stupid."

"The outlet, it has 2 buttons on it. Do you see the 2 buttons?"

"It says 'high', 'low', and 'turbo'."

"The the hair dryer. I'm talking about the outlet."

"...can you just come here and look at it. It's still not working."

Dude...the other day at work I get a support ticket about audio not working in the jail courtroom. I get down there and a bunch of women start squawking about it not working.

I hit the power button and walked out.

This is the the most believable story I've ever read on the internet.

pushing that second button is the same as opening a can of biscuits.

Believe me she knows about the reset button on the outlet. She just wants you to do it.

[ - ] Nosferatjew [op] 7 points 3 monthsJan 7, 2025 14:22:17 ago (+7/-0)

Believe me, she hasn't a clue.

[ - ] Gowithit 2 points 3 monthsJan 7, 2025 14:30:28 ago (+2/-0)

lol. She's better at it than I was.

[ - ] VitaminSieg 0 points 3 monthsJan 7, 2025 18:03:59 ago (+0/-0)

But why does she want negative attention?

[ - ] Gowithit 1 point 3 monthsJan 7, 2025 18:20:32 ago (+1/-0)

Its not negative attention its just preferable if someone else does it.

It's a trope actually, the woman who has a thug do her dirty work.

Usually her son, or a simp.

Not just reset buttons, they have on/off switches on the outlet in some parts of the world.

I once told a woman that I was changing a fuse.
She asks me, "What's a fuse?"

fucked me up so bad I still tell random people on the internet about it.

I do handyman jobs on the side for easy under the table cash. I have made hundreds of dollars pushing the reset button on GFI outlets and I am a fucking hero to a dozen old ladies

[ - ] Nosferatjew [op] 1 point 3 monthsJan 8, 2025 08:17:22 ago (+1/-0)

Old broads get a pass.

Funny! I've had this very conversation with EVERY female in my family.

[ - ] Thought_Criminal 1 point 3 monthsJan 7, 2025 18:36:40 ago (+1/-0)

...was said woman in a state of undress? ...or doing something different with her hair? ...maybe you're a bit dense?

[ - ] Nosferatjew [op] 1 point 3 monthsJan 7, 2025 23:35:43 ago (+1/-0)

Between you and me brother, one of us is married, and it ain't you.

If they're good White Mothers I give them a hard pass. They have one fucking job.

Oh the blow dryer messer-upper thingy. Yeah I know what it is

[ - ] big_fat_dangus 0 points 3 monthsJan 7, 2025 17:03:20 ago (+0/-0)

Why bother to blow dry what your yom tov hat is just going to cover up?

[ - ] PostWallHelena 0 points 3 monthsJan 7, 2025 17:31:59 ago (+1/-1)

Jewcusation == desperation.

Just surrender already. I hate to see you embarass yourself like this.

[ - ] big_fat_dangus 0 points 3 monthsJan 7, 2025 18:17:30 ago (+0/-0)

Give the broom back, helena. Some little kid isn't going to make it to her quiddich match because of you.

[ - ] PostWallHelena -1 points 3 monthsJan 7, 2025 18:47:12 ago (+1/-2)

Go on a diet, dursley.

[ - ] big_fat_dangus 0 points 3 monthsJan 7, 2025 18:51:58 ago (+0/-0)

Who?

[ - ] PostWallHelena 1 point 3 monthsJan 7, 2025 20:23:23 ago (+1/-0)

Feigned ignorance. If you weren’t trying to prove you didn’t know, you would have just looked it up.

[ - ] big_fat_dangus 0 points 3 monthsJan 7, 2025 20:40:07 ago (+0/-0)

It's sad, to see your memory decay. Although somewhat satisfying to watch as your arrogant cunt personality is deconstructed piece by piece.

I hate that shit so much. They try to laugh it off but to me it draws attention to their foolishness.

I have a relatable anecdote:

"Hey Her0n we put in a new furnace oscillator back in October and ever since then, your program doesn't work right. The safety lights are lit up for when it's gone too far one way or the other! It won't move in auto, but it moves in manual! Can you come fix the program?"

When I got there, I went to the panel and saw they opened the terminal fuse on the neutral side for my controls, wasn't anything to do with the safety system.

I pushed the fuse back in and the system fired right up. After I told them what I found/did the guy who called me says "Well we still need the program fixed, it wasn't going in auto!"

It was just us in the room at this point so I said "No shit it wasn't going in auto. The plc had no clue where the oscillator was, would you want it to move the wrong direction? Why would you not make sure all your fuses are plugged in before calling me to just put fuses in for you?"

I was packing up my things and walking myself to the office to put in my paperwork for them. I didn't hear him if he responded, it's loud by the furnace. This guy calls me about once every two months for stupid shit like this, then acts like it's still my work that's the issue.

Fucking sledgehammer technicians.

then acts like it's still my work that's the issue.

This is why I stopped helping people fix shit for free. A couple of family members I'll fix stuff for, because I know they're good, that's about it.

Because a lot of them are quite literally retarded. Unfortunately you picked a retard who would rather inconvenience you than take 3 seconds to think about something. It's like some of them are incapable of learning anything useful.
