Yeah, a lot of these apply to men too.
I’m worried about men. I was in Lowe’s a couple days ago trying to purchase some aluminum angle. THREE guys didn’t know what that was. I amplified and said “I need some structural metal.” Blank stares. I said “You know, metal angles, channels, square tubes, round tubes, bar stock.” They looked at me as if I were a cyclops. I wandered the aisles until I finally found the metals section.
To his credit, one youngster went off to find the Grand Old Man of Lowe’s Who Knows Things and brought him over to me. The rack was out of 1” x 1” x 1/8” angle aluminum, but the Grand Old Man climbed the portable stairs and found some way up high.
Does anybody under 40 make anything anymore? Does anybody under 40 know anything about metal and fabrication?
Moral of my story: we shouldn’t just go slamming women for not knowing about those dashboard lights. Their male counterparts seem to be working at Lowe’s.
