My experience with the phrase "PMSing"

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - My experience with the phrase "PMSing"

Posted: 8/29/2004 8:17:31 PM EDT

So today at work my cash register went on the fritz when i was helping a male customer. As a joke I said that my computer was PMSing. The customer chuckled.

Then all the sudden my female coworker blew up in my face and called me a sexist and yelled at me for a couple minutes strait.

My friends were shopping in the store at this time and heard this whole conversation. When they checked out the made fun of the anecdote above. Then my coworker starts bitching at THEM. Sometimes I dont understand people with two X chromosomes.

I believe that using the term PMSing is a poor excuse

this is the very reason people at work think im a no-fun stiff...i never say a word. i dont talk to other employees. i do my job and get the fuck out.

i dont want to deal with people...simply because i dont want to put myself in those situations.

when i get home its a different story,

i have opinions like everybody else and i can debate them accodingly to dumb asses.

at work,.you're not paid to joke...you're paid to be PC and not offend anyone.

When your co-worker is PMSing, DO NOT refer to PMSing. You might as well use the Cxxx word.

Maybe she is sick of PMS being a catchall for every bad mood a female has. You guys have your bad moods but they don't get labeled by gender. I dare say women have more bad moods because of men than menses.

Where I work, we totally objectify women (like it should be).

Granted in a Dodge dealership you dont get many hot women. So it makes it a little more difficult.
