Damn this blog pissed me off.. What an annoying asshole!! Ugh..
I work as a customer service rep.. and I know how it is to get this idiot fuckin assholes WHO YOU ARE TRYING TO HELP but just do not listen to reason..

Uggggggggh!!

yeah he seriously didn't know what he was talking about.
apparently he came in the next day too and traded his game back for a different copy.
like honestly?
it's not like another copy would have made a difference.
i just can't stand that kind of ignorance.

oh well.

we're better than them =D

That's messed up, u should've just slapped the guy right across the face.

i would have...but he totally wasn't in the store @.@
he was on the phone

women belong in the kitchen

haha you take that back!!
...i can't cook =(

i'm USELESS!! roflz

it's okay. raman noodles are just fine =D

jk lol

Sadly this blog doesn't have much to do about gaming but
I don't think it's that serious there's no need to get that upset. I think you handled it well though. Although most of the time most guys seem to be more knowledgeable about that kind of stuff so I can see his point of view but at the same time that's not saying woman don't know that stuff but most of the time it just so happens they don't no big deal. Although I think he and you should both not take it so seriously. I do think more women and people should know that stuff because knowledge is power.

I didn't go through the same thing as you did but i know how you feel. I really hate guys like that and I wish I could give them all a kick to the face and tell them to kiss my ass.

But these guys are obviously gay and dont like it when vagina is in the penis territory. They feel more comfortable knowing there's another penis to play with. (literally and not literally)

Well said ;)

It amazes me that women are making so many leaps and bounds in the political spectrum and the business world, and yet there will probably always be people this ignorant. I know its just a guy thinking a girl can't know anything about video games, but it is still ignorant to think that there is ANYTHING a guy can do that a girl can't...excluding the whole pee standing up thing lol
Oh well...silly boys!! it's okay tay! Sounds like you handled it very nicely! :)

I hope that women accomplish great things in life because they are very important to society. Sexist comments are wrong and should be talked about to make people understand each others feeling so we can not offend one an other.

hehe aww thanks <3
and, it was actually an older man. like a 50 year old, uneducated man. It was just really shocking to me.
oh well
i'd take him one on one and kick his ass =D
(i hope)

besides...he was calling about Dark Sector...didn't look like such a good game to me.

I play with girls online occansionaly and they way they get either, smack talked like hell, or the they get 'special treatment' where people will sort play worse ina an act to impress them, It really does make me sick.

I work in a store mostly with females (lucky me eh?) and some older men some and rant and rave and call them 'darling' and 'love' if they get angry i take over and ask them to leave. If i could i would say some other things, but i like my job.

LAME!!!

At the jerk on the phone --- not you!

First off, I'm not sure why he would contact a game retail store for something regarding his TV. He should check the manual instead of calling to berate someone.

I definitely know how you feel, Oxytocin. The company I work for, I started in Customer Service and am now doing Risk Management & Investigations. Prior to working in my current position, I always had to hear it from men (more like boys) and women (more like spoiled girls) who thought they knew more than the people who worked at the company they were calling in to. It sucks, but you just have to take it and smile knowing that you're the better person.

If it makes you feel better, I'm definitely worse than you are with first person shooters. I tried Halo (the first one) years ago and I just couldn't get the hang of it. So basically, I have yet to actually play any FPS (although COD4 is looking better and better to me).

hopefully one day I'll get better at those damn FPS @.@
i love them...but sometimes get so frustrated that I just get pissed and frustrated and start playing worse.

Why are most guys so fucked up in the head i could care less if a what gender you are as long as you can answer my question. i don't think he knew much about games if he couldn't figure out why there were bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

he obviously didn't.
he said he "looked it up on youtube"
jesus.

google ftw!

I hate that. I used to get treated like that a ton at Gamestop. I was hired to replace some eye candy who actually knew nothing about games and most people never wanted to talk to me because they figured I didn't play games.

Sadly - Min wage and shit hours isn't the only thing girls have to worry about when working at Gamestop. It's sexism (both friendly and unfriendly) and there's no way around it.

Just sucks that it was done by a customer that comes in often. It makes it harder to say something back without getting fired. If I were you, I'd alert your DM and notify him of the harassment.

Thanks - it's unfortunate that things like that happen to people like you, and me...especially since it's not like we were asking for it.

I did tell my managers - one of them was like talking about how he'd personally call and deal with him (he just wants an excuse to use his firearms ;D)

We just have to stick through it and keep our heads up. Can't let some uneducated prick get us down!

that sucks darlin'... I hate people sometimes I swear. when he comes in kick him in the nuts and shout PWNED!

There is no need to ever resort to violence. Maybe you should make him feel like a king and talk things out. Gets thats why spies like Nicky are so good.

YESS!!! if you were there to back me up it would have been even more kick ass.
you hold him down for me and i'll let him have it.

iloveyouus!
<3 miss talking to you

hey girl that pisses me off just hearing about it! I would have pretended to be a guy just to piss the guy off lmao! And i would have ripped him a new asshole then litteraly do the same thing when he walked through the door! Shit guys like that need to get a reality check! A quick twist of the nuts and a simple question " seeing as though I have the fate of your nuts in my hands let me ask you something... after this experience do you think you will be able to play video games again? hmm i think you will and this proves you dont need a fucking pair of nuts dangling between your legs in order to pull the fucking trigger am i right? I think i want to test this theory in my little dumb mind and giggles uncontrolably" lol its kewl though girl your an amazing person dont let sum slum bag cock sucker who probley lives in his mommies basement and weighs 490lb and speaks through his nose get you down! Thats just putting yourself down if you let it get to you! i heart joo!

wow attacking someone in real life over a comment. Thats not very smart. In court that would be assault and battery and lets just say that wouldn't look good on your record let alone the punishment for it along with the money spent on the case and all of that over a comment. Maybe if you see that person you should talk to him calmly and try to make him understand why his comments hurt you and how he could be more considerate.

awww thanks!
i <3 you too!

but yeah...i'm not letting what he said affect ME personally. but it pisses me off because he was insulting the entire female community, gamer or not.

it's just not right!
i would have curb stomped him, and then broke that PS3 Dark Sector disc over his FACE!

What a jerk. I'd wished he stayed on the line so you could tear him a new asshole.

Well you shouldn't get upset over someone you don't know. Who cares what he thinks. Just tell your manager and move on it really is no big deal.

i was about to! you have NO idea.
i was telling one of my coworkers about it and he goes "wow...i've never seen you this mad before".

like i don't care that he was telling ME that I didn't know anything about games, it's the fact that he did it because I was a girl, and before he even knew me.

ignorance >.< *MEGA SIGH*

yeah some peope are real arsess and you shoud not take it to personaly, oh and a lot of the gameing stores around my employee quite a few female and they are all very knowageable too.

The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me. What an asshole.

ahaha true that, well don't get bothered by that crap.

that does suck. people are ignorant sometimes.

The world can be a disappointing place sometimes. But you don't have to prove yourself to anyone...I think you know that. Respect given is respect received...and I can assure you that guy has no respect left.

Chin up and keep it real.

thanks =D
i'm not trying to prove myself to anyone. i just really wished i could have seen that guy in person and put him in his place. he obviously wasn't very educated...i don't know something about the whole situation just made me want to go CRAZY.
but i'm not feeling down ^^

thanks for your supports!
