[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re a guy, right, OP?

[b]Sometimes women have to be aggressive to be taken seriously and get what they want.  Frustrating, but true.[/b][/quote]

This.

If she was yelling or screaming, that would be out of bounds.

[b]But women get taken advantage of, especially with contractors, when they're nice and sweet. [/b]We have to be aggressive and firm to be taken seriously. [/quote]

I have to disagree with this. It may be true sometimes, but kindness and respect have always worked for me. When I was having extensive electrical upgrades done on my house, I treated my electrician and his crew really well and was treated well in return. Small example: I offered coffee when they arrived, had soft drinks available in an extra fridge for them, and offered them a plate of food when the work ran long and they stayed into the dinner hour. They bent over backwards please me. If I decided on an extra outlet or whatever, they did it without charge. When they had to empty my pantry to install some recessed lights, they organized all my food when they put it back. Tidy rows of beans, pasta, and everything all sorted and lined up. [/quote]

[b]So you played the good little woman role..[/b]

FYI they  contractor didn't just show up and OP's wife was rude.  He canceled their appointment and then had no idea of the job he was supposed to perform, he was unprofessional OP's wife  called him out on this.[/quote]

Nope. I just treat people well. Are you playing a role whenever you do that? [/quote]

I treat people well too. I also expect them to do their jobs as professionals.  I've manged to get along just fine in the world, no cookie baking needed,except for Santa.[/quote]
