Lately I\u2019ve been doing this thing where when men give me shit at my job, I choose to instead speak to their wives\/girlfriends\/female counterpart. I had a dude today try to yell at me and I ignored him and instead spoke in a very level voice to his wife instead. He literally stomped his feet like a fucking toddler and said \u201cstop ignoring me! I\u2019m talking!\u201d And his wife said \u201cGeorge, please use a quieter voice. You\u2019re embarrassing me.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You are a genius and I\u2019m using this <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Lol I learned it from my mom. She does this all the time and eventually the guy either sulks off somewhere or adjusts his behaviour and THEN she\u2019ll address him. I did this with my friends puppies when I was training them and it works the same tbh <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Whenever a married couple calls in escalated, I always address whichever one seems the most rational. 9\/10 it\u2019s the wife. Usually, the husband gets cut out of the conversation until we\u2019re done.<\/p>\n

Memorable quotes:<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s explaining it to me now and you were wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHoney, stop talking so the nice lady can help us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy don\u2019t you go have some coffee while Amelia and I figure this out? Hmmmm?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand it and I will explain it to you later. Let me get this taken care of.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand, sweetie, can you explain it to my husband real quick? [aside] Now, you listen to this lady and don\u2019t interrupt!\u201d<\/p>\n

Calm wives in the face of their overemotional husbands are a customer service lifeline.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
