[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 242118, member: 7185"] Amen, Harley. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the women that survive at UPS. Indeed, some seem to even thrive, surprisingly enough. Tooner, Aspen and all others, I mean this in the sincerest form: those of you that [I]can[/I] and [B]do[/B] work as hard as the men, have my eternal respect. Those that can't are a disappointment. I mean absolutely no offense when I say this but I really don't want to go head-to-head with a female UPS'er! They are tougher than NAILS!!!! I made the grievous error of making one of them mad at my old hub. I said something--not sexist, just insulting--to one of them. In response, she dropped a box weighing about 30lbs on my poor friend's foot. He threw his head back and screamed, "EEEEEOWWWWW!!" I almost collapsed I laughed so hard. After I'd settled her down from dropping one on my foot, I told the poor guy what had happened. He laughed with me, actually. He managed to say, "Man, you can say [I]that[/I] to her anytime! I'd let her drop a box on my foot again if I could tell her the same!" Again, not sexist, just honest but she took it as an insult. This was three or four years ago now and I forget what I said. I'm not a sexist pig. -Rocky [/QUOTE]
