“Women can't handle technology. I'm not an expert by any means, but whenever I have an IT issue I can't even finish explaining it before I'm dismissed by the tech guy. Most recently, my laptop charger broke. I went to the store, bought a new one, cost me 15e.

My boyfriend has the exact same laptop, requires the exact same charger and when he went into the store to buy it, it was 6e. I went back, grumpy, and asked why and the guy got embarrassed and told me they up the price for women because they assume I don't know what the charger is actually worth. I got my money back but I was fuming. It's an ongoing saga of me vs tech people though.”
