I have not only changed my eBay password, but my passwords on countless other websites, all without having to call customer service OR having a penis. I must be a friggin’ genius.
I’d say probably once a month. I usually respond with a serious but professional, “I’m the Vice President of the company. How can I help you today?” Oddly, about 60% of the time, the person asking to speak to a man is a woman. Talk about self loathing.
Seriously, how did you come to the conclusion that the person’s gender was the problem? I could understand if you had said “Please put me through to your supervisor,” or “Please put me through to your level 2 tech support” or something like that. But what made you immediately think that talking to a man would yield more favorable results?
Could you elaborate on this, please?
He learned the hard way (ha!) not to buy his ED pills from Pablo down by the docks.
He knew that once those words were out of his mouth the very next person he spoke to would have been informed that they needed to use smaller words?
Not exactly .
The moral of the story is that after 10 (could have been more) calls to the Ebay helpline, their software still wouldn’t allow me to revise a listing, ( after I had successfully changed my Ebay password).
After these 10+ calls, (all of which were anwered by women) I requested to speak to a man.
He fixed the problem.
QED.
QFT
Maybe the fact that you asked to speak to a supervisor was the difference, not because he was a man?
Beyond here be dragons.
And if it actually does take a man, does that mean you’re a woman? Or just an inept man?
Wow. What industry are you in?
You may well be “a friggin’ genius” for all I know, but you still don’t seem to grasp what I stated in the OP and in subsequent posts.
I had no problem changing my password, the problem was that the Ebay software would not allow me to revise a listing. This was an internal problem with Ebay, bugger all to do with me.
Geddit, genius ?
After speaking to a male representative, (after speaking fruitlessly to 10+ female reps) the problem was resolved.
QED.
Not to say that your Latin skills are equal to your eBay skills, but you’re not using “QED” correctly.
100% of the time, this means you’re about to say the most chauvinistic thing in the world.
QED.
I would dispute that.
My contention is that the evidence which I cite proves my conclusion.
Quod erat demonstrandum.
You may fault my logic if you wish, but my use of classical acronyms is impeccable (if I do say so myself)
You haven’t actually stated a premise, although you’ve implied generally that men are more competent (at solving problems, at technical issues, you haven’t said); you’ve failed to show how it supports your conclusion; and you’re inserting “QED” into every other post, which makes me think you want it to mean “So there.” What you’re actually engaging in is post hoc ergo propter hoc thinking: you had a problem, it wasn’t solved when you spoke to women in tech support but was solved after you spoke to a male supervisor, ergo men are better than women at [something - again, you haven’t said].
But I am sure you think your use of Latin acronyms is impeccable. You don’t have to QED me on that one.
His knowledge of the words of the acronym QED has been proven impeccable.
His logic is peccable.
Word.
