Why the fuck is it that when things are goin good some motherfucker has to fuck something up?????
New guy at work. Can't fucking keep track of his leg wraps. The velcro part keeps coming off of the damn things and I've been taking mine home and sewing them up. Well this new guy snags three sets of my leg wraps from my box. So I go over to him, and tell him he can't do that.
He gives me a dirty look, tells me to fuck off and kneels down and starts wrapping one around this horses leg.
I yell to the other guy that's been working there for fucking years. Tell him what's up. He looks at me, he looks at the new guy and he says (and I can't fucking believe this) "So, fix the rest of the wraps."
NOT MY FUCKING JOB ASSHOLE. FIX YOUR OWN FUCKING WRAPS.
I say "why don't you fucking fix them?"
He laughs and tells me it's girls work.
GIRLS WORK!!!
What do you think I said to that???
You got it. I said "FUCK OFF!!!"

OK,
I think it is time for the much dreaded “Lemonade” analogy.
You are surrounded by a bunch of guys who are more than ready to define what “women’s work” is and you could get into all sorts of trouble with them over this debate. The owner will undoubtedly side with his male employees.
So why not take another approach? Next time you are dutifully trailing behind the owner, mention the problem with the Velcro failing, mention that you had been taking the leg wraps that * YOU NEED TO GET YOUR WORK DONE* home and fixing them. *ON YOUR OWN TIME!* you might gently mention that the “New guy” has seen fit to grab your newly refurbished leg wraps *INTENDED FOR YOUR ASSIGNED HORSES* and use them on his assignments.
Pointing out that your job, ( along with aforementioned new guy/asshole), ultimately, is to care for the horses, would it not be a good idea to either a) find another brand of leg wrap that didn’t fail or b) give you extra money to go home and repair said equipment?
Please point out that this is not “women’s work”…. It is a collective team effort to care for the animals.
If you think that you are on a roll, squeeze in a question about when you could get riding lessons…
I have a feeling that you would be a great equestrian!
Outis
I think I could do that Outis. I'll give it a try anyway.
i probably would have punched him and been out of a job...
I really thought about doing that, but I like this job.
