I was giving a short presentation about my experience at the Women’s March last year, and my male CD interrupted me to explain what the Women’s March was.

Director 1 - He basically said that it was a ‘very important moment for women’s voices to be heard’ and randomly added that he ‘followed the protests via Twitter the day of.’ (thanks dude, your trophy’s in the mail.) I wish I had a clever retort in the moment for that first one, but I was so taken aback I just picked back up from where he had interrupted me.

I guess it was a hybrid of manterrupting and mansplaining.

Colleague said “oh hello, who the fuck are you?” When I brought up what I guess was an unwanted opinion. This was years ago when I was more junior.

“By establishing shot I meant wide shot”
This is wide.
“Wider than that. To establish the scene”
You didn’t shoot that
“We need to establish the scene”
With something you shot, or something imaginary?

I got hired to be the SME on a particular tech platform at my current company. I have more experience on it than my boss does, yet during a code review, he insisted that I delete a section of code that was perfectly functional and shippable and swap in his preferred code. Two hours later, he figured out that the reason why there were more than a few compiler errors in the code was because my code actually worked… smh.

A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit
