Another Clarification

To computer illiterate patrons:

It is not my fault that you do not know how to use the internet. When I tell you that you cannot use Outlook on a public computer without specifying a POP3 server, which the security settings on it will not allow you to do anyway, I am not saying so to be a bitch. I am saying so because it is true. And I am guessing that, since you don't know how to write an email from your web-based account, you also don't know what a POP3 server is. Therefore, when you angrily insist that you always use Outlook on our computers to send email, you are only making youself look more idiotic.

And no, I will not type up your letter for you simply because you don't know how to type. This is not 1950, and I am not your secretary. I am actually allowed to complete more complex tasks than typing up your chicken scratch, even though you are a man and I am a woman. I am smarter than you are; get used to it.

I am also not your servant. That is why I do not look up when you whistle at me because you do not know how to use a computer and want me to tell you how. Snapping your fingers is equally ineffective unless you happen to catch my eye while I am glancing at your screen to make sure you are not looking at porn. And trust me, you do not want me to catch you looking at porn.

That is all.

Amy reconstructs the scene:
"Hey, I've got this letter that needs to be typed, and for some reason, my penis prevents me from using a keyboard. Since you have a vagina, you must automatically want to do my bidding, and are genetically predisposed to typing, cooking, cleaning, and caring for children. Will you have my baby?"
