Okay, so I was working a descent sized load out tonight. There were several companies involved and I was with the one more or less in charge. So officially I did have the power to give orders to a lot of these guys (though in real life if I did it without a good reason I'd be in a lot of trouble).
Well I had no less than 3 of the guys (from the same (different than mine)company none the less) make stupid sexist comments to me. Apparently everything was too heavy, too hard, or too dangerous for me. I also had some more borderline comments... but they didn't upset me as much.
Best part was one guy who told me to let him do it because I'd get hurt ended up having to have me take over because he got hurt. Might I add it wasn't anything particularly dangerous... he was just doing it stupidly even though I tried to tell him the right way. Plus it went a lot faster once I took over because I didn't insist on doing several steps of the project, holding everyone up while I ran back and forth...
Anyone got any magic ideas for how to get them to stop? This company really has issues (I'm had problems with them a couple times before)...
