So I had a woman call me about doing a pick up today. Apparently, she called over the weekend and talked to my husband.

Well she is telling me what she has and I told her, "excellent what time is good for me to come get the stuff?"



Her response was, "Wait you mean.... YOU are going to come carry this stuff??"

I told her, "Yes, I do almost every pick up. I have no problem moving heavy material and can dead lift 158 lbs easily."

Her response, which offended me was, "Well you sound like such a small woman. I don't think you can do this. I really insist you have your husband come do the pickup when he can. You definitely wouldn't be able to do this by yourself."

Of course being professional I told her I would have my husband come do the pickup if that's what she would like. However, it really annoyed me. What because I am a woman I can't do heavy lifting?

I am sure not many of you have experience this before but it is frustrating, but of course I must be polite and let people do/say what they want. Don't want to lose any business.
