Probably the whole "OH LOOK, I'M A GAMER GIIIIIIRL" girls out there... You know, the ones who played a Mario game once and dress like sluts to get the attention of guys. It's not everybody, by any means, but there're enough of them to be annoying and generate a stereotype. :/
You would think so, but I guess not all people mature. -_- What is it with people thinking female gamers want to sleep with every guy they talk to about games anyway?
Ouch. o.O I <sarcasm>LOVE</sarcasm> when people do that stuff. When I was in high school, many assumed that I was sleeping with every guy I talked to, even though we were all friends who played video games together. It seems people at my university are more mature, and I would HOPE a manager at a workplace would be even moreso... I guess not. *shakes head* I hope that all works out.

Yeah. I know it happens at a lot of places, not just there. I just find it insulting that people like that can be management period and hold that position. I mean honestly, what in the world do business pay attention to? I know multiple people have complained about her before. It just blows my mind that people allow a manager to bully people around.

Oh boy does that happen too. She sits there and talks to people from other departments for like an hour and everyone else just has to deal with it. That and there is sooo much favoritism that goes on there, it's ridiculous.

That picture is awesome. XD And I think that's what gets me the most, is she allowed to get away with such unprofessional behavior as management. It just ticks me off.
I know right? Guys can sit there and talk about football or games all day and no one goes, oh they're so gay for each other. Just because I have something to say and I'm female, bah.
I know management idiots all too well. They exist in every workplace in the world. Nothing we can do but roll our eyes, know that we're smarter people, and move on.

Dude, I saw what that was before I even scrolled down and saw the hotdog.
I've had that issue too. Sucks being a female gamer sometimes, cause when you talk to people about HOW AWESOME VIDEO GAMES ARE, "oh she wants him, the slut."
Sorry your manager sucks. Hopefully you didn't have to see her today.
Definitely - I more or less feel the same way. I'm playing now but only because this is year 4 at trying to get the Headless Horseman's horse...
Not only does Blizzard know it though, but I think they're actively contributing to it. They're working on another MMO and I think that's where most of their time and attention has gone in the hope that people will jump to it once WoW hits rock bottom.

Heh, you with your dirty mind... like the rest of us lol.
Yeah, you would think as management that's what she is there for, but she has the most abysmal habits and attitude ever, so unprofessional. And many people think that as well.
Oh man, I've been a wow player since Burning Crusade came out, so a loooooong time. I'm the one that's always trying to convert everyone to Horde, remember? XP Although I haven't been on wow in months now. Cata just isn't doing it for me to hold my interests. As far as expansions go, it's the least interesting of the three so far. And Blizz knows it to, you see it's free to play to lvl 20 now? And it's rumored the are thinking of reducing the monthly fee to like $10 or something. I think they know they're flogging and are trying to entice people to play, especially with Guild Wars 2 and The Old Republic getting closer to release.
Sorry you have such a crappy manager - it really does sound like she shouldn't be in her position. Isn't she the one that's supposed to be stopping people from spreading rumors like that instead of spreading them herself? Well, hopefully you at least won't have to deal with her for a couple of days. I'll have my fingers crossed for you.
Also, I had completely forgotten you play WoW! I think I knew once, a while back, but it slipped my mind until yesterday (and now especially today). Maybe I'll see you in game one of these days ^_^
Edit:
Oh, and that picture made me actually laugh...

I know, but sometimes it is hard to shrug it off. I did eventually yesterday, but it took a couple of hours after work.
