On Sunday my friend and I were at Home Depot looking at laminate flooring and tiles. Of course the tile we want is not on the shelf, it's in backstock. The guy who pulled two boxes for us made a point of telling us how hard it is to lay tile, and suggested we have a man do it. I'm not sure if he had to pull the big man, little woman trick cause we were women, or cause I was wearing hijab. (probably a combo of both)
Whatever his reason, I wanted to reach over and give the schmuck a smack on the back of the head. So did she. We both decided we deserved a latte for our self restraint.
Memo to the CEO of Home Depot: Chauvinist store associate attitudes will result in head smacks from irate lady remodelers, and potentially lead to loss of sales.

Laying tile is hard? No it takes a while but I have done an entire kitchen alone and Polygymy Lover(a fellow blogger) while on bed rest retiled her entire bathroom....
LOL I luaghed alot at your post .men can be so stupid .I suppose it was the way he said it ?
Men want to believe we can't do anything without them.
Haven't we proven them wrong?
I don't know if it's because you are woman or because they charge $7 installation per square foot and want to sell installation to you that is more expensive than the product itself. They tried to sell it to my husband and me a few years ago when we took on a tiling project..
good luck!
