This isn't merely casual sexism, it's digital sexism - although with the size of the guts on many at clientco I would have thought that the swaying of bellies would achieve the same result...Originally posted by Pondlife View Post<casual sexism>
MS, this is how women have been getting doors opened for them since time immemorial.

Yes I was waiting for that but remeber they are security passes not employment passes - so even high falutin contractors get one.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostGosh I forgot about those special permie passes.
Wear yours with pride working working class hero.
What sparked it though was some guy try to swipe in to the building and we have those tube station style barriers to go through and he was bent so far over he looked like he was licking the thing...

I don't think we can understand the enormity of the task facing you, without photographic evidence of said chest bouncing at the sensorOriginally posted by mudskipper View Post
If I have both hands full (e.g. laptop and tea) I can operate the switch by waving my chest at the sensor, then push the door open with my bum.
Of course it was much easier when HyperD was at clientCo, 'coz he always did the doors for me.
