    Mr tough guy should go to a pub in northern Ireland and try that crap instead of harassing some poor woman just trying to do her job.

    I mean we did this at school. But we were kids.

    I’ve met so many civil engineers who are hateful little tossers, there might (might) be something wrong with the industry in that regard. Or maybe it just attracts macho dudes.

        I guess so. Thought generally all the ones i meet who aren’t civils are… well, more civil xD

        As a kid and teenager all the people who said they wanted to be engineers were also patently aggressive priviliged snobs. PAPS.

        All doctors I’ve met are nice, tbh. Maybe not the case for med students but I don’t interact with them much

    I mean, is he offering? I take mine baked. I’d rather be called a potato than to have no potatoes. Sorry if i resemble the remark…
