@nprofile1q... my boss when I worked at an auto shop could be a real piece of shit sometimes but one thing he didn't truck with was disrespecting the knowledge or the technical abilities of the women* who worked here. I would go out in the shop and fix issues with the mechanics computer equipment because I was knowledgable in that area and could probably fix it in 5-15 minutes vs having to call the IT company to come out in like 3 days. I was making some ethernet cables to fix one of my boss' fuck ups one day and a new mechanic came in and tried to take the punchdown tool out of my hand. Boss dressed him down for touching my tools without permission and sticking his nose where it didn't belong (no he didn't fucking know how to make a cable) and he looked like he wanted to melt into the floor.

*I hadn't had that revelation yet so close enough, not really relevant.
