Sexist SC's

So the story starts with me mopping the floor (it was raining out) by the entranceway. A nice looking man of about 60 years approaches me.
M = me
H = him

H: Ah you're the maintenance guy...
M: Yep
H: I used to do this...I was a cop for 30 years,but I suffered an injury on the job. So instead of retiring I became the police station janitor.
M: Oh wow (I was sincerely interested)
H: Yea...well,at least you're not working for women!
M: ......

He walks away with a smile as I stand there literally staring at the door. The ironic thing,most of the people above me are women.

I've seen that guy numerous times since this incident,and I have not said anything to him or really even acknowledged him. He seemed nice when he came in,but...

I get that at work.

When I first started, the front end manager was female. The Assman was also female. There were maybe 3-4 male sups, the rest were all female. The deli, bakery and seafood departments were the only ones to have female managers at the time. Perishables was also female, the other two departments-groceries and nightfill-were male.

Now?

Front End: Male. Assistant: female. All the sups are female. (liquor manager and his assman are also male)
Groceries/Perishables: Both male.
Nightfill: ditto.
Deli/seafood/bakery: all female.
Produce/meat: Both male. (whoops, missed that above )

Our SM is male. His two Assmans are also male. One takes care of the front end and groceries/perishables, the other one takes care of the produce/deli etc.

What makes me laugh, I get this about five times a day, is that they'll want to see the manager and ask me:

"Where is she?"

"Umm....he's over there."

I had a lovely job interview for a technical drafting company years ago.
The interviewer knew my old company, and knew I did similar work there.
(splitting my time between the drawing office and reception.).

but he kept asking me "you know this is not a glamorous position, right?"
(detailing structural steelwork? of course that's going to be a glamorous job..)

and "will working with 5 men be an issue?"

I was so tempted to say "no problem! one for every day of the working week, right?"

Somebody at a job interview asked me if I minded taking orders from a woman,
my reply "I've been married for 15 years what do you think"

I should build a small device that lets you play that soundfile wherever you go.
