SideQuest 12: Tales from the Field: Home Depot Audacity & 911 Calls

Welcome back to the Side Quest! 🎧 This week, we are off the leash and bringing you a brand new edition of "Tales from the Field".If you've ever dealt with unwarranted comments in the hardware store or accidentally become the star of your own true-crime podcast, this episode is for you. We are sharing three highly chaotic stories from our day-to-day lives as female contractors.In this episode, we cover:The "What Do You Do With Those?" Incident: Arly’s trip to Home Depot to buy prizes, where a man couldn't fathom that a woman would know how to use pens and measuring tapes.The Concrete Critique: Samantha gets told by a male shopper that "women shouldn't be carrying" 50lb bags of concrete—only for him to immediately walk away without actually offering to help her carry them.A "Tumultuous Tuesday": Emily arrives at a home estimate for a senior grab-bar program, only to find herself in the middle of a neighborhood screaming match. She breaks down the agonizing 911 call, trying to stealthily flee in a branded "How to Handyma'am" vehicle, and ultimately faceplanting into an unplowed snowbank right as the police arrive.Join The Village!All our links in one place: linktr.ee/howtohandymaam•howtohandymaam.comFollow us on Instagram & Facebook: @HowToHandymaamEmail us your stories and questions: [email protected]
