          Lack of interest or sexist hiring practices? Couldn’t tell you. Tbf, it was often enough that it would be a single tech dispatched to a home or business, and given this was years ago, there may have been a corporate safety factor. Some of the people were definitely weirdos and I could only imagine how that might’ve been an issue if the tech was a solo woman. There were some jobs I walked away from because the customer creeped me out and I’m a 6’3" 240lb dude.

        Well yes, but it’s a bit ridiculous for a company to provide a male-oriented contraption, and then just say “tough, adapt” to the women in their workforce.
