First I made sure my 24mm socket would fit the old sensor and it looked like it would work fine.
Then I went to my local A uto P arts S tore© and told them year make and model and waited for them to do the jazz hands routine and ask me what part I needed. They showed me a picture on the screen and I verified that was what I needed and the lady went to find the sensor.
Meanwhile that guy in the line next to me was trying to get the obviously much younger (but still very obviously adult) cash ie r to come home and help him install whatever parts he was picking up. She looked to be enjoying his advances.
Then my part arrived from the back. My parts lady opened the box to show me the sensor I had previously verified on the screen. It was the right sensor. Then she says, “Aww () it’s cute! It’s much smaller than I expected. I thought it would be bigger .”
All I could think is
and I burst out laughing.
If it had been a guy helping me out I probably would have told him that now he sounds like my wife, but I said nothing. Just laughed until she looked at me confusedly then I stopped, cleared my throat and finished our transaction.
My wife thought the exchange was hilarious.

Way to avoid making a potentially awkward situation really creepy!
When I was in my 20s, I never had to think about that. Now that I’m 40, I feel like every interaction with a female is just one quip away from a #MeToo story, at least in her mind.

My daughter has started looking for situations to say, “that’s what she said”. I’m trying to be adult and not laugh so as not to irk my wife.
It’s not working very well.

You have to think like that now to survive in the workplace.

It was difficult not to say any thing. Her cluelessness just heightened it.

They wouldn’t call it adulting if it was easy.
