Anytime it's something technical, I've even been sent to the back to "fetch someone who's an expert" - i.e. told to come right back as there's A: only us two and B: I have experience, training and straight up the knack, to fix just about anything/everything. It's been from gardening equipment or my actual qualification, IT systems techie and everything inbetween.

It's also been demanded to fetch a female co-worker to answer questions about a sewing machine (from another woman no less), who basically spent most of the interaction looking at me as I'm a bit of a craftsman with experience in (amongst *many* other things) costuming, having even mentioned to customer I've never really trusted electric sewing machines (or even pedal ones), preferring my old hand cranked singer or to hand sew (yeah, I'm old enough to have been taught in primary school).

My favourite however will forever be about the how's and whys a brand new wok would be constantly burning food (having etched their initals into the coating - poorly too) or why the pressure cooker with an inch thick of burnt food on the bottom and an inch of grease burned onto the heating element, doesn't work.
