Ok, so at my workplace, this nicely dressed guy comes in w/ his family shopping for some glasses. He's clothing is semi formal, carries a tiny briefcase, and inside his briefcase, he has a little leather notebook. He shops around, looks around, and writes down all the prices of what he likes in his notebook. Then he asks me for the price of the lenses, and whips out his calculator, calculates the total(including tax). Then he asks me about insurance. He then makes me calculate his insurance, and see which one is cheaper.
AFter that, he goes about asking me for the type of lenses we have, and wants to know pretty much all the advantages & disadvantages of them all. Then he calculates the total of his glasses, and we finally start his order.
AFter we were done, My boss told meet that "This guy must be some kind of engineer." I was like, yea right. Surely enough, when he came back to pick up his glasses, we asked him, and he said we were right. He was in fact, a civil Engineer. After he leaves, my boss then goes on saying that those are the characteristics of an engineer.
Wow, so do you think that is true? Do all enginners have that habit? taking notes on what they want, wanting exact price quotes(plus tax), wanting to know everything we have to offer, carry a briefcase, etc etc etc??
Is it just that *thing* that they build up during their school years or what??
anybody have any experiences similar to mine? are you an engineer? do you act like that sometimes??
