Maybe that is where the saying "Behind every successful man there lurks a woman who's in charge." comes from.
I once had to deal with a pompous idiot who wouldn't believe that I was the person who had been brought in to see if his 'precious' crumbling ceiling bosses could be restored in situ. He insisted in speaking to John who had driven me to the job. Painting and guilding 25ft up on top of scaffolding was man's work don't ya know.
