The better word is "asshole". I've had similar condescending conversations from women when I was at the laundromat because I guess they assumed a guy would only be doing laundry in a direction circumstance.

Ask any question on stack overflow about a specific edge case and you'll get a few people answering immediately about the general case and not your specific problem.
