[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 33909, member: 831"] Unfortunately, my car has been in a couple of accidents in the last few years. Neither being my, or DHs, fault. The insurance companies duked it out over who was going to pay what. I've always negoiated, and bought, the cars. The last one husband wasn't even present. Though, I had done a ton of research regarding price and options and knew what I wanted. I've been condescended to a few times. Anything that is male dominated tends to be that way. The worst I ever got is in a sporting goods store years ago. First, they completely ignore me, my mom, and my sister. Yet, when I man walks in, they run to greet him. Well, well, I wasn't about to let that go. I ask the cashier to call the manager. I get, "oh, he's busy on the phone". Fine, call the Asst. Manager. I wait, and wait, and wait. Finally, some young, very tall, man comes out. Now, I'm tall and yet has his hands behind his back and leans down to speak to me as if I were a child. I get a snippy, "something I can help you with?" I look directly at him, leaned in close to his to his face and say, "Yeah, YOU might want to consider ripping some new a**ho*es around this joint, because you see that store across the street (I pointed to a competitor), THAT'S where we are going to spend our money since NOT ONE of your salespeople even bothered to acknowledge our presense. I see you train your employees to ignore customers.So, please consider THIS a** ripping MY gift to YOU. Buh Bye!" The guy didn't move a muscle. He was frozen in stunned silence. And off we went to the competitor. [/QUOTE]
