Yesterday we had a plumber recommended to us to come and look at our boiler. As I've had a really busy week I asked DH to get in touch with him and sort out the times. When the plumber (looked late 50s) arrived my parents happened to be over. I showed plumber through to the kitchen, he diagnosed the problem then told me that he'd text the cost and breakdown details to my DH. I told him he could tell me but he insisted on texting DH as he had his number.
When I went to fetch the paperwork that the plumber wanted he filled DF in on the problem and even told him the cost but he still wouldn't tell me! I half jokingly told the plumber that DH wouldn't have been able to find the paperwork, but still he wouldn't discuss the technicalities! I'm quite taken aback as, and I'm lucky to say this, I've never dealt with this attitude before.
AIBU, was the plumber acting normally because DH had made the booking and I'm reading too much into this or is his attitude because I'm a woman?
