Bought a dishwasher from Argos and just filled in their customer satisfaction survey, giving them top marks throughout.

Then they asked me the question below. AIBU to find the wording offensive?

It feels as if for example being a wheelchair user is something a person can opt out of if they identify as someone with no mobility issues.

Offensive is very melodramatic. Just tick prefer not to say.

In what way are you offended?

Is it not so they can ask further questions to make sure the website/ordering process was appropriately accessible if you have one of those issues?

It’s badly worded but “offensive” is a bit of an extreme response!

I would not answer this question, I can’t see any reason to when buying a dishwasher! I assume it’s there to gather info about diversity but there are limits!

I am assuming you didn't like "do you identify as" versus just asking if you have one of the following condition.
As if it is choice?
I do agree it is awkwardly written.

What is it, specifically, you are finding offensive ?

Do you identify as...

Identifying as something doesn't mean you are or you have something.

Uhm, what wording exactly do you find offensive?

DontKnowHelpMe · 28/04/2025 14:51

"Do you have..."
