and to hate the casual sexism from male garage workers
Took car to the garage, patronising young guy " would you like me to reverse that out for you?"
No thanks, I've been driving since you were in nappies mate. I've had this car for 5 years, it belongs to me, not my husband. I know how to look after the engine, I know what tyres it takes, and I can fit those tyres by myself
Car hire guy when I was changing a car( for price reasons) "is it too big for you, can't you park it?"
Tyre garage guy
" ooh these are really expensive" proceeds to quote 30% extra
Er, you really think I don't know how much they cost?
I'll go to a garage that doesn't assume I'm stupid thank you
AIBU?
To think women are perfectly capable of driving and parking "big cars"?
