Sexist comment overheard today, AIBU to complain?

[CoffeeBreakIn5]

I was in the bank today being served by an assistant, there was a lady being served next to me and the male manager serving her was having trouble with the computer. After a minute or so he said "sorry about this, the computer is being female." The lady replied to him with, "sorry?" and the assistant serving me raised her eyebrows but didn't look up from what she was doing. A lady from the long queue behind us said "I'd poke him in the eyes for saying that" to which the lady being served agreed with nervous laughter. The manager replied with "Ah now that's why I wear glasses". The lady got her things together and left quickly. The manager was just staring at her, like he wanted her to react or something.

I'm disgusted at this manager, AIBU to complain to the bank? There is no way that someone should be expressing those views and believing they are prefectly reasonable, or was he making a bad joke/badly judged comment and I've made more out of it than I should have?

I think he probably put his foot in his mouth and didn't mean harm, but I would have definitely said something -being the gobby person I am-

I'd complain.

Complete knob head.
I probably would have said something tbh. Just questioned him. And what do you mean by than exactly? Head tilt.
Let him worm his way out.

By 'lady', did you mean 'woman'? And yes obviously I would have complained. It's got to start somewhere!

What's wrong with 'lady'?

Lady/woman/girl/female - the person was next to me, rather than in front of me. Is 'lady' the wrong thing to say?

I'm kicking myself for not saying something, but I turned around to a huge queue that I'd been holding up for about ten minutes and bottled it.

Are you a regular in there? Next time he serves you just say "oh you're the one who referred to incompetent machines as female" aren't you?

I would have said, (with a big fat grin,) 'it's a good job it's not being male, or it would be asleep, snoring, and cracking off stinky farts.'

Fire with fire yada yada.

Don't get mad, get even.

I wouldn't report it, as I doubt he meant any harm, but be ready with a sharp retort next time.

I wouldn't complain to the bank, I'd (if I was not in a rush), have made a jokey comment to him to let him know it was unacceptable but not come down too heavily, as a pp said, foot in mouth syndrome.

I think reporting him to his employer is just too heavy handed and OTT. I also firmly believe life would be better if more people just TALKED to each other to express opinions in a measured way, instead of, ages after the event, looking to 'report'.

I think I would have jokingly said well as the female computer seems to have your balls in her grasp, maybe I will move to the more competent female teller, who seems to be able to work more efficiently

Love some of these responses! Think I'll go back in I'll call him on it. I agree with reporting being a bit heavy handed but I can't just leave it.

thequeenoftarts I wish I'd said that, it's the perfect response!
