So most Friday night's my sister and BIL and my ex H will come round for a takeaway/tipple.

We usually go to the same place each time because it's nice food, quick delivery etc.

BIL or Ex H answers the door whilst we get the plates. It's always same driver in red cavalier.

Can always hear BIL/exHmaking small talk, weather, busy? Etc

So they haven't been for a few weeks so me and DP decide to order. My DP is a woman.

Food arrives and door opens, she says hello, thankyou, is there drinks? And thanks goodnight.

All silence besides that, I thought it must have been my hearing but when she walks in I said "did he reply to you?"
She says 'no. He ignored me completely. Wouldn't even look at me

So I ran out Blush and asked why he felt it acceptable to completely ignore a customer when she was talking to him and to not even say you're welcome when thanked. First he pretended he couldn't hear me then pretended he didn't speak english. I know he does because we've ordered from them for over a year!

He half mumbled 'sorry' (whilst looking through receipts Hmm and wound the window up and drove off.

This was last night. I was going to call the shop but thought nothing would be done.

But AIBU to he annoyed that he would have a full convo with BIL and DH but wouldnt even look at my girlfriend?

It's not just poor grammar there's a completely made up word too. Also the op has 'disappeared'.

I've now got the Benny Hill theme tune running through my head along with a mental image of the OP chasing the delivery driver down the street.
So kind of Benny Hill sketch in reverse lol Grin

Dammit, now that's going to be in my head for the rest of the week!

Bloody forriners , treating our women with discontempt Hmm

LipstickHandbagCoffee · 04/04/2018 20:58

I use a delivery service we don’t do much talkin just handing over bags of food

PoorYorick · 04/04/2018 21:03

Now is the winter of our discontempt?

(My apologies to that poster if English is not your first language, but the opportunity was too good to let pass.)

BlancheM · 04/04/2018 23:34

Cool story....You really socked it to him didn't you 😂

BadLad · 04/04/2018 23:34

You spend most of your Friday nights in your dressing gown with your ex husband and your lesbian lover?

And her sister and brother-in-law, whose names, I suspect, must be Donald and Jacqueline.

Friday nights there sounds infinitely more interesting than mine. I'm usually trying to tell the kids to feck off to bed so I can watch some telly, slob in my PJs and watch shite on telly whilst shovelling Doritos into my gob in peace Grin
(where did my Friday nights down t'pub go)

You're beyond ridiculous.

Lacucuracha · 05/04/2018 05:30

refused to acknowledge a thank you

Martha is really clutching straws. Very rarely do people say 'you're welcome' when I thank them. They are not offensive for not saying thank you.

I doubt OP would have behaved this way with a white delivery man.

This takeaway should be so grateful for business that they should bow and scrape to OP and her gf.

And yes, weird that the women get plates and the mean deal with money, given op's vehemence.

Dandellion · 05/04/2018 10:24

I agree with the poster who said the OP had been itching to cause some drama over her new relationship for ages. I think the OP was indulging in some performance partnering, to show how much she lurves her new partner. I expect the OP assumed others would look on admiringly as she 'socked it to' the delivery driver. Instead everyone else was busy slicing pizza and checking they had their fair share of pepperoni.

MarthaArthur · 05/04/2018 10:53

Well then you know really rude people if you think thats not rude. Again you ignored the fact she asked a question and was ignored. Nice focusing on what you want to.

UncleNugget · 05/04/2018 11:16

Oh come on, if you can't see the OP was hoping to push a racist agenda in the name of 'feminism' you need to give your head a wobble.

And if you really work in a male dominated field Martha where you are ignored by men at least twice a day, you need to raise that with your employer or perhaps look at your own behaviour.

I work in an extremely male dominated field. No-one ever ignores me, let alone twice a day.

MarthaArthur · 05/04/2018 11:26

How can i raise customer behaviour with my boss? He already knows and he cant change how customers treat us. Its a man dominated interest. If he insists on a woman serving them they literally walk out and we lose business.

uberqueen · 05/04/2018 11:28

I'm way more interested in the fact that you spend Friday nights with your ex h . Details ?
