To be annoyed at this sexist car salesman

Am irrationally annoyed with a car salesman tonight. Went car shopping and DP came with me. Have fancied a certain model for a while and was in the showroom looking at it.

Salesman wandered over and shook hands with both of us, then proceeded to entirely ignore me, but give my fiancé the hard sell.
DP was non commital and repeatedly pointed out the car is for me, not him. Not to be put off, the salesman continued to talk entirely to him about various financial options, all the while I may as well be on the Moon. He then turned to me, and I kid you not, said
"I won't bore you with the figures love, which colours do you like?"

I'm so annoyed with myself for not telling him exactly what I thought of his attitude at the time, as if I'm incapable of understanding finance options and negotiating for myself. DP was similarly disgusted and we left. I've now been put off that car altogether too.

It's 2020 for goodness sake, is this still the sort of shit we should still be tolerating?

I’d be laughing it off, op. It’s so ridiculous that it’s funny. I do get why you’re annoyed though, I think it’s really funny from the outside but not so much if I was in your shoes.
