So a man just said to me….

[Littlebobbin15]

I was browsing a jewellers shop window, looking at some nice opal drop earrings actually, and a guy went inside and as he did said to me, ‘you shouldn’t be looking in a jewellers shop window if you don’t even have a coat’, then looked down at the coat on my arm (I’d got too hot) and said ‘oh, you do, come in and we’ll take your money off you regardless’, and laughed.

I kind of gave him a perplexed, kind of confused half smile, but now I wish I’d him where to go as I’ve realised it’s actually quite insulting.

Why on earth would presumably the shop owner speak to a prospective customer like this? It’s just utterly baffling to me. I didn’t have make up on, but I was nicely and fashionably dressed, in new clothes, and I look after myself, I certainly didn’t look like I was down and out and unable to afford a coat!

AIBU to think he’s most likely a weird asshole who enjoys insulting women and only has himself to blame for losing a £400 sale?

You haven't heard of the Pretty Woman scene....

He’s a dick. Men who make these stupid, unfunny remarks are the worst.

Have you failed to understand this is AIBU? The whole point of this section is to debate whether or not someone was unreasonable in how they felt or how they interpreted a situation.

Those who start posts in AIBU are actively asking people to say whether or not they were right or wrong in how they felt or behaved.

I see from OPs latest update that she well understand this was the point of posting in AIBU, even if you do not.

It was a silly remark no more no less. People are so professionally outraged and unduly insulted these days 🙄
