Oh my goodness I am SO CROSS
Just come on here to vent some steam so forgive me. BUT........
We are looking for a new car (I should tell you we've never bought a car before so this is all new). So I'm trying to book some test drives for this weekend at various garages and rang the Audi garage. Well my GOD, Audi are a bunch of ***ing arrogant snobs! He was SOOOOOOOO patronising.
him: 'What model do you want to look at'
Me: We've only just started looking, we want an estate but we'd like to test whatever you've got and just sort of generally have a look around and our price band is roughly £X k.
him: Well then, petrol or diesel.........(long silence while I try to decide, having been totally put on spot, since we haven't decided yet) (then he laughs) oh sorry, is that too difficult a question? (nasty sneer as he enjoys his joke about how I obviously don't know the difference cos I am female)
me: No actually we just haven't decided
him: 'Well we haven't got anything near your price range'
me: stunned silence at the contempt in his voice
him: And we won't let you test drive for anyone else'
me: (still stunned) errrr what does that mean?
Him: You can't test drive one of ours. You've told us you only want to spend £x as our cars start at £12K and I don't think you'll buy one from us so you can't test our cars just so you can buy an Audi elsewhere. (pause) We do work on commission you know (another nasty sneer at my perceived ignorance)
me: (finally finding voice) Well actually I probably could have afforded one of your cars (fat lie!), but now there's no way I am going to because I don't think you have been very nice at all today. Goodbye. (slam down phone and then shout at it uselessly).
Only consolation is that his name was Kelvin. What a fricking trollop of a man. And I thought garages were keen to bring in the sales at the moment!
ANGRY. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
At least DH will be pleased we won't have to fork out for an Audi!
Still cross though. [very cross emoticon]. PS Errr he has my name and number, slightly embarassingly.
