I forgot I needed a penis!!

[thefinerthingsinlife]

My car had a flat battery so I took dh's car to Halfords to buy jump leads.

Whilst looking for said jump leads a youngish man came over and asked if I needed help. I asked where the jump leads were and he took me to them. I picked up the box and looked at it andhe asked if I knew what I looking for, I replied that I was checking it was for the correct engine size and type. He then asked me if I had a husband at home to help me jump start the car . I calmly looked at him and said "I didn't realise you needed a penis to use them".

I left him there spluttering. I'm bloody annoyed as I know exactly how to jump start a car and find it insulting that he thought because of my sex I wouldn't!

aw he was probably trying to be helpful

Well, he needs to learn what's helpful and what isn't. A lesson in customer service

I a vision of just where you are supposed to connect said jump leads

Maybe he was trying to come on to you?
Well done though, he'll think twice next time (hopefully)

Normally i'd think of something clever to say after the event, but for once I was on the ball .

If I honestly thought he was trying to be helpful I wouldn't of said it, honest.

I did dittany, took me ten minutes and my car was fixed, no thanks to dd leaving the interior light on yesterday. I was however tempted to go a buy a stick on penis (maybe that would do as a substitution for the real thing).

The staff in Halfords have anti-customer service training. It's the only thing that explains the consistently poor service.

I'm very impressed at your excellent response, although I would be slightly concerned if you were planning to wave a stick-on penis around next time you visit Halfords, I'm not sure it would help your argument .

Nice response but he was proably only trying to be nice.

What, seriously, is 'trying to be nice' in asking the Little Woman if she has a Man to do Manly Stuff around for her?

(I personally would be hopeless with jump leads, it must be said, but that is a generic hopelessness not a penis-linked one. Or non-penis-linked one, rather.)

A penis can be most handy, dh pumps tures with his.

hope the tures enjoy it.

HAHAHA - I think that is brilliant, well done!

And for those who think he was trying to be "nice", he wasn't, he was being a patronising asshole.

I think he was about to chat you up, but was checking if you were married or not first.

@ posters thinking he was trying to chat me up. I was way out of his league

LOL. Fantastic

Did he also ask if you had a nice bikini for the times that you wash your husband's car?

Well done OP.

Sorry for my typo, the curse of my stubby fingers on an i phone. DH would probably do much better with his penis.

I love this.

Perhaps he meant that, if you have a husband, you wouldn't need the jump leads? I understand that a penis is a formidable power source in and of itself.

he was trying to be nice. But ignorance is not an excuse for backward and/or patronising behaviour.

Nice response!
