I would imagine most women feel that way when they go to buy a car. The TL and I were looking at cars and on 2 occasions the salesman just spoke and looked at me despite him not knowing who the car was for. I never noticed as I was talking cars :hee: but the TL was cross

:worry:

Last time I bought a car was 4 years ago and that definitely didn't happen to me, if it did I would say something, that kind of s**t would bother me too much not to say something :laugh: The guy I bought the car off was a lovely fella actually

Yep, that happened with me and th'lady and our first car... Neither of us had driven before, she learned to drive first so I couldn't even drive. It was a joint purchase but she chose the car, she was the named driver for it... Salesman didn't break eye contact with ME the whole time we were buying it :joker:.

Hashtag everydaysexism.

not neem being smooth talked and sold a lemon with no discount:hehe:

I went to buy some flowers the other day and the florist assumed they were for my wife. She said "Birthday, anniversary, or in the dog house?" Can't a man brighten up his living room without such sexism! Ha ha ha R.

Ron :nono:, you have gone too far

Flowers are for girls - dont try and break the system

Runs like a dream still and he wasn't a smooth talker, he was actually quite normal for a salesman and I deal with plenty of them everyday in my line of work :hee:

When people have a right to other people's services, you no longer live in a free country. :(

I do hate to say that I actually agree with this; even though I find their actions abhorrent. They should simply let other locals know how they were treated and let them vote with their feet. In general I do believe in the right of a private enterprise to refuse service to anyone, for any reason, without the law getting involved.

Now, like I said that doesn't mean they aren't crappy people, and HOPEFULLY if word got around about them, their business would suffer because of their prejudices. Natural consequences.

A good car sales person will ask who the car is for, men talk to men if the man takes the lead, I would start by saying the car is for my wife so she is the boss, them the person selling the car �� would be talking to the right person.

Ha ha of course they were for the wife. R.

Pretty decent chance of at least 1 of those 5 children growing up to be gay. God, I feel sorry for them, would be awful knowing in advance how ****y your parents would treat you for coming out.

Its true, especially the youngest

I would start by saying the car is for me, i can speak for myself :hee:

How awful of them to ask someone to set up a GoFundMe page when they and they alone are responsible for their own predicament.

It also bothers me that idiots like these two see 'Religious Freedom' as the right to discriminate against others freely and use religion as an excuse, someone needs to tell those morons that Religious Freedom means that they can follow their own religion freely but that doesn't mean they can discriminate in the realm of business just because. Their right to follow a religion of their choosing has not been impacted at all by this.

It's pretty much the same as people who think that Freedom of Speech is a shield to protect them from differing opinions.

I need to find me a fake wife and make me some dolla

Very true niamh, but lets be fair not all woman are confident talking to men.
You deal with men all the time so its easy for you, and there are lots of females on here that are talking for themselves.

You will do as your told.

We will decide how your business is run.

We are the dictators.



Basically.

I don't get where the logic comes in when people get big pay-outs? Emotional Damage? For not being served a cake? Reminds me of Ron's story the other night when he got thrown out of a pub for accidentally taking a 50p cake. :joker:
Maybe there's some serious cash just waiting for him. :joker:

Ha ha I do indeed feel traumatised still I shall contact my lawyer! R.

Hypothetical question:

If there ever was a bakery that specialized in making cakes for gay couples and there was a hetero couple that wanted a cake would they be required to bake them a cake or face a 135K fine?

I pray Trump destroys political correctness in his 8 years in the White House.

Yes that shop should be fined.. but that will never happen, its an odd hypo.

Yeah I would agree with this. 135k for not having a cake baked where you want it is ****ing ridiculous. I would gladly take being 'traumatized' by someone refusing to serve me for ANY reason if it ended in a 100k+ payday tbh. The award is ridiculous.

However, the fact that these people (the bakers) have now MADE money off their decision is also ridiculous.

Its all just a stupid situation and I don't get whats so wrong about baking a cake for a lesbian wedding, however I also do not understand quite the amount of fuss/compensation this has attracted.

Isnt that the point though, if you took someone who traumatised you to court, youd expect to leave in a way that would alleviate your traumatic experience. You, I and this couple can find solitude in 100k+. The traumatic experience just became a neutral, or positive one.

I look forward to the day bakers with Islamic faith are treated the same as other faiths in these situations :umm2: 135,000 for trauma :joker:
