Sexist pig and ss15
Ss15 and I were putting some bags in the back of the expedition last night and my neighbor from across the street came over. Dh and him have been working on a car. SOOOO the neighbor is standing next to me and ss15 is on the other side and he starts to talk to ss15 about this car???? I asked him why he was talking to him since I'm the adult? He just kept talking to ss15. SS15 looked at me like what is going on? ss15 doesn't know about this car. I again asked why he was talking to a kid and not the adult which is me? The neighbor looked at me and asked "Well isn't heeee his son!" I said " yes but I'm HIS wife!" then the neighbor said something under his breath and went to walk away then turned back and said "it is hard to tell you from your dd." I said "nice try"!
We get in the car and ss15 looks at me and said "That was kinda rude huh?" I said yes it was. At least I know I wasn't the only one that noticed he did that on purpose. I wonder what he has against woman? That was not the first time he had that but that was the first it was right to my face like that. Other times it was that one of the boys answered the door and I was right beside them in a flash but he talked to them. I knew he was a little sexist but sheesh!

Good for you for calling him
Good for you for calling him out on it. One of DH's very oldest and best friends used to do this to me. When DH first introduced him to me, I would say something to him that was a part of a conversation between three or four people and he would respond by talking to DH. I called his friend, who is now my friend as well, out on it and he explained that it was his culture — he's Hispanic. He said the way he was raised, it's considered rude to address another man's wife or gf. DH and I told him he had to get over that 'cause in our culture it's disrespectful not to. Don't know if what you're experiencing has anything to do with that but ... just thought I'd throw in my experience with it.
Crayon, I have dealt with
Crayon, I have dealt with this too. For some reason certain people seem to think that women shouldn't be in the IT field.
For instance, there was a former co-worker who came up to where my supervisor (Operations Manager) and I were talking. He had a computer issue but brought it up to my supervisor and turned his back to me while he was talking about it! I'm thinking, "Hello?? Don't you want to the IT person to know about your computer issue?"
You've got the weirdest
You've got the weirdest neighbors, pd!
I had an old codger neighbor who used to make weird comments when he'd see me working on my car or trimming the trees. One time he kept staring and I asked if there was a problem. He said, "Shouldn't a man be doing that for you?" I said, "Are you volunteering?" Never heard another word from him.
Yes I do but the one that
Yes I do but the one that pulled her shirt up in my yard on halloween moved so we won't be hearing from her. However a woman and her kids just moved in there and I heard through the grape vine that her BF is a stealer. lucky me :sick:
No he is NOT hispanic. He is
No he is NOT hispanic. He is an old man! He even told dh I was not to drive his truck b/c it is a standard and women can't drive them! I have been driving them for 15 years now! Dh told him that I was a good driver b/c he taught me how. the old man said no I prefer her not too. This man is sexist! I hope that dh says something to him when he sees him. He hasn't had the chance since but he said that he will say something to effect that if he wants to talk to him and he is not home he needs to address his wife and not any of the kids even if he just says tell your dh I need to talk to him.
We can't just not talk to this guy right now as he has our car and he has really been helping us a great deal with it. I understand that but still why so rude!?
What the hell? Women can't
What the hell? Women can't drive standards. It's like, "Oh my, I don't think I can work a clutch because my vagina gets in the way."
How frikkin' ridiculous!
Laughing out loud at my desk
No he is married but this is
No he is married but this is his second marriage. I told dh that that is why he was divorced.
dh said now wait it min we don't know what happened and it could have been her fault for not wanting to put up with his sexist ways! LOL }:) I laughed so dang hard on that one.
Foxie you always make me
Foxie you always make me laugh that was awesome! I don't remember 3what he wanted it pissed me off so bad I forgot. LOL Dh asked me the same thing. LOL
Dh said not to worry and he is a sexist pig and he will set him straight when he sees him. It had been building for a while then he caught me trying to put bags and all the kids in the car and I had just started! }:)
You are so right about where our balls are LOL too good thanks.
