(7,864 posts)Try, just try being a woman and go car shopping with a man tagging along. The salesman will not look at you, talk to you, or even acknowledge your presence except to tell you that he wants to move where you are so he can show the man the car better. It has happened to me more than once at car dealerships, music stores (looking for a keyboard for me), computer stores (I have a BS in Computer Science), etc.
I have been followed while I was on my way home from work. I ran a red light to get away from the creep. Once I got home, I raced indoors from the parking lot and looked out the window. The jerk pulled up to my car, checked it, drove around a bit, and left after about 15 minutes of checking around. Creepy as hell.
When you get similar treatment, come back and tell us about it.
Excellent list. Thanks for posting.
