How would you react

Ugh. Just ugh. Your husband definitely needs talking to.

Oh dear, what a non-event
Embarrassing for all concerned (except OP’s DH I assume)
Out of order at any age, not witty, not amusing, not terribly original either.
There is something very sleazy but also pathetic about a middle-aged man who thinks he is the answer to a maiden’s prayer - think Weinstein, Salmond , Prince Andrew and shudder.
In OP’s place I would be trying to forget it ever happened., but she seems amused by it.

No far from it. It felt awful. We were all cringing apart from h.
What is even worse he cannot see that. And I truly did not know what to say or even do after, so I left them to it and sat in the car. I am so glad it seems the ladies in here would have been as mortified as me.

How embarrassing for the OP. Did they buy a car , I wonder ?

Did you speak to your H about it later? What did he say?

Just he meant nothing and was sorry if it embarrassed me. It embarrassed the salesman, whuch was worse i think. He really couldnt look at us after and I made an excuse and sat in the car. And Ive not really spoken to him much since, its second time he has done something like this, I am going to have the 'its 2021" conversation with him if things continue. But to me its an obvious thing, like you just dont do that now. I wrote it like an awful Benny Hill clip, because it felt like that.

Probably I’d have laughed in his face and told him off for turning into a dirty old man.

I’d have walked out and gone home. I’d feel utterly humiliated if my Dh said anything like that. As someone said earlier, your dh is lucky not to have been called out for sexual harassment.

@SeaNain - is he like this all the time?

I think it was really childish to be honest, I’m sure the girl was embarrassed, I think he should have kept his thoughts to himself, I wouldn’t be very impressed,

Thank you, exactly. It is 2021. I was hoping someone would think same as me. Its why i went for some air, was too embarassed.

I’d have been extremely embarrassed and annoyed if it had been my husband . I would have told him so too.

Yuck.

Boys will be boys is the worst.

Did you speak to your H about it later? What did he say?

I was. I did. And I think you are tight, the three of us were embarrassed, me, the girl snd the salesman.

I guess us Nans. It is good sometimes to ssk how others would be. Times change and I guess we all would respond differently.

Op didn't say if this is "normal for him"...

So reading back, I think that you want us to vote on whether, in that situation, we would be:

1. amused
2. angry
3. embarrassed

Is that right?

Yes please. Though I was all 3.

Eviebeanz me too. Slimy old creep.

In this day and age, from the sort of thing I read in the papers, he’s lucky he’s lucky she didn’t report him for sexual harassment.

Did you find Bernard Manning and Benny Hill funny?

Perhaps you thought Jimmy Saville was just a bit too “ handsy”

You are either a troll or very stupid…. It’s 2021 for crying out loud.

I would have given him a karate chop to the throat

Or any of the boys that post on this site might have an opinion.

I’d be soooo embarrassed. I’d have had a right go at him in the car going home. It was so non PC.
Your man’s a sexist prat & I expect the saleswoman thought the same.

Now pse tell me girls

Which girls would that be?

FannyCornforth

Your vowel keys seem to be all over the shop.
Fortunately, your skill with speech marks is admirably holding up.

Why did you need the fresh air?
Were you angry?
This sort of thing might be a bit ‘sweet’ with a man in their 90s, but 61?

I got from gobsmacked to did that really happen, to embarassed to mad.
