This is a shameless brag about my favorite person. I warned you lol
My boyfriend and I went to take a look in a garage for secondhand cars yesterday. The car we had our eyes on had some small scratches on the rims from parking, but that was it. While signing the contract the car salesman added that "the car must have belonged to a woman" while smirking at my boyfriend.
My boyfriend casually answered: "I would be just as liable of doing that". The salesman's eyes widened, and he quickly answered "ah.. yeah... guess accidents are not a matter of sex haha". Boyfriend give a nod and just waited for the guy continue his explanation, which took a few seconds because it was clear he was waiting for my boyfriend to laugh or something to relieve the awkwardness. He didn't.
I thanked him afterwards, and he said that I don't need to thank him for stating the obvious. In his words: "there was no need for that remark at all. The conversation would have gone the same without it. He wanted to create a connection with me at the cost of someone else, with his stupid "we are both men so we understand each other" smirk. Everyone is capable of mistakes"
I felt really proud at that moment. He didn't raise his voice, he didn't agressively call the guy out. Just quiet strength and matter of fact.
Thank you for reading!
