Sara and Danny? Yey! I always listen to AITA!

Sales people make sure they are the most good looking-
Thanks Chemda! It means a lot to me.

And of course it was a sales tactic. Remember. She said she would accept it and immediately wanted to show him other cars. So she didn't accept his request.

And. Its different with car sales. Your goal is one big sale and not a good relationship with the customer. You will likely only see thim once because they buy a car only every few years not like with food become a regular in a restaurant.
So its score big and don't care.

In my field the wife of the physician often works with him. A too big cleavage gets you as a sales person often on the no no list.
So it wouldn't help me at all.

Yes!!! I'm so happy we got more clarity on this juicy sitch. I'd love to bring up how Chemda agreed w me, but the threat of death looms :D

A flock of geese in my front yard would 100% be a selling point for me. I’d buy that house.

Loving the support! #GeeseLife

The house market in my city is so demand driven, you could have a house literally made of birds and it would still sell immediately.

Hey Danny!

I totally disagree with the car thing. The dude was 100% being sexist. How old are you that you can't control yourself around hot people? Grow up, that lady deserves to make a sale.

I had to learn that you don't deserve a sale unless you earn it. But also, I dont sell cars.

Danny nailed it with the last statement about the car buyer. He is a pathetic man but he is not the asshole in this scenario.

I’m a big people pleaser who gives people the benefit of the doubt. I HATE car shopping. I have to turn off that part of my brain and assume everything they tell me could be a lie. The last time I bought a car I was trading in my car which was in great shape, but it just had some dog hair in the back seat. “We pay a detailing company $100 an hour to clean up our trade ins, so we have to knock money off for that.” I had to tell him that it wasn’t my problem that they overpay for getting their car cleaned. I felt like a dick, but I also couldn’t just roll over and accept $1000 less for my trade in.

Anyway, if this guy knows that all it takes is a pretty girl to flirt with him and all reason goes out the window then he can ask for a different salesperson. He wasn’t calling her a slut! He wasn’t calling her unprofessional. He just knew he wasn’t going to be able to play hardball with her. NTA but also get it together.

Saying "some" dog hair is like saying "a few" geese. They are probably trying to swindle you, but pet hair is also a pain in the ass.

When I’m at work at talk to customers and others the big majority of the time I don’t care what they look like. But sometimes, sometimes someone is so attractive that I’m annoyed by it. It happens not often at all, maybe once in two years or so.
And only if I see them for the first time, the next time I’m mentally prepared.

And that’s why. I’m alone in a room with this person and we talk about some medical study. I notice how pretty they are and am less focused.
Im not like the guy in the scenario, because I can get over it but it takes work.
The worst are those who know exactly how attractive they are. We talk, and I see in their eyes that they notice that I just noticed how pretty they are.
I don’t like it at all, because for a moment I am not focused on work.

When I see that person again, I know what to expect and they don’t have the same effect on me.
So I get wanting to see a less attractive sales person. The customer here doesn’t have great social skills and hasn’t learned yet how to control himself in these situations and knows it.

I have some wonderful duck recipes. The neighbor can keep feeding the ducks and I can have roast duck on the weekends. Win/win.

I also work in "sales". I work at a steak house/ wine bar where our most expensive bottle is $10,000. I'm trying to sell nice bottles to get good tips. It's happened so many times that I make a recommendation and the table will ask to talk to the "wine guy". So I send over someone with a penis to make my sale.

I know it's a different scenario but I feel for the woman in this sitch .

I hear ya. Again, I find car salespeople to be the worst and unlike anything else. It’s hard to find sympathy.

This is completely different to me and a classic case of sexism.

I’m pro duck but geese are assholes 99% of the time, so I’m torn on that first one.

We have a similar problem with feral cats where I live, on one side the animal rights person who cares so much about the stray hungry kitties, on the other side neighbors sick of cat shit all over the place and loud screeching at 4am. I’m somewhere in the middle, where I like seeing the cats but wouldn’t feed them, so I’d be the perfect neighbor for these assholes.

The problem of stray cats in humans still exists. If we didn't throw them out of the house, street cats would not exist. I will always be sure of this, because it is true.

This is obviously true but doesn’t help the person who didn’t throw them out at all.

The car guy is the asshole.

OH SO SORRY, A HUMAN WOMAN'S ATTRACTIVENESS IS TOO MUCH FOR YOU TO GET YOUR DUMB MAN BRAIN TO DEAL WITH! Get over it and get in control of your dumb dick or don't go out in society.

I think as soon as someone applies to be a car salesperson they should be arrested.

In any other situation, yes. As a customer he doesn’t want to overpay and wants to protect himself. And they have tricks, the car sales people.

The guy’s an asshole for not sneaking a picture for us to judge

Re: the geese and ducks...

What the actual fuck is wrong with you Danny? I highly doubt you actually run through flocks of geese because those assholes are VICIOUS. This wanna be Dr. Doolittle... geese and duck poop are the worst. Geese are mean as hell. There was probably 30 geese in that yard. Total asshole move.

Agree with littlep 100%! Danny doesn't know what a goose is, probably think their pigeons. I'd sooner run through a nest of 30 rats than 30 geese. A few years ago (maybe 10... IDK) a lady was walking her little dog through a park here and a goose attacked and killed her dog while it was on a leash. She was fined for harassing the wildlife and she had to take home her dead dog. I'd have killed that goose and probably gone to jail.

Assholes at the park...
 

If you are pro feeding ducks then you are not pro duck you are just pro getting to watch ducks eat and feeling good about yourself for ruining their lives (and also probably your neighbors'.)

catching up on episodes:
