Radio Startle

I was driving home from a business dinner and I heard the following on the radio which made me smile. The topic was regarding how women are treated at car dealerships. The host was a man named Ryan, and there was a wonderful caller, named Kathy, whom I think is definitely one of us.

In case you want to have a listen, here is the podcast (it's for March 21 2012 and is at about 32:00 minutes in).
Kathy: My husband and I a couple of years ago went and bought a new car and my husband doesn’t have a driver's license so the car was very definitely for me. When we went into the dealership I was the one leading the conversation and the sales rep consistently responded to my husband instead of me. And then when we went to take a test drive because I asked for a manual transmission they tried to hand my husband the keys because women didn't know how to drive manual transmissions.

Ryan: You know it's interesting that you bring that up, Kathy, because my wife and I went to a dealership about six months ago […] and the test drive moment came up and this car wasn't for me in any way shape or form because I don’t drive. [...] And he went and he handed me the keys. And that was one of those things where I could tell on my wife's face, yeah, we're getting out of here and we're getting out of here quick!

Kathy: Well that's what I did, he offered to let me pick the colour of the car and at that moment we took our business elsewhere. We got the exact same car, in a colour that my husband picked, not me, and we went to a different dealership and got a female rep to sell us the car.
Ha Ha! I approve, but I wonder if the colour he picked was the same colour as the panties he was wearing when he got his spanking later that night?

  1. Well done ma'am and I agree that his panty was probably red!
    Thanks

    1. I love her voice. She seems utterly unconcerned that she is totally and completely emasculating her husband publicly!

  2. That is so typical of so many men, I see it all the time. Invariably if I am dealing with a sales person of any kind, I would much rather deal with a woman, they actually listen to what you are saying. My Doctors are all women, and I insist on that, I am very tired of men Doctors who seem to always be in a hurry to get you in and out, and never seem to actually listen to what I have to say.

    1. Come on dave, the reason you see a woman doctor is so that you can enjoy her sticking a finger up your bottom hole, more likely ;-)

  3. Do you 'take out' frustrations with the inconsiderate men that you come across in your day-to-day existence? david's ass (and subsequent spanking serving as a proxy for all the bonehead dudes in the world? I be this ass is ready nearly almost every day!

    And a second question: do you ever foresee having david submit to a male Dom? That would seem to be very humiliating for him...especially if something like Scen 3 were to occur...

    1. I don't get frustrated by men anymore. In fact, I now rather enjoy putting them in their place. It cheers an otherwise drab day!

      I would love to see him forced to receive a fucking from a man (probably another subbie man, not a dom), but he would NEVER agree to it.

    2. Do you think he would be extra mortified/humiliated to be spanked by a man...or to be seen being spanked by a man?

  4. An awesome and funny post, Julie. The part about "who picks the colour" sealed it for me! And yes, I'd say Kathy has the right idea!

    Crap like that really annoys me, though. In one of my first jobs, my boss was female and the amount of clients who used to ignore her and address me used to actually make me angry.

    Oh, and I love the picture you chose to go with this post... now I'm having all sorts of naughty fantasies about 'negotiating' with that female sales rep! *blush*

    Also loved your 'panties colour' comment too, though my first thought on seeing that red car in the pic was "Red... like his bottom is going to be when we get home!" :)

    1. I know! She went out of her way to say that with the second sales rep HE picked the colour, not her. How deliberately emasculating is that?

      And yes, I imagine his bottom that colour as well!

  5. Same thing happend to us buying my wife a computer. Her computer. Yes I know a bit about computers and so I might be asked to be the second opinion or the nack stop in case she senses a rip off.

    I held the door open and my wife walked into the shop. The shop was pretty empty so they saw her walk in. The sales man came up and spoke to me. I said my wife is looking for a laptop. He asked me what type. I said ask her. This went on and on. He would ask me and I would tell him to ask her. It was so dam obvious. I would excuse myself and go and wander the store. He would then ask her but manouver her over to where I was and go through all the answers he had given her. Any couple would have been uncomfortable with this overt sexist treatment.


    So we left.

    Mind you, flip it round the other way and we find it kinky and fun. Imagine my wife and I going to buy a car or computer for me and she telling the salesman that it was for me but that she would be asking all the questions and making the decision.

    1. How about a vacuum cleaner shop and making it clear that I am making the decision, but it will be him exclusively using it. Evil grin.

  6. My daughter was the only person in her office who had ever driven a truck. I had made her learn to drive my trucks before she was allowed on the road with a car. And i made sure she could handle the very worst driving situations, whether with car or truck. At barely 5-2, she certainly does not look like a truck driver. She is very feminine in all ways, so when she and her boss went to a dealer to rent a rather large truck for a special activity, it was no surprise that the salesman addressed all of the conversation and directives to the man. When thru with his spiel, the salesman handed the keys to the boss, who in turn handed same to my daughter; he then walked to the passenger side of the truck and climbed aboard. The sales man just sort of stared and gasped in disbelief as daughter drove off, expertly double clutching and shifting gears quite expertly. Another year, still same office, she had to rent a much larger truck with air brakes. she called me to get advice about driving that monster just in case the guy that she had to go with (he was supposed to drive) could not handle that big a truck. This time, she handed the keys over to the new guy. About half a mile down the road, she told the guy he was no truck driver and made him change places. She was the boss in that world. There is a whole lot more to this story, but not here.

    1. Sounds like your daughter is wonderfully competent! Is you hint at the end that something "interesting" happened afterwards?

    2. I was in a hurry this morning.
      When the boss and my daughter got back to the office, it was late and daughter had to get home. The next morning when she arrived at work, office personnel had strarted loading the truck. they had loaded all of the lightweight stuff to the front and the heaviest to the back. a suicidal arrangement to put it mildly. Daughter lit into the loaders and made then take out the entire load and then reload under her total direction. This was an annual affair, so the next several years, nobody was to put anything into the tuck until my daughter was there to direct.

      Yeah, she can hold her own in great fashion.

  7. "When we went into the dealership I was the one leading the conversation and the sales rep consistently responded to my husband instead of me." That identical scenario happened to me when I purchased my first car, accompanied by my first husband. The sexist treatment from the dealership continued for two years while I struggled to get a defective manual choke fixed. My ex-husband, who usually accompanied me, always overrode my complaint, saying there was really nothing wrong, I just didn't know how to start the car.

    He's an ex for very good reasons.

    Hugs,
    Hermione

  8. I'm so emasculated when my wife does all the dealing with the car people.... it's clear she knows what she wants! I try not to go back after the first time. :)
    Hmm, wonder if she'll choose my panties to match her car!

    1. I'm sure the macho care salesmen all have a good laugh at "the pussy whipped husband" afterwards.

  9. Hi Julie:
    Love your blog. My wife also enjoys reading about your growth as a Dom wife. She loves to use the strap and paddle on me, however, she insists that i be "full fem" for my spankings, i.e. Wig to heels, makeyp, nail polish and even a touch of perfume (obsession). I must wear panties at all times under my street clothes. When serving her, I have to be in, at least, panties, bra, stockings, heels and either my maids uniform or a slip, with 2in heels. Keep up the good work, we look forward to reading more.

  11. I wish Kathy would have asked to be taken into a separate office with the sales rep and her husband. He would have been made to apologize to the sales rep for not deferring to Kathy. He would also be made to admit to the sales rep that he is totally "pussy whipped" and needs to be spanked. Kathy would pull his pants down to reveal that he is wearing pink nylon "training panties" much to the amusement of the sales rep. Kathy would then administer a hard over-the-lap public spanking to his pantied ass. Others at the dealership could hear but not see the spanking. He would end up leaving totally emasculated and the entire female staff would know just how "pussy whipped" he is.

    1. I agree completely, though I think the staff get a pretty good idea of how pussy whipped her husband is just from what actually happened. They can imagine the rest!

  12. An excellent post! Strangely (?) I’ve always found it most exciting to be held accountable for others’ boorish behavior (even if we have to resort to movie characters etc.). It’s pretty hard to explain at first, wanting to role-play under the assumption that I acted exactly like the offending party – better, of course, if it’s a man – and treated as if I had… or as a warning of exactly what would happen if I did. All the better once the arrangement’s been played on a couple of times, so that I have some idea of what’s going to happen without suggesting it – or getting warned that “I have no idea…”

    1. I get it completely. It's therapeutic for us Women to take it out on the nearest male, and if you are a good sub (as it appears you are) you should be only too happy to assist by getting your bum beat for the sins of others of your sex.

      Delete
    2. ah, too much evidence to the contrary to claim to be a "good sub" - but then, that's what role play is for, anyway.

    3. I like to think that for those moments you are role playing, you are what you are. Who's to say which one is the "real you".
