1. A few years ago I was interested in a certain car

that a dealership in Oregon had that had a particular option package I really wanted. So I called and they WOULD NOT tell me the price over the phone. "Come look at it, it's so nice, you'll love it!" Well that's great but obviously I'm not driving ten hours to go see a car unless I know what they're asking. "Sorry, no quotes on the phone, policy."

I know gendered bullshit when I hear it. So I hung up and called my boyfriend. "Call XYZ Ford in BlahBlah, OR and ask what the price is for stock #12345, they won't tell me but I'm sure they'll tell a guy."

He called back less than five minutes later with the price.

Needless to say I'll never buy a car from them.
