I've noticed when I go out in public with my boyfriend to a store like Bestbuy or anywhere actually, sometimes the salespeople (men) will pay more attention to my guy and thus indirectly give him more respect (even though they might not realize it) instead of me. This really pisses me off, because first of all, my boyfriend has no money whatsoever, I am the one who is there to purchase items for myself, with MY money, so I feel as if I deserve respect and the service. Not him. I feel like people in general just assume that he is the one that is buying the stuff and that I am just tagging along or something.

Maybe I am power hungry or something, but stuff like this really pisses me off, to the point where I have to make a thread on gfy about it. If I pay for something I deserve to be treated and serviced well. My boyfriend's theory is that they don't want to talk to me or look at me, because if they do, they think that he will get mad, because I am with him. But to me, it is just a matter of respect. To me, it has to be exactly 50/50.

It's just extremely rude. For example, they will ask if we need help and then just make eye contact with my bf but not me. And then start talking to him about the shit they are selling. Fuck, I am not invisible, I am standing right next to him. And if either of us are going to spend any money there it's going to be me. So fuck Best Buy!

I bet if I were to go to Internext, people there would just automatically assume that my boyfriend is the "webmaster" and that I am just his girl. Well, the fact is that I am the webmaster and I am TEACHING him internet stuff. He knows nothing about webmastering. Another reason why I would never even go at all, because I know something like this would happen and it would piss me off to no end.

Well, I just had a very bad day today, so I felt like posting this.
