I had a low pressure reading on my car dash panel so I went have it looked at, made an appointment at a space that sells tyres (spelled tires if you are American). As I could drive to the store I didn’t consider it a flat.
I went into the store and a man said oh you’re here for the flat tyre. I said, well I have a low pressure warning. He looks down at me (he was rather tall) and said “so you mean you have a flat tyre.” I said no, again repeated it was just a warning and the tyre was still inflated, and he said again “so you have a flat tyre.” The smug look on his face rather upset me. I answered back calmly, I’m not going to argue semantics with you, will you kindly look at my tyre to see if something is stuck in it. He repeated, once again, that I meant I had a flat tyre.
I did not appreciate being smirked at and corrected incorrectly, so I said “sorry I don’t like your attitude, I am leaving.” I left the place and left a poor review on google, now the manager is reaching out to me about it. I haven’t answered yet but will say, if I do, that I felt he was being condescending because I am female. I don’t think having a low pressure warning equates to a flat and that his repeated correction to me without ever having laid eyes on the tyre or even my car was unwarranted. (As an aside, I did have a door hinge or some such thing stuck and it went flat a few hours later, but that’s beside the point.)
AITA for walking out and leaving him a bad review and possibly getting him in trouble with his manager?
