[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They want the man there.

When I was single I owned my own condo. I had a couple staying with me when I had an AC repair man come out. The AC repair man would ONLY speak to my male friend. It was pretty offensive even when I was the one who scheduled the appointment, answered the door, was paying and was the owner (and told him this). He just kept walking past me to talk to my male friend. He just assumed that my male friend would understand better than a woman would. At then end, he even gave the bill to my male friend!!! Will never use them again. [/quote]

It's not just that they want the man there.  My DH stays home with the kids, and he has gotten the same spiel about both homeowners needing to be there to get estimates on window replacement and roof replacement.  We refuse to deal with the companies that insist on this.  I am not taking time off of work to meet with them, and we are not meeting with them in the very limited and hectic time between dinner and bedtime.  If they want our business, they will meet with just DH when I am at work and the kids are in school so that he can actually concentrate on the task at hand.[/quote]
