So today at the mechanics I'm sitting in the waiting area with several men, including employees. I am the only female. Now I'm a gregarious sort and can and will talk about almost anything, with just about anyone. We get to talking about cars and how this one car sucked. One of the waiting customers pipes up, "that's what she said".
So there's this awkward silence while everyone looks at me...lol...then no one says anything for a minute....aaakwarrrd! Lmao. And you know...despite my juvenile and filthy sense of humor...I was a bit offended.
Why? Well, because at least the way I was raised, you don't do that in mixed company. You just don't.
To his credit, especially after picking up on the subtle social cues telling him he put his foot in his mouth...the fool had the good grace to be embarrassed. But I guess my question is for the younger generations here. I'm 54. I see many social norms of my generation regarding etiquette just dissolving away. Is that stuff ok now in many situations? I mean, all the men there were between 30ish and 60ish...I think the offender may have been a late 20-something.
I don't know...in a more intimate group I know I would have laughed and countered. But not this time...thoughts?
