‘First time I went by myself. Today I took my husband. Spot the difference.’

We’re not sure this counts as ‘everyday sexism’. Outrageous, more like, the difference in the way this woman was treated when she went to get her car washed alone, and when she went with her husband.

It’s both brief and speaks volumes, so many volumes.

‘The first time I went by myself. Today I took my husband with me. Spot the difference,’ said Redditor sciencemint on the subReddit ‘mildly infuriating’ for reasons which will become apparent.

And it got just the responses it deserved (and prompted people to share their tales of something similarly awful happening to them).

‘Unfortunately I live in a big town/small city where we are the middle of an extreme drought so we have very intense water restrictions – 50 L per day per person – so very limited options from places that use “gray water.”’
