Now we just go together. They only talk to him
What the fuck, if I’d be your husband I’d just tell them to “talk to my wife because she knows more about cars than me”.

Nah, I have a very low tolerance for a patronizing tone, but a pretty high one for being ignored, and the language barrier makes me seem even less knowledgeable, so it’s a recipe for condescension if I’m the primary communicator. My husband would love it if I let loose on them in English, but that feels like giving up a little. We just laugh at them together afterwards and if they’re too awful, we find a new place.
