There are stereotypes everywhere about men who work at car dealerships being morally gross and inconsiderate, not to mention greedy and conniving.
But unfortunately, this is one of those instances where there might be some legitimate reasons behind those stereotypes.
After a pleasant experience buying a car, TikToker @shannfart's win was short-lived when she received an inappropriate text message from the man who had sold her the vehicle. And no, he wasn't checking in to see how she was enjoying the new ride.
Rather, he invited her to "be friends" and to "keep him company"—but there was much more that could be read between the lines.
While getting ready in a viral video, the visibly upset TikToker posted an open letter to the car salesman, saying:
"Just a quick open letter to the guy who sold me a new car yesterday: The car is beautiful, and it drives great, so thanks for that."
"I was just curious as to what you meant when I left the dealership and you texted me, and you said that we could be friends...and that I could keep you company..."
"I just wanted to know if you meant just you, or you and your wife and your kid."
"Sorry, your pregnant wife."
The TikToker went on to call out the behavior, citing the fact that this definitely wasn't part of the car-buying process, not to mention being poor husband and father behavior.

@shannfart I literally just needed a car. Please go to therapy. #fyp #cheater #car
Some rallied to show their support of the TikToker and were sorry she had to go through that.

Others encouraged her to take the next step and do something besides posting a video.

Heartbreakingly, many confided that this was hardly a new thing.

TikTok was relieved that @shannfart had shared this rather than keeping it quiet. Not only had the car salesman proven himself to be unfaithful to his wife and family, but he was also using someone's personal information for reasons outside of work.
No updates have been made to the TikToker's account, but hopefully she'll be taking next steps so this doesn't happen to more women—at least with this car salesman.
