Annoyed by random man incidents

I live in a village with bottle neck at one end due to residents parking on one side of the main road. A colleague had been driving into the village (their right of way) and had almost cleared the parked cars when a man in a big car (possibly Range Rover) pulled out blocking her way. He was gesticulating for her to reverse but she just shook her head. He became enraged at this, got out of his car and screamed and shouted at her to reverse as he was ‘a busy man and didn’t have time to waste.’ She got out of her car, grabbed a book, sat on her bonnet and told him it was a shame as she didn’t have anywhere to be! After effing and jeffing he eventually reversed. When she told me this I was a bit 🤔 until I saw someone’s doorbell footage on Faceache!

I once had a standoff with a young guy in the street who clearly expected me as a tiny brown woman to get out of his way.I stared him out till he gave up and walked round me. I can't abide when men assume that they own every bloody space. Don't get me started on bus and train seats!

I was recently crossing a totally clear quiet residential road (10mph limit) when a man in his emotional support Ute suddenly turned in from the main road at huge speed. He screeched to halt and I continued crossing bearing in mind I had nowhere else to go. As he passed he shouted. "You could have said thank you you stupid bitch".

Thanks for not mowing me down? Knob.

The idea that you think this is an excuse for barging into people is insane! You either need an eye test, or an attitude change, or both.

I'm tall, and my DH is over 6 foot. We somehow manage to both see short people (including small children and toddlers!) and manoeuvre around them so as not to bash into them.

I’m 5ft tall and manage not to bump into people just because they are shorter than me. Just as well since I work with children. I just make sure I look all around me as I move. Good to confirm my thinking others don’t though, which is why I always tell children in my care to be aware as others might not bother to be.

It's the instant flash of rage that's so strange to me. Constant, simmering anger that needs the lightest trigger and they'll lose their shit. And we're the emotional ones.

Why all the bigotry?

I was talking about this very subject to my friend today. She's a prison officer, 5'11" and menopausal, so let's just say that she's not easily intimidated.

She was driving down a country road this afternoon, no other cars around except an SUV in front of her towing a small horse box. The horse box doors had opened and were flapping, and the stuff inside - feed bucket, riding hat, jackets and boots - were rolling around from side to side. (Thankfully no horse inside!)

To get the driver's attention, she flashed her lights once and gestured towards the doors. Next thing she knew, he'd braked hard, blocking the road, and ran at her car, shouting that she was a stupid fat cunt and what was she in such a fucking hurry for anyway.

She took great delight in sitting there impassively until he'd stopped, and then pointed out that she was trying to tell him about the doors. He got all flustered but instead of apologising, he just looked at her and then said "Yeah. Well." and stomped back to his car. Then had to stomp back out again to shut the horse box doors 🙄.

She was almost laughing about it when she was telling me, but she said that she was shocked at how aggressive he was, instantly, from nowhere. Really unnecessary.

My FIL does this. He claims that he needs a car next to him to be able to park straight. I told him that I thought it was incredibly selfish, as he knows I have to park further away in order to have the best chance of getting in and out of the car. I need the door wide open due to my disability, but don't qualify for a blue badge as I can walk. He told me that if my car was the only one in the car park, he'd park next to it. Apparently his needs trump everyone else's.

That’s quite intimidating. Awful.

What can absolute bastard

YES! I don't think I've ever had a woman hover over me at the gym to ask how long I'll be. Men do it nearly every time I go. Cunts.

As usual Germain nails it....

This is hilarious - the image has me laughing out loud 😂

Oh dear, did I talk about your husband?
I'll write it out 30 times.

There seems to be something about single lane traffic when the cars are parked on their side they hate too. Amount of times I continue driving and they pull out in front of me, as soon as they see it is a woman, just to do some sort of face-off. I always stop and gesture for them to reverse, mouthing MY RIGHT OF WAY and pointing at the cars. They really really hate that

Why can't people spell brake correctly?

I was swimming with my daughter at center parcs and there were a group of adults in their mid 20s. I assume I must have got in their way as one of the men picked me up by my waist and moved me to the side. I still can't believe it happened.

In aldi,just after lockdown I'd gone to stand in the queue

Dp had wondered off to find his corned beef as he'd forgotten to pick it up

I joined the end of the queue and when the belt became free,I started to unload our shopping

An older bloke came out of nowhere,and started screaming and jabbing his finger at me

I'd pushed in apparently-I bloody hadn't,he wasn't in the queue when I joined it

His face when dp appeared and asked what the hell was happening

The bloke shuffled off-it was clear he thought I was on my own so fair game

Another time I was waiting on the self serve in tesco

I was the only one waiting,one became free so I moved forward

I'd just scanned my hair grips when another bloke came out of nowhere and shouted at me for taking 'his' till

Thankfully a female tesco staff member came forward to show him another free till but he started on her before dumping his basket and walking away

The amount of men that have a go at me at work for something beyond my control is staggering

I always shout for a male manager and watch them shrink and be polite to him but I'm fair game as I'm female

It pisses me off-it's like they cant control their hatred of women

A man cut me off on a roundabout, I was in the left hand lane going left, he was in the right hand (third!) lane and sped up to overtake me, he was shouting out of his window until we both happened to stop at the same petrol station. He opened his door still shouting but walked off with his tail between his legs when I opened my door and said ‘I beg your fucking pardon? Never used a roundabout before?’

When I was a teen I did the man barging experiment and got a very bruised shoulder. It made me realise just how often I moved out of the way for men for absolutely no reason.

In the steam room last week - one guy LAY FACE DOWN whilst his mate sat on the Banch next to the door with his big hairy feet crossing the door space?!! Then proceeded to sit and talk about the food they’d eaten recently which had given them diareeah.

Men are such vile creatures.

Men just need to evolve! All these incels in their bedroom hating women and girls blaming them whilst they stay fat and pasty with no social skills.
Think how women's lives, values, responsibilities have changed in the last 100/50 years- it's mens turn now!
Humans are designed to progress, adapt, improve- too many men are just stuck in the past and holding us all back.
Men need to man up!!

Neighbour who decided that as a single parent I should be responsible for someone near his garden on the road behind keeping him up (our gardens were diagonal). He stormed over at 1am and rang my bell for 30mins, ranting about how if he couldn't sleep neither would I. I spoke through the doorbell, confirmed I would not be opening the door, had no idea about the noise and was calling the police. He clearly hadn't encountered a camera bell before and when the PCO went over to warn him about harassing behaviour seemed very shocked there was a 30min video of him being an aggressive knob in my porch. He was a Headmaster before he retired too!

The driving ones happen every time I get in my car. I always check my speed and it's not me going too slow or my error, they are just angry men being shits. I am finding myself increasingly tempted to break suddenly when they tailgate but always think how much of a faff the waiting for their insurance to pay out would be, if they have any!
