Annoyed by random man incidents

Yes, but today we're talking about men.

I'll have to think about examples when I've encountered women who've behaved just as badly.

I may be some time 🤔

Had similar this week at a hotel pool. I was chilling in a corner and two kids and a man were throwing a ball between each other from each end of the swimming pool.
I asked the children a couple times to move down a bit as the ball kept landing and splashing. Next I know the ball lands right next to me from the man throwing so I hold it and ask nicely that they move further down the pool rather than throw it the whole length.
I get a mouthful of abuse about them being kids and how I touch HIS ball in HIS pool .
I just stared at him with an unimpressed face. Handed the ball to the embarrassed looking child while he stormed out. He came back after they got changed to try to yell again but my unimpressed silent face made him get annoyed and storm off again.

The squeaky mouse 4 ft 9 silly fuck who was rude to me also got shit posted about him all over him workplace Instagram page detailing how rude he was to me when he was supposed to be doing his pathetic sorry excuse for a job. Hope they've sacked the dumb little fucker.

And what did you do?

I've took to saying "oh sorry I forgot it's men before ladies these days."
Haven't yet had the reply "where are the the ladies then?" But I'm sure I will soon.
But I have to say a man held a door open for me today and that really doesn't happen often any more first time in absolutely ages.

Oh go away.

This in spades.

It's like that bit from one of Mickey Flanagan's stand up specials, where he says something along the lines of his dad thought he was being a great help when he would close the cupboard door after himself and would announce it like something to be proud of.

A few generations ago men had to go out to work and...that's it. That's all it took to be considered a good man, husband and father. Times have changed, the world has changed, women's roles have changed, and men are struggling to accept it.

When my sister was going through her divorce, my grandad asked her if her husband beat her, or cheated on her, or gambled away all their money. When she answered "no" to all three questions, his response was "well what's the problem then?" What indeed.

Why don't you start a thread called 'annoyed by random woman incidents' if you're that arsed?

I think there is very much something in the fact that we are the only first/second generation that don't 'need' men. Also now it's fine to be a lesbian or a single mum or just single. And that looking after your own bank account, buying a vibrator and not ever cleaning a toilet after a man is a valid choice. Education around consent, pleasure and abusive behaviour is better. Financial literacy is better. Gender 'roles' less dictated. This gets more positive again with gen x kids (look at the tik tok trend- 'how hard can it be- boys do it ). The men are realising that they'll have to actually be decent humans to attract/keep a woman. That makes the crappy ones feel irrelevant. As the crappy ones haven't learnt to deal with complicated feelings, they act it out in rage behaviour, like toddlers.

Also- what is with the height thing?! I am 5'4.5" (measured medically) and eye-line to a guy at work who says he's 5'10".

Another man bashing post! Women are dicks too!

Oh God, way too many to count. But I was proud of this one.

My then 16 year old daughter phoned me in tears from the bus she was on, the driver had been unnecessarily nasty to her over a fare misunderstanding and embarrassed her in front of a busy queue. I picked her up after she'd got off, drove after the bus, got ahead of him and parked. Stopped him at the nearest stop, got on and sweetly asked if he had cameras on board. When he said yes I said, loud enough for the whole bus to hear, 'good, because that was my daughter you bullied at the start of your route and I'll be on to your company first thing in the morning.'

Fucking sad middle aged cunt, bullying a wee lassie.

Like some other ladies have mentioned already i only get the "barge" from men shorter than me (another tall one here).

I'm starting to see a pattern forming🙄

I could see this male runner through the park railings clearly intending to barge me as he came round the corner. The railings were set into a stone wall beneath which was my dog, which he could not see. He charged round that corner straight into my German Shepherd - what a fright he got.

There have always been awful men. Years ago I beeped an idiot for overtaking me unsafely in a residential street crowded with parked cars. He stopped in the middle of the road, blocking me, and came back to my car. No sir, I won't open the door or wind the window down. He was gesticulating angrily.

I reached into my handbag, got out my phone and pressed 9 three times. I showed him, and hovered my finger over the green call button. He got in his car and drove off sharpish.

I wish it had been a smart phone, so I could have taken photos of his face and number plate too.

Men are angry because women are dumping and divorcing their sorry asses. If they improved themselves they wouldn't get dumped, but they seem to believe that women are happy putting up with their disgusting and annoying habits so are caught off guard when they realise we live in the modern world and can divorce/dump them 😂

....

absolutely. My poor grandma, her husband used to keep his salary and drink it off. She built a house, raised animals and made food from scratch, and worked full time and raised a son all on her own. All the man had to say was: Be glad, woman, that a man still lives with you.

he was 15 years older and perhaps sexually impotent also. Oh my goodness

This has happened to me many times. Not sure if they are totally unaware of themselves, entitled or just plain ignorant.

Do you trample on small dogs too?😂

Walking down the street today with my 3year old and baby in pram. 5 men walking side by side towards me. Not one of them moved to let me by

And whilst I’m at it - I have noticed on 3 occasions in the past year when I have taken my DD10 along with one of her gymnastic friends to McDonald’s as a treat, on each separate occasion a male (all around around 50 years of age) have commented on the girls ie “So is it dance or cheerleading?” or after a local competition “I’ve noticed a few of these girls today wearing those tracksuits - what is it they do?” and more oddly after replying “Gymnastics” this one guy proceeded in asking “Oh whereabouts is the club then?”
On two of the occasions, despite there being plenty of free tables these men came and sat right beside the girls. One kept regularly glancing at them so I fiercely glared back and made the girls move over seats.

This isn’t a sexist anti-men rant but genuine incidents involving male members of the public. It’s funny how it’s never a female to comment or bat an eyelid to my daughter or her friends.

After reading all of these experiences I'm starting to get angry for yiu all & hating men!

Someone mentioned on here recently how you never seem to get men who are 5 foot 11 on online dating profiles.

This reminds me of a male driver who did similar gestures to me a few weeks ago. I’d been last in the queue (in the 2nd lane) at the roundabout which turned left onto the highway and only just made it through as the lights were turning amber after me. I hadn’t had a chance to pick up much speed as I’d only just turned onto the highway, when a car came flying up my rear who had clearly sped through the red light as he wasn't in the lane behind me when I turned left. He proceeded in beeping and raging at me as he came right up my backside. I couldn’t just move across to the slow lane out his way as there were 2 huge lorries in it so he had to wait for me to accelerate in order to overtake whilst having a fit the entire time. Idiot.

OMG yes have had such bad experiences recently. I’m heavily pregnant and have had 2 recent experiences of men being really aggressive. I walked over to a self checkout. Plenty of available ones. A man actually pushed me aside to get to the same one. And said “I got here first”.

I gave him a piece of my mind and from the look on his face, he did not expect that at all! I think some just feel they need to exert their dominance and genuinely shocked when I give it back to them. He left upset and embarrassed. I won’t repeat what was said.

i am a very small woman who wears a hijab. Some men genuinely think I’ll meekly comply.

😅😅😅👍👍👍

The second I tapped my card this man barged between me and the checkout I had used and started scanning his shopping, leaving me flustered as I gathered up my shopping and tried to pack it away while moving the pram and my other child away

I'd now be living on that checkout. No fucking way would I have moved faster than a dead slug to let him finish scanning his shopping. Prick!!
