Annoyed by random man incidents

That’s because they have 3” dicks they insist are 8”

The posts about men mansplaining sports reminded me of something similar that happened to DD13 and friends while they were ice skating (I was sat on the sidelines).

Much older teen boy skates up to them and offers to show them what they should be doing, how they should put their feet etc, keeping in mind they were decent skaters. DD13 says ‘no thanks we’re alright’, boy says ‘but I’m practically professional! I know what I’m doing!’ DD13 skates up to him and repeats very slowly and pointedly ‘no..thanks..we’re..alright. Did you catch that this time?’ And skated off laughing. I felt very proud!

Oh, I bet he shat himself!

Yes women do get impatient. Yes women can be arsey. Yes women can be horrible.

But I have never had a woman threaten to rape me. Or smack into me. Or elbow me. Or spit at me. Or call me a fat cunt. I have had men do all of the above, however.

Stop with this ridiculous whataboutery, it's infuriating.

Another example that springs to mind is my sister was driving home late one night and was being tailgated by an aggressive driver, who eventually pulled up alongside her at the traffic lights and wound down his window and started screaming at her waving a spanner of all things like he was going to use it.

Unbeknownst to him, my BIL was in the back of the car sat next to my baby DN. He got the shock of his life when a massive man jumped out of the back and proceeded to grab him through the window...

I don’t think it’s just men, I find women more likely to become impatient in shops, car parks and don’t get me started on the school run.
tailgating I find 50/50, men are more likely to just sit and tailgate, whereas women are more likely to wave their hands to try and make me speed.

Bit of both really, if someone pushes in the supermarket just say “excuse I am not finished yet” and if they push past you again “you just need to say excuse me” I don’t think people realise when they barge pass that they’re being annoying and self centred.

@Daphnis156 the great thing about a forum with specific chats for a specific topic is you can go and start a topic on 'annoyed by random women incidents' 🤷🏼‍♀️
The OP asked for specifically incidents with men after an incident with a man and posters are replying with specific incidents of men. They haven't said every single men I've met has done this, they are telling of specific incidents, I don't get why that annoys you

Now I am older, I am seeing more and more bad behaviour from men which maybe they didn't do to me so much when I was younger!

Walking straight towards you on the pavement and expecting all women to make way for them, leaning over you in the supermarket to reach something on the shelf instead of saying excuse me or, gasp, waiting ten seconds, pulling out in front of you in the car WHEN they see you're a woman!

I agree with above poster that they would not think of doing a lot of this stuff to other men! It's cowardly and bullying and they do it because they think they can get away with it unchallenged. It's not about holding doors open for women or being chivalrous, just treating women like normal human beings FGS!

Maybe you’d be happier on 4Chan 💐

Also had an incident a number of years ago in a Co Op car park.

Reversing out of my space, and a car entered the car park at a fair speed. Didn't like that I had just finished reversing and was pulling forward to leave, so started shouting abuse at me. When I laughed and said I was just trying to leave, he opened his door and told me to step out the car. Obviously, at 5ft 2 and of slim build, he didn't expect me to actually step out the car and thought it would have intimidated me.

He looked like a get away driver making off when my drivers door also flew open 🤣

Old men driving too slow is a nuisance.

Women fumbling with purses and taking ages to pay is a nuisance

Anyone wearing a hat will be a nuisance.

It's not just men!

I was so proud of my 3yo dd yesterday for playing, and winning, patriarchy chicken. We were on the Underground and she was walking along holding on to a bar on the wall (because it was there). Random Man came walking towards us, half concentrating on his phone (not holding the bar at all). He obviously expected her to move out the way but she wouldn't, and I didn't say anything. He looked most surprised at having to move round her. My dd will go far, I feel.

My DP and I were recently driving down a narrow country lane. As we got about 250 yards from the junction, a long van came flying round the corner on the wrong side of the road. Carried on driving towards us, past the passing point, and then demanded we pulled over and pulled our mirrors in so he could get round us. It was pointed out that he needed to reverse to the passing point, as there wasn't room on our side due to the hedges.

Once he reversed and we were able to pass him, he shouted 'you selfish fat slag' and spat through his window at our car.

Oddly, it was my DP (male) driving and I hadn't even opened my mouth...

It would be nice to stick a foot out at a right angle when these men barge past you on the pavement.

I've almost had my shoulder taken off by this barging behaviour before. I wonder what's the matter with them. What reason would they give if asked why they do it? I expect they're all wife beaters behind closed doors.

My first name is not shortened and is an entire name in its own right, but some people do use it as a shortened version of a longer name. A similar example would be Eliza which could be a shortening of Elizabeth, but often isn't.

Anyway, a man was once so adamant that I was lying to him and refusing to tell him my full name that he grabbed a set of keys I was holding and threw them over a wall, while shouting at me that I was lying and should just 'admit' that my name is "Elizabeth".

I had met him that day. I don't know why he thought he had the right to any information about me, or why he was so adamant that my name was really "Elizabeth" and I just didn't want anyone to know.

In hindsight, maybe women pick up on this guys vibe and do avoid telling him their real names. Wouldn't blame them.

Fortunately (ish?) a friend of his saw this happen and went and got the keys back for me but I still can't understand why he was so angry at me about my name and so desperate to believe I was lying to him.

I was in the queue in a Tesco express store, one checkout was open and because the basket was heavy I put it on the floor and was pushing it along with my foot as the queue moved forward. Someone behind me shouted ‘MOVE!’ at the same as I was propelled forward by an old man poking me in the back with his walking stick. I asked what the fuck was he playing at.
Apparently he didn’t think I was moving fast enough. I took my time at the till, packing my shopping.
I’ve had four powerful sports cars and I’ve been tailgated, cut up, undertaken more than I care to remember. Usually by knob heads driving low powered car the size of rollerboot. The looks on their faces when I left them standing was a joy to see.

I shoved one to the ground once many moons ago.

My mum lived in France and was recovering from breast cancer. Mastectomy, turban, and a permanent compression tube on one of her arms dealing with lymphatic fluid after removal. She was going through checkout and I'd gone to get myself a hair dryer iirc.
Joined the queue to see a guy physically shove her out the way as she was taking her card out to pay so that he could lob his stuff onto the conveyor belt. He'd caught her with the shove on the tubed arm which was sore and hurt her plus nearly knocking her off her feet as she was still pretty weak. She hadn't even been moving slowly or blocking the line but he was in a rush so thought bulldozing a woman who clearly had cancer to anybody with eyes was fair game.
I went down to the front end of the checkout, got between him and her, and in a fit of pure temper shoved him both hands in the chest with enough force to land him on his arse. Was relieved to note that as he sat there with his arms outstretched and looking round appealing for support/witnesses that everybody else looked away and hadn't seen a damned thing.

Im fortunate in that I have the stature and physicality to know that I can do that if pressed, so I dont concede ground to men and take up the same space that they do. But Ive seen them try and barge women so many times it's unreal.

I did this a couple of years ago. I was pulling out of a small coop car park when a man in a BMW came tearing into the car park and expected me to reverse right in and wait for him to park. There was room to get past me, but he'd decided that he wanted a certain parking spot and I was in his way. I shook my head, turned my engine off and started to play Ludo on my phone. He was aghast and furious. Adult ds was with me and we just shrugged. He eventually pulled to the side and let me out.

I agree.
It's a backlash, women are increasingly no longer willing to defer to them, they are losing their advantage and they don't like it.
They no longer have the leverage that they used to, they are losing the whip hand.

I think that what is making men aggressive is that there is now a push back against their constant harassment of women and speaking to us like shit. Generation Z also won't take it lying down.

Of course they don't, men usually push back much harder he won't want to risk it it's much more fun to try and intimidate a woman.
If anyone tries to talk to me in the middle of a set I completely ignore them, ditto men who sit on a bench and stare at me to try and intimidate me off of the equipment that I'm using.

There was a discussion online about cat calling, recently and there were some very aggressive men shouting at me in capitals about how the world is now full of misandry and everyone hates men (poor things). Because I pointed out that it's intimidating for people to do this and that my 20 year old daughter hates it and doesn't see it as a compliment.

Last week, while walking in AONB with DDs aged 10 and 14, our friendly schnauzer toddled over to a man who was walking in the opposite direction, sniffed his foot and toddled off again. As we passed each other I quipped “she’ll have your leg off! Ha!” And he snarled in reply “if she does I’ll kill her”.

i was gobsmacked by his aggression. I wonder whether he would have been so aggressive if I’d been with DH. Used it as a learning experience in - you can never tell who is going to be an utter arsehole - for the girls.

I was thinking about why some men sit next to lone women on public transport when there are plenty of spare seats. I think I know the answer:

• They don't want to have a random man sit next to them when the train starts filling up. If they are seen sat next to another man someone might think they are a couple!

Of course it isn't all men. Only the insecure ones with fragile egos.

I am 5'4" and size 8, but strong, and I always come off better than the man when I play Patriarchy Chicken because I am much more solid than I look. I have several successful man bounces under my belt!

Recently I had an altercation on the road with a man in a huge van who was completely at fault, but he took exception to my facial expression and stopped, wound down his window and asked me what my problem was. He was clearly expecting me to drive off abashed and was absolutely astounded when I wound my own window down and explained that my problem was that his poor driving had just forced me onto the grass verge... He just wound up his window and drove away. Fragile masculinity in action.
