Just packing up my groceries into the car and herding children into their car seats when this chap wanders by (clearly heading for the shop) and says 'A woman's work is never done!' I look a bit baffled as I'm trying to think of a reply and he says 'I'm on my own now, so I have to do these things too' I said 'well I'm sure men can manage perfectly well' (trying to be sort of nice, even though I am thinking WTF??). He replies, wandering off 'I was in the military my dear, we didn't have ladies to look after us'. I sort of smiled/glared and said again 'And I'm sure you manage perfectly well'

then I slammed the tailgate shut and muttered 'twat' to myself.

'Ladies' FFS.

I mean it's not my mission in life to give some random bloke a feminist lecture in a supermarket car park but seriously, I should have done something more shouldn't I?

It does sound annoying but I think the moment’s gone now, and any witty retort you made would probably just go right over his head anyway.

Could have been worse. He could have said: “Cheer up, love.”
