Bloody male entitlement!

At dc's hobby class tonight, new fella arrives the grandparents of one of the children. He sits down and delivers a monologue for 18 minutes at me, I checked my watch. I heard about his house, his prostate problems, his career, his degree, his wife's career.

I really can't believe I let him ramble for so long. Initially I assumed he may be a lonely old fella, but as he's talking about his family, his hobbies etc I realised he was just an entitled arse who thought I was there to be his sounding board.

I moved away and won't ever make the mistake of sitting by him again, but fuck my life why do (mostly) men think this is fine?

Just fuck off, I want to watch dd do her thing, flick through Instagram and not listen to your fucking issues!

Honestly, I’ve experienced more of that behaviour from women rather than men. Nothing to do with male entitlement but rather people who are lonely, have no social skills so can’t pick up on cues, are self centred, simply like to chat, etc etc.

Not everything annoying done by a man is male entitlement…
