To kill a man and dump his body in the chiller section

Lots and lots of major shit in my life at the moment and the stress is showing in my face. Today has been horrific especially. Popped to supermarket. A delightful man decided to tell me to cheer up as it might never happen. Shouted ' you don't know what is going on my life , he told me to shut up as he walked away. He was obviously thinking his kind work as a Samaritan had done the trick. I told ( shouted) him to shut up too. Had to vent so told a lovely lady who worked there. There was nothing she could do but I did have a fantasy of him being hauled out by security lol. So would I have been unreasonable to have throttled him and shoved him in with the other frozen pork products .

I used to reply "How do you know it hasn't happened?" from being about 14 when I used to get these comments.

I see a business opportunity in a storage facility for the body's of those to fucking annoying to live. As my start up's 'proof of concept' I'll obviously have to kill a man myself. I have one picked out Angry Halo

I think the facility would masquerade as a state of the art cryrogenic preservation centre. Very picky over clients, very white and brushed aluminium, suuuuper exclusive...

But under all that shiny light Apple inspired interior design it would be a bunch of chest freezers which can be leased out as a secure way to store all your oopsie slight over reactions to fucking idiots (offering freehold freezer sized patches for a premium darling!). Mortgages which would only be paid off when the paying clients (aka sly murderer) have popped their clogs as well. No nasty discoveries and court cases here!

You'd have to be a thick as mince to think comments like this are about genuine concern for the woman's welfare.

What the hell gives anyone the right to tell another person to 'be smiley' on their say so?
Have you read the examples on the thread and when pointing out tragic things have happened the 'face police' have been even more rude?

Nobody has the right to accost someone and tell them to cheer up or smile because they think they should be floating around like some smiling goddess bestowing love and light on the male population.

Self important doesn't even come close.

Which chiller cabinet

I feel that's important

Apologies if youhave already said, i have just skimmed through the thread

As previous posters have said, someone who is genuinely concerned that another person is upset, will ask 'Are you OK? Is there anything I can do?' - they will not simply expect the other person to plaster a smile on top of whatever may be making them look less than happy.

'Give us a smile/cheer up, love, it may never happen' twats are not concerned with the other person, and what may be upsetting them - they just want women to be smiley and decorative because that makes them feel better. They don't give a shit about the person they say it to.

This is on the continuum of cat calling, as far as I'm concerned.
It's still men feeling they have the right to comment on a woman's appearance, from:
Cheer up love.....you're a big girl....get your tits out....do you swallow.... etc.
I am sure everyone can fill in the gaps for themselves.
I think we can get sidelined by thinking about those times when the worst has happened. It's not about them misjudging it.
Telling them that you actually do have a reason to feel sad is justifying your own facial expression to them! You don't have to confirm that you've got a legitimate reason not to look happy enough for their liking...
The reason I'm pissed off about it is because it's another manifestation of male entitlement.

Moocherbot · 27/04/2017 10:24

Surely if they really care they'd say "Are you ok, you look a bit sad, can I help with anything, feel free to ignore if you need your space?" Probably most people wouldn't, because, y'know, boundaries, but it wouldn't be sexist. Smile it might never happen is not only unhelpful, and pointless, it is sexist in its implication of womens' duty to go round looking pleasant.
