Women's football brings out the entitled misandrists

On holiday and a table was booked by a woman. She started off complaining to the owner about the amount of places set, it turned out that she has got her numbers wrong. No apology for her rudeness.

She then told him he was to put the women's football on. He said the TV had been booked at whatever time but he could turn it on until then.
She said why what is on and he said the premier league's 1st game men's football, She let out a massive groan at the word men's football and told everyone to get up and leave!

This entitled imbecile reserved the table and tried to lose the place money as she couldn't get her way. Luckily the place is very popular so the owner didn't lose any money.

AIBU to think that all these demands that everything must stop because women are playing football are by the entitled types, who impose their views on everybody else. Personally I couldn't give a toss which sex is playing!

They honoured a previous first come first served request, so not really.

There is no way they would honour a request to watch women's football over the mens world cup though.

Following to see if the deletion will be fir the personal attack or the making shit up

I'm not convinced she was howling.

She definitely wasn't a sea serpent no

You can’t assume her species

Someone on the other thread is furious because the Royal Family aren't there. Grin

Whys that funny. Why shouldn't they be.

SpamFrittersYouSay · 17/08/2023 17:58

I don't like football but if a party was prebooked and that booking was for a male Premier League football screening then that booking should stand, irrespective of the opinions of bandwagon jumping female football fans who arrived on spec.

This men's/women's football nonsense is getting silly.

Oh, I'm prepared to believe something like this happened. I'm not prepared to believe that the mention of the word "men" caused this woman to howl with outrage!

BelovedLucy · 17/08/2023 18:45

Pmsl at op waiting 6 days to post about something that didn’t happen and then not knowing whether it was Friday evening or Saturday morning it didn’t happen on.

It is walk ins too yes, but it was a large table and the poor man was trying to honour a previous request. Reserving a table and not turning up is equally as rude and entitled in my opinion.

Please don't bother commenting if you don't believe it happened. It makes you all look rather weird to waste your time.

Bye now.

P.S I hope the Lionesses win, but I would rather relax on holiday than get furious and outraged about whether the RF show up
Etc etcSome people need to get a real problem.

But you got key details wrong and haven't even elaborated on where in the world you are?

Friday night to Saturday lunchtime is a big difference. Appreciate you may get Friday and Saturday mixed up but surely even you know that there are no prem league games midday on a Friday!

seriouslysolonge · 17/08/2023 15:48

Not made up. It was Friday and I don't know the timings but the owner told her that he was playing the Prem when it comes on due to a first come first served request.

Definitely Friday but no idea if morning afternoon or evening.....except it was actually Saturday 🤔

This. I'm cringing on your behalf @seriouslysolonge I would ask for this thread to be deleted if I were you. It's a massive car crash! 😬

TooBigForMyBoots · 18/08/2023 15:25

Fuck yeah YABU OP. A woman was rude and you have jumped to Women are hating on men because other women are good at football.

Crazy biscuits.

I can't see any misandry here. Just an entitled customer

As a man, I would see it the same way as you. There is plenty of misandry on this forum (much understandable) but that is not my impression in this case.
