Annoyed by random man incidents

[IfYouLikePinaColadaaa]

Yes it’s not much in the scheme of things but I’m becoming increasingly annoyed by men in public (I’m sure women do these things too but 90% of the time it’s men in my experience).

Only today I was paying at the self service in Tesco, had the baby (in pram) and 4 year old with me. 6 checkouts, every other checkout was free. The second I tapped my card this man barged between me and the checkout I had used and started scanning his shopping, leaving me flustered as I gathered up my shopping and tried to pack it away while moving the pram and my other child away. The way it happened he’d clearly been waiting to do it, although why I have no idea.

Second occasion we were stood in another shop, a very big tall man comes round the corner of the aisle and rather than wait the split second for me to pull DD towards me so he could pass (was already doing this) he barged past her and almost knocked her over shouting ‘SORRY, SORRY’.

Gah. Yes it all sounds a bit petty written out but I’ve got PMT and have had a few of these incidences lately and am fed up.

Don't forget, 1 in 8 men think they could win a point against Venus Williams 🙄

Well the Ken my mother and I knew, yes. Do you think women don’t get battered anymore or raped. Bloody hell you must live in a dream world. My mother was born in 1925 she became a director of Lyons, so I don’t really know what you’re talking about. You seem very bitter and angry.

Comments here even more depressing. Interestingly, one of them is a business page for someone I know. I would never have guessed they'd be such a dick.

Cheeky twat 😡. I would have asked him where he had parked his broomstick😎

Oh wow, I didn’t know about Ken! Well you’ve changed my mind, let’s take away womens rights again so that men will treat us better….

Bleed you, picking on a typo bring so perfect. I get treated fine, it’s you that seems to have a problem. This is my last reply as it get boring after a few. Adios.

She has all my sympathy. I was coming out of a junction when this twatting young dick in a BMW cut across me from the left. Naturally, I hooted and he had the nerve to stop in front of me, obviously trying to intimidate me for having the nerve to tell him off.

Then he noticed the cameras on my car and he ran away. I hope she has cameras too. Honestly, it's getting so that you can't venture out without them.

Thank you @DisabledDemon i think i might buy her a dashcam...the trouble is she is driving constantly and there are so many arseholes on the roads x

Honestly if I had a pound for everytime i've heard that old chestnut over the years i'd be doing alright, I always reply like I did today or with, yep it's always halloween in my house, depending on what mood i'm in😂. It's always men aged 50 and over every single time, they think they are so fucking funny.

Mine also has a rear camera. They're by Nextbase and were fitted by Halfords.

This happened to me many years ago when I was in my early 30s. I accidentally pulled out at a junction, not enough to be dangerous, but probably should have waited. I put my hand up to the bloke I had pulled out in front of, (like oooops sorry ...)

But that was not enough. He was on my bumper, revving up his engine and virtually redlining, and nearly hit me several times. He was beep beep beeping his horn, and screaming out of the the window, 'YOU! BITCH! YOU FUCKING STOP!' He was in a rage.

I was so scared. No way was I stopping, I was afraid he would hit me, or pull out a knife.

There had been a recent spate of road rage attacks and I was terrified. I drove for about 3 miles, with him hounding me, and I drove into the police station car park. He pulled in too, pulled alongside me, and as I got out of the car he said 'you'll keep you fat cunt. I will fucking end you next time, and I can trace you by your registration plate, so I already know where you live. You're fucking dead.'

Completely irrational and ludicrous anger and rage from this man, aimed at a young woman. (He was about 40-45.) I had my DD in the car too in her car seat, only a few months old, and as he drove off I burst into tears. I was in bits.

I went and reported it to the police, and long story short, they checked their cctv, and his registration number was a fake, and you could only see him from the back. So he was never traced. Even now, I shudder when I think about it. I never told anyone. Not even DH. I don't know why.

With the stories I am reading on here, it's no wonder so many women loathe men!

I have found this too. Every. Single. One. Even DH! Always try and be funny, and jovial, and think they are hilarious. I get men who are total strangers, randomly trying to chat and be totes hilaire, and they are all categorically NEVER EVER FUNNY.

I have said to DH many times 'that wasn't funny.' He always says 'of course it was, It's you. You have no sense of humour.' His mate from work messages him on his phone (also a man in his late 50s,) with 'jokes,' and my DH is howling with laughter, clutching his sides, and taking off his glasses to wipe the tears off his cheeks.

The jokes are NEVER FUNNY. Middle aged men are a law unto themselves, and they ALWAYS try to funny and clever. In reality, they are nowhere near as smart and funny as they think.

@SweetBirdsong that is truly terrifying....when it happened to dd she rang the police when she got home and they said if it ever happened again she can ring from her car whilst driving...really scary that there are people amongst us with this much rage inside them waiting to explode x

It was terrifying. And just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what we women have to suffer. Some men really really do hate women SO much. It's actually terrifying. Some women hate men for quite a few good reasons. Many of them treat women like absolute dogshit. Men have zero reasons for hating women, and treating them the way they do.

I hope your daughter is OK now.

They are never funny, why do they feel the need to comment though is what i'll never understand, just keep your shitty one liners to yourself you silly old fools😂

I remember the time I was standing in a fairly slow-moving queue in a shop. Suddenly some man came up to me and said "Excuse me, you do realise there's a queue, don't you?" I had been daydreaming and was completely confused, but said "Yes, I do, I've been standing in it for ages" and stood my ground. Not sure if he thought he could guilt trip me into giving up my place or just confused, but even if it was the latter I felt he should have checked his facts before slinging public accusations around.

Aww come on, cheer up luv! 😆

I once had a man tell me to “Smile, love - it might never happen!” - to which my reply was “It has happened - my dad just died suddenly, and we are going to see my mum”. I hope it made him think twice about using the same line on other women.

Yeah smile darlin' it might never happen😂. Why, oh why do they do it?

I am sorry @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius that happened. I honestly don't think random man would even think twice though and probably even said it again to some poor woman the very same day!

I never put this down to my sex at the time but actually, this thread has made me think differently. Maybe 15 years ago there was a junction on a busy road that led to the town centre. A man in a van pulled out on me and I beeped with a pissed off look on my face while slamming my brakes on. It was incredibly close. He stopped and shouted at me through the window and as a non shrinking violet, I shouted back equally. I would have been 21ish and he was at least 40. I drove off and he was behind me. There was parking on the side of the road a little distance later so I stopped to parallel park, this was opposite a bus stop with loads of people watching. He actively sped up and went into the back of me. I saw him in my mirror desperately trying to put it back into first gear and move forward. Then got out the van screaming at me etc. said things that made it seem like he'd got one up on me because it would be seen as my fault. I saw the cogs turn when I said it was his fault as I saw him speed up and it was him that went into the back of me. A lady came over from the bus stop to help me.

He made it all very dramatic, called the police etc. he then came in my face screaming that I needed to move the car as we were blocking the road. I said I wasn't moving until I received a call from the police as what was the point in them coming if the scene no longer remained. He said he was on the phone to the police. He did allow me to use his phone to speak to the person and I asked how was I to know that she wasn't his mate. She told me to look up at a camera and she could see me there. Described the scene, so we moved.

He then told his insurance it was my fault as I slammed on my brakes so they wanted 50/50. I remembered the camera footage and they said he was at fault. Would he have done that to a man?

Urgh, yeah right

Are you drunk?! Or just totally incapable of proofreading?

What a patronising pillock.

I am so sorry about your dad @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius

Way to miss the point.

Where do you all live? Can't say I've experienced being punished out of the way or felt flustered by someone being too close. Perhaps people where I live are just nicer or perhaps I'm so old they feel sorry for me.
