To be sick of men?

[TreatTreat]

Rather lighthearted, but with an air of seriousness.

I've just been on a flight back to the north of England from sunny climes. On the flight at least three men near me were sniffing with such force, I could hear the contents of their noses. One sounded like a sick pig each time he snorted inwards.

I rarely hear women sniff. All these men had women with them. If I had a man who did this, I know I'd have to tell him in a nice way to use a tissue and to stfu. Skanky men folk is why I'm forever single.

AIBU?

Yanbu. Don't forget the dramatic sneezing.

No. Absolutely not.

(I’m heartbroken and hate every man to exist right now, ask again next week)

YANBU. I hate this too. But to be fair,I have noticed a few women doing this too, usually when they're sat next to me on a bus. 🤢

It's horrendous on the tube as well, I'm tempted to start carrying packets of tissues and offer them to these men.

You should have commandeered the PA and made an announcement about any men making gargantuan sniffing noises spending the rest of the flight tied to the wing.

It is actually astonishingly irritating, when you look at gendered socialisation, and the difference for men who were never told as little boys not to sniff audibly, leg spread, guffaw.

There was several women sniffing away on the train I was on this morning.
Also one making a very loud phone call, one watching something on her phone very loud, one stood in a random place in the aisle getting in everyone's way even though there were seats and one with a manky dog that was sniffing people's bags.
Anti social behaviour on public transport isn't a man thing.

I’m just back from Spain (just this morning). The latter part of my 5 day break was an absolute write off, thanks to the man who was coughing his guts up right beside me on the outbound plane.
I mean at least wear a mask, FFS!
I haven’t been this unwell in a long, long time.

Oh yesss!

Oh legs spread too because they need the room for their gigantic bollocks and penis. Yep. Glad I'm single.

I wonder if you were on my flight back. I returned back to the country from Andalucía this morning!

I'm so sorry that selfish wanker made you poorly on your hols. I hope you feel better soon.

Ha ha ha. It was tempting.

I love bitching about men at the minute. It’s my favourite thing to do so I shall jump enthusiastically upon this bandwagon…

Men are the worst…. the WORST I tell you. Wankers.

That back of the throat snotting hawking thing ought to be illegal in public.

Ha ha ha ha. Me too.

I hate this. Staff should ask unwell people to mask up or get off. Flight to Egypt last year, a disgusting man was visibly ill & he spent the flight coughing & sneezing without covering his mouth. Lost most of a 10 day holiday because of him. Still makes me angry thinking about it.

They are all inconsiderate bastards!

I really don't think any other group within society would have a comment like that leveled at them and mumsnet would allow it to stand.

I wonder what mumsnet's reaction would be if that was about black men?

It wasn’t about black men though

Given the utter shite we put up with from even the nicest of them I think we are allowed to tut about their sniffing

To all men sniff in a that annoys you?

Think a bit harder.

I don’t understand this sentence but please go and look for a fight on reddit

I hate this. Every time I’m out somewhere, on a train, at the pub, walking with the walking group, there’s a man somewhere snorting all over the place and it drives me nuts.
If on the odd occasion it’s my DH, he gets a tissue thrust upon him.

I hate spitting. Men seem to think they are allowed to do that. I think they would have something to say if women started spitting everywhere. I was in a college recently and there were signs up reminding them that spitting is unhygienic!!! FFS surely they know? 🙄

I feel I need to defend the sniffers somewhat as I'm currently one of them Hay fever is absolutely ravaging me (female) at the moment and has been for week's. My nose is like a tap, to the point that if I blow it now I get a nosebleed. It's redraw inside and out and I've resorted to sitting in the house with tissue shoved up each nostril. As this isn't the kind of snotty chic I want to rock out in public, and I don't much fancy walking round with a nosebleed either, I'm doomed to sniff and sniff and sniff.

If it's any consolation though, it drives me bonkers too!
