I was sitting outside at a coffee shop having a drink. The coffee shop is next door to what was an empty building but now has signs up that it’s going to be opening soon as a beauty and aesthetics salon.
A woman was outside, painting the windowsills and some other parts of the outside of the building.
A couple walked past (male and female). The man, in a way that men often seem to do, decided to tell off the woman who was painting. It went like this;
’You’re doing it all wrong! THIS is how you’re meant to do it’
He then snatched the paintbrush off the painting woman and did a few strokes with it to show his ‘perfect’ technique.
She said ‘oh right, I’m meant to do it like that? Ok thanks’.
After she started painting again, he watched for a few seconds then he and his OH walked off.
I didn’t speak up at the time because it would have caused a drama and it didn’t directly affect me but I was absolutely fuming about it!
I’m sick of men thinking they can lord it up over women all the time and ‘tell us off’!
