I have discovered why some guys would prefer to talk to your husband. While listening to a guy rant once about a female driver who really ticked him off, he made the comment, “I don’t get chicks who think they can get attitude and start yelling and screaming. They can’t pull it off, they should keep their mouths shut.” Basically, he would have preferred to have it out with the girl’s bf/h because he probably would have gotten violent with him. But he wouldn’t beat on a girl, so he was mad that she would have the audacity to yell at him without being able to back it up.
That’s one guy’s point of view at least. And don’t think I’m condoning this, just telling you one of the things I found out. Please be careful and think before you start getting 'tude with a stranger. Not everyone is going to be so “cavalier” (and I use this term lightly) as to not get violent with you just because you are female.
No shit? I realize the potential scene that could have taken place. As stated above it was not the brightest move ever made. I also am not one to start yelling and screaming at someone. My problem is the nasty comments that I can come up with. I don’t like to argue with people so if I can cut it short I surely will. No yells were yelled except when he got loud and started waving his arms around. So I insulted him further and walked away (quickly ) This dude was looking for an arguement, he was being cool in front of his buddies. You would have had to been there I guess to understand this scene.
I’m not taking shit off of anyone unless I deserve it. If I wasn’t ready to back up the bird that I flipped him, I shouldn’t have done it in the first place IMHO. I did it, I am ready to back it up if I am called on it. I have been known to apologise instead of insult further. But not to this dude. He wanted to tell the bitch off, I could see that as he walked up to my truck. Well nice try dude.
Heloise, I am so not understanding guys like you described. As adults we are supposed to be able to express our anger in words instead of violence. I know that some guys can be so angered by some words that they can be pushed to violence by simply insulting them in the right way. That is bullshit in my book. No real man (or woman) should be so easily manipulated. Some men are more easily insulted if the mean words come from a woman instead of a man. Why is that? That is the part I really don’t get.
The OP was along the lines of “this shit gets to me”. Well this kind of shit gets to me, and once in a while I can’t help but react to it. Call me human. I was expressing to Stuffinb that I think I know how he feels.
Anyone else care to talk about the OP for a change?
Getting back a little bit closer to the OP…and speaking of left turns at intersections, I HATE it when people need to make a left turn, and they don’t CROSS into the intersection when the light is green. They just sit there, until the light is orange, and then they zip out and turn left, once the opposing traffic has stopped. Which means that only ONE person can turn left per green light. If these people would just pull up INTO the intersection (which is not necessarily dangerous, and most of the time there is AMPLE room), then maybe a couple of cars could make the turn. And we would all get places faster. People are just really sloppy. And another scary thing: I just found out that my boyfriend (and incidentally his mother) did not know that the white lights that light up on the back of cars are “backing-up” lights. How the fuck do you get a license without learning important little details like this? Hmmm…
