You seem to have a little hostility towards women, here, fishcrawford. The particular words you have chosen and the entire tone of the OP indicate that you have little or no respect for women, and consider them lower than you (and not just the ones bugging you in the office, either). If this is not actually the case, you might want to reconsider how you talk/write about them.
It’s not so much when women squeal amongst themselves in a seemingly fake manner for me, but when the same voice is applied to a public address system in, say, a grocery store, asking for more register tape or such. Yikes.

**Well, thanks there DDG for more of that good old man-bashing man-hating stereotypical sexist crap. Just what we need more of.
I’m a man. I have never, ever, in my whole life talked in that way. The same goes for many, many men I know, and I’ve probably been party to more all-male conversations than you have.
Maybe mouthing off your pet stereotypical prejudices, or recycling rancid quotes from the unthinking woman’s guide to drive-by man-bashing, is your idea of either fun or a positive contribution to this or any other thread. If so, it sucks to be you.
Oh wait a minute… here come the defences:
“It was a satirical swipe at the lameness of the OP”
“It was a parody of the sexist rantings involved in the OP”
“I was holding up a mirror to the stupidity of the OP”.
Any points you wanted to make about the foolishness of the OP could be made without slandering myself and other men who don’t talk like that, never have and never will. Crass and egregious sexism is unwanted and offensive in either direction. If you can’t or won’t appreciate that fact, then I suggest you aren’t much help when it comes to "fighting ignorance
I don’t know DDG, but it sounded to me that she was taking a swipe at his ignorant YOUTH rather than “just” his gender.
and an embarrassment to your gender.
With an attitude like yours, of course they avoid you.
Grow up, kid.
Are you saying that in your 19 years of living, you have experienced a wide sampling of office work-places? And you’re annoyed when women discuss their children and families in HIGH PITCHED NICE voices? As a middle-aged “whore” with three grown children and three grandchildren, I take umbrage with your “clucking” comment. And the F’ing C’nts comment, too. And your use of the term “bunch of females.” Sheesh, why not just refer to them as a troop of cyclical bleeding orangutans hooting for the Hell of it? But you have a right to your opinion, I suppose. I reserve the right to think your opinion sucks.
As for your mistakes on the job, perhaps your boss is the best person to bring the mistake up with. Otherwise you might resent the “middle-aged ‘I got more life experience than you’ whore” telling you how to do your job. Even though she has more experience than you. Chippy-the-shoulder, I would like you to meet Clucky-she-who-knows-more-than-you “Whore”.
And this comes from a poster whose signature line is nothing but self-verification quotes
I would like to sincerely apologize to all those who felt let down by the content of my post. You must understand, this was my first attempt at a rant. Next time I won’t use such loaded words as “cunt”, since I see that by applying it to a group of 4 women who are indeed that, I have offended the group as a whole. It seems that the women of this board are automatically backing them up these office cacklers because of my choice of words. If you had to stare into the huge saucers eyes of the lady who operates the front desk or listen to the commentary on how cute every single Christmas shirt is, you have frustration deep-seeded enough to use such detrimental words as cunt. To those of you who have understood where I’m coming from, thank you. To those who think because I have no respect for the 4 idiots I work with, means I have no respect for women as a whole, fuck you.
Give me a fucking break ultress.
First of all, your sig isn’t much different.
Second of all his sig and the content thereof has absolutely nothing to do with what he’s saying.
Third of all - do you always come into the ass end of a conversation just to say something stupid like that? I must admit to not having ever noticed you outside of this forum but my limited experience with your posts here leads me to believe that you’re a fucking bitter bitch.
Girls, girls. You’re both pretty.
There you go again. The size of the lady’s eyes, which she (of course) has no control of, gets you mad enough that you want to say “cunt”. Saying “cunt” is not the real issue here, though - it’s your attitude. It’s no wonder these people avoid you. People aren’t stupid; they have an inkling of what you’re thinking when you’re forced to look into their horrible eyes. Jeez, will you listen to yourself?
Then you should have specifically ranted about Mrs. Bigeyes at the front desk, or about the constant annoying commentary on how cute the shirts are.
But you directed your rant towards ALL the women in your office, categorically, and you directed it against their high-pitched “female” voices, which isn’t something they can HELP, stupid, it’s biology, it’s the size of the female larynx that produces it, you might as well rant about the high-pitched voices of children, and you directed it against the fact that middle-aged women talk about their children and their families, which is perfectly normal behavior for any people, of any age or gender, and you directed it against the fact that when you screw up on the job, your co-workers report it to your boss, instead of bringing it to you so you can “explain” it (read: weasel your way out of it),which again is perfectly normal behavior for any people, regardless of age or gender.
And you directed it towards the fact that these women who are old enough to be your mother have apparently let YOU know that THEY know that they’re old enough to be your mother, and that for this reason they’re not inclined to take any of your suggestions seriously.
Therefore, your rant was directed towards a group of people who are behaving perfectly normally, and then you used offensively sexist terms such as “whore” and “fucking cunts” to describe these perfectly normal women, and as such the rant merits you the label of “asshat”.
The women, there are 4, who work in my office. Since there are 4 who work in my office you fuckin moron, that would mean all the women that work in MY OFFICE. Her eyes are like fuckin pans, when she talks they get REALLY BIG, and when she talks to other women her voice gets REALLY high pitched, more so than when she is talking on the phone. When she is face to face with the OTHER WOMEN in the office, the OTHER WOMEN get loud and high pitched also, ITS JUST like that fat bitch from Office Space who annoys the hell out of everyone.
DDG - I don’t want to argue with you because this is pretty pointless but I’m going to point out a few things wrong with what you just said.
First of all, he wasn’t talking about a natural female voice or the size of the layrnx. He was talking about the ‘HIGH PITCHED HAPPY ASSED FAKE SUBURBAN LET’S SEE WHO CAN SCREAM LOUDER AND BE CUTER AND HAVE THE BESTEST KIDS!’ voice.
Second of all, it’s not polite, respectful, or common to ‘go over someone’s head’ in any situation, be it business, education, or military. It’s downright wormy.
Thirdly, you agree that them being old enough to be his mother is just cause for them not taking him seriously. How is age discrimination any better than sexual discrimination?
I agree with everything DDG has said in this thread. Using terms like “cunts” and “whores” is pretty much self-discrediting. Your whole little rant comes off as patently misogynist and self-absorbed. So they talk about their families, that makes them “cunts?”
As to them taking complaints to your boss, could it have something to do with how YOU treat THEM, Fish? Do you show them any respect at all. Do you give any indication that you would be receptive to any criticism from “cunts and whores?” They have no obligation to show you any special courtesy. If you can’t do your job correctly your boss needs to know about it.
Jeezus, what are you going to do if you ever actually get married to woman who talks in a high-pitched voice about her family?
You know, it’s just barely possible that he gets treated like this precisely because he acts like a childish little asshole.
fishboy, in your OP, you stated “a bunch of females” and you labeled them as “fucking cunts.” Did you not consider that a “bunch of females” on an internet messageboard would not take notice of your particular brand of nomenclature?
Ah, what the Hell, it’s Christmas Eve. Have a Happy Christmas, from Santa and the Four Fucking Cunts! And Three Tuetonic Cackling Hens, Two fucking Cunting Birds, and a Whore in a Partdrige Tree!
DDG I also rate the OP’s rant a 1, but your ‘re-do’ rant a -5; dude was just trying to get something off his chest, which the BBQ pit is for. This is not a perfect world, no one can be politically correct 100% of the time. :rolleyes:
In addition to the other typos, there should have been a “Pear” in there somewhere…Mayhaps the last line…I’m not sure…
Mayhaps Santa will leave the omitted word in my stocking…
You are being held to account by both genders based on how you have chosen to present yourself.
Hopefully you are not so set in your ways as to learn to change your tune. It not, then pity on you.
Fuck changing my tune. All I can say is Cisco was dead on. The wormy bitch who takes everything to my boss I have very little face time with. I make one mistake out of the 15,000,000 medical sheets I enter a day and she makes a copy and GOES RIGHT TO MY BOSS. So, yes, I’m pissed. No way I’m changing my tune to justify the actions of a couple of loud office hoes who are un-naturally loud and fake.
