Strong, Confident, Assertive Woman or B*tch?

PurpleBerry

I had the adventure of being at a large Irish train station the other day. I was standing in line near the automatic ticket machine. A loud shout came from the machine area, "No! Leave me alone!" said an agitated womans voice.

I looked up to see what was happening, as if there was danger in the air I'd prefer to be prepared, to see a woman putting her wallet away while a thin man who hadn't had a shave since Scrubs had a good episode rocked back and forth, a glassy look in his eyes.

I could be wildly wrong but this is how I interpreted the scene; Man in train station asking strangers for spare change. For whatever reason at all. Woman deciding not to part with her change (again for whatever reason) and telling Man in no uncertain terms to back off.

If I am right, and if not then we'll take it as a hypothetical situation, how would you interpret the womans declaration. Is she a strong, assertive woman who was possibly slightly afraid of this man and wanted to make sure he backed off? Or a heartless harpie, disgusted by this penniless individual and intent to have others hear her repulsion?

Sorry, short version of that question is, do you think she shouted because she felt intimidated or because she felt superior?

Neither. She shouted because she was a whore.

She was probably talking to the machine that was trying to sell her a ticket for a spin in an old-fashioned and very, very late Iarnród Eireann train.

Ah I see, so she was off duty.

That time of the month imo.

She probably did it out of frustration at being asked for spare change for the millionth time.

Sounds assertive to me. I don't know if shouting was necessary. I probably would have issued a quiet threat to call the guards. It's worked for me in the past.

I don't know about your "intimidated or superior" conclusion though. Intimidated or angry maybe?

how in the hell do you expect anyone here to know?

maybe she's having her period and instead of blood, gone off milk is dripping out of her.

I'll vote for option "Probably threatened by filthy intimidating scrounger desperate for free money. It's not assertive or being a bitch. In fact she was probably loud so as to attract attention to what she saw as the danger she was in."

Oh, wait a minute. . .

Couldn't have been. He mentions nothing about a trail of wild cats following her.

Dudess

You think Neesa's a bloke?

If the guy was giving her grief, it was an understandable if OTT reaction.

If she just started screaming at the guy just because he approached her, she's a witch.

Who? Oh, you mean Lisa?

Maybe she was arguing with the voices in her head... they were telling her to go to the north side... she on the other hand valued her life and her... well... valuables... and so refused to succumb to their evil ways... (yes the word cum is in there... teeheehee)

Scrubs is bad ass. All the episodes are good. Although there hasn't been any episodes released in a while so I can forgive your confusion....
