You Know You're A Crazy Lady When...

LambsEye

Hey Ladies,

Men have this idea that women are crazy. And to be honest, I've come to realise we are.

My most recent "I'm a little mental" moment:

A boy, who is TOTALLY my type, with whom I've a lot of fun, mutual friends etc, told me straight up he liked me and asked me on a date.

Now, after MONTHS of bemoaning the fact that men play games and I wish a guy would be honest with me, I turned him down. I was instantly turned off when he told me he liked me!

So! Here's your chance to anonymously share those moment when you know you're being insane and crazy and the only reason you can think of is: "I'm a girl!"

Note: This is in the spirit of fun. Anyone looking to take offence or whatever, take a jump.

I'm not so sure! I have conversations with my lady mates all the time:

"....and the thing was, I didn't even CARE he didn't remember the date, I just wanted to bitch at him." etc.

My ex girlfriend was standing in a large queue in Dunnes Patrick St a few years back and she was getting very frustrated and angry with waiting and as she glanced around she spotted 3/4 Dunnes Managers (all men) and they were all chat and laughing at something between themselves. Well that lit the fuse, she stomped over to them with her shopping basket and threw it and the groceries on the floor and screamed " Im going shopping in Super Valu, they treat their customers better" and walked out the door. The managers were stunned...

When I see a thread beginning with "Hey whores", I instantly think "bloke started this thread".
I then read on and can't help but wonder would this thread not be more suited in "After Hours".

And I'm a fella!

A friend of mine stopped her car in the middle of traffic once, got out, knocked on the person behind her's window, and shouted: "You are the rudest person I have ever met in my LIFE" into the car. Because the person behind her had been driving too close.

Hondasm, this thread is supposed to be light-hearted.

I would not presume to know anything about you to claim you are a whore. It was meant as a term of affection.

Y'know, subverting an insult to take away it's social ideological power? Just as gay people adopted "queer?" Same thing.

And you would be completely remiss to say that sometimes, as women, we act a little crazy. OR are you a sort to completely disagree with feminine representations in things like "Bridget Jones Diary," which portray women acting a little silly as a way to poke light-hearted fun at ourselves?

Jaxxy

This was in tLL!? Know your audience OP!

I once went completely ape**** at a bloke outside a club because he kept sauntering by, eying up one of my crying girlfriends who was having "a bad night" and drunkenly bemoaning something about some random guy she barely knew who didn't want her. I called the circling bloke the scum of the Earth, preying on upset, vulnerable girls at the end of the night just to get the easy ride, then I threw my half-eaten quarter pounder with cheese at him. Turns out he was her brother.

I am so confused!

Definitely a thread for After Hours :pac:

In all the mad crazy stuff I've done I don't think I have ever justified it with the fact that I am a girl. Anybody can do crazy stuff I don't think it's down to your gender... Lads are just as crazy as us :rolleyes:

I know men can be just as crazy as girls. And it's not justifiable in either respect. BUT you have to admit that the stuff men do that's mad, and the stuff girls do that's mad are totally different.

I want to hear from other girls like me (see original post,) who do things that are completely ridiculous that you'd share with your girlfriends.

I have heard about this many times from girl mates of mine.

Some girls like a bloke to take charge instead of asking.

There are ways of starting threads like that without automatically irritating your target audience.

If you had started with - Wow, sometimes I do really irrational things! Does anyone else have crazy stories? - rather than throwing around Whores and Girls are Silly stuff - you probably would have had a better response.

xoxyx

You. are. Superfish. !!!

To the Conspiracy Forum!!

I'd say "hi whore!" to my best mate, but not a bunch of strangers online! Kinda pissed me off when i saw it first... does that make me a crazy lady?

This isn't so much light-hearted crazy behaviour as just scary nut-job behaviour: I remember a woman parked outside Argos on Grand Parade in Cork - firstly, there is no parking area outside Argos, only a narrow, pedestrian priority "strip" - AND it's one-way but her car had come from the wrong direction, and when some guy politely told her she needed to move as she was obstructing a roadway, she screamed abuse at him and threatened to assault him.

nosey rosie

Lambseye, you're all empty rhetoric and no logic. There are plenty of ways to be self effacing and poke fun at yourself as a female. You're not doing that. I reckon from the way you conduct yourself on this site, that you're a sad bloke, not yet out of his teens, with a seriously miysogynistic attitude.

If you ARE a woman, you need to get therapy.

Original post has been modified.

Whores, sluts, biiiitches etc. It's refreshing to see that even in our enlightened times some words are SO taboo that people will insist on taking offence to them even when offence is not intended.

I also find it amusing that women will feel free to call other women sluts or biiitches or anything else but when you try and use those same words in a joking context you're brand with low self esteem etc.

Well you don't really tell a girl you like her until you know she likes you too and you already behave like you're in a relationship.

I am a woman. A mid 20's woman. Please, enlighten me as to how you think I need therapy. Genuinely curious.

Thats impossible because you annoyed and irrated all the women at the start.

you should have chosen your words a bit better.

Term of affection is not been called a whore.

Hah! You're probably right Starla. I also greet my mates in this manner (and much worse.)

Because you greet your mates in the same way I hope you understand that there was no offence meant in this greeting.

Some words will always offend. Try using the 'N' bomb to an audience of people of colour and see how much of laugh it gets.

I also find it amusing that women will feel free to call other women sluts or biiitches or anything else but when you try and use those same words in a joking context you're brand with low self esteem etc.

I don't, and no one I know does to me. Thats probably because I'm 25, not 15.

Dudess

In fairness, I thought it was obvious the OP was messing with the "whores" intro - it just looked like "Hey bitches" and it's not as if she said "You're all a bunch of whores", but jeez... in the Ladies' Lounge... :eek::pac:

If a man does something like this he'd be considered a dick, rightly. But women can get away with this ****.

How is it misogynistic or indicative of a need for therapy? I wouldn't use it myself, but it was used in an ironic way.
