Things That Only Women Seem to Do

    Things that only women do. Lots of positive things I'm sure.

    But observing a couple of idiosyncratic habits:

    1) At the till, emptying out their purses and spreading loose change on the counter top for the cashier to count.

    2) Folding their arms when chatting at the door step.

    What others have you noticed?

    Working in retail, I can tell you it's the aul men and the really young boys (like 10-11) who do this. Rarely the ladies :P

    I don't chat on doorsteps and I can count my own money, thanks!

    Men usually don't carry purses, but when working in a supermarket, I had plenty of men take cash from their pockets and hold out their sweaty hands to pick the coins out to pay for their shopping.

    Oh dear God, this drives me up the wall. And I'm usually not easily angered but it should take 5-10 minutes to use an ATM at most.

    Men and women both guilty of being gobsh1tes in this one.

    Order 2 drinks in a busy bar then ask the barman "how much does that come to?" before handing him a €50 note.

    Used to drive me nuts when I worked in the pub game.

    One minute at the most!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Mr Benevolent


    Women get to the till, are told the price and look oddly at the cashier, as if to say 'You mean I have to PAY for this?'

    What? It's not a video game!

    If you're still at the ATM after two minutes you're taking the piss!

    Great, so you can name a few. Generalising being the operative word in my post. Because that's what happens in these threads, mostly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,094 ✭✭✭wretcheddomain


    Flapping their wings erratically as they power walk around towns under the mass delusion that they'll shift the pounds and then return home to tuck into a plate of hob nobs while watching a rom-com.

    Nah to be fair, ATM's can be a load of sh1t. Some are fast and it should take 2 minutes max to take out money. Some are incredibly slow to load so there's not much you can do about that. Also, when you go to take out a €20 and there's only €50s left, that slows the process as well (very annoying when this happens). So pretending all scenarios go wrong, it could take around 5 minutes. I'm convinced people don't know how much they want to take out and are pondering which button to press in the meantime. :rolleyes:

    Or are a woman.....it's even more annoying when they take the best part of ten minutes, you see them take out the card and the money and think they are going to step away, until they pull out a new card and use the machine again, making the exact same mistakes.

    Well with the men .

    1) At the till The man would stand there like a dummy while his wife/gf is struggle to lift heavy stuff off the counter or packing by herself and he be messing with his phone etc

    2) The guy is just as guilty when it comes to alot of change for the cashier to count.

    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    I thought I was alone in this! My wife drives me mad with this sort of thing-

    *wife spots an empty seat, runs for cushion quick to fill the gap as I'm just about to sit down and pushes me off the couch*


    WHY?? :(

    I suppose the men that do this must have a valid excuse though. Sure don't get mad at them like.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 499 ✭✭greenflash


    Speed up while you're overtaking them on a motorway. I once had some old wan go from 110 to 150kph while I was driving along beside her during overtaking. She pretended she was unaware of what was going on until she suddenly dropped back down to 110 ish. That was an extreme example but it happens regularly and the other driver is invariably female.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,207 ✭✭✭jaffacakesyum

    I think the women on AH are far too intelligent and yknow not sexist, to do that. Although I could be proven wrong :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 88 ✭✭EMTFlynn


    Form a group in the middle of tesco with their trolly, chat and block the rest of us hard working men who just want some burger buns and horse meat to go with it :D

    They tend to turn their back to you when they are dressing/undressing.

    Never, ever allow you to exit from a side road on to a main road ahead of them.
