    So today I was doing a bit of shopping in my local supermarket.
    I was on my way back to return the trolley when this pregnant woman asks me to help her carry her shopping bags.

    She seemed to just assume because I was a man I would feel obligated to help her, talk about entitled.

    When I refused she then had the cheek to call me 'rude' and a 'pig'.

    I am very upset over the whole experience.If gender roles were reversed no doubt this would be seen as a major incident.

    Thoughts?

    Did she ask politely? Was she sound looking? I would mostly assume that if anyone asked for help, that they were in genuine need of it. And id be happy to help. Your gender doesn't really come into it.

    (that said I was robbed last week while encumbered with luggage so you do have to keep your wits about you too- sometimes these things are a tactic)

    She said please but that not the point.
    I am heavily muscled and she clearly noticed this, perhaps even undressing me with her eyes.She knew I would be able to carry them and just assumed I would be obligated to do so.
