Zero Situational Awareness

People who seem to feel they can't go to a free card only till unless they hear the magic words from the attendant "anyone paying by card" . Was recently in a queue when the magic words were spoken and a woman at the back of the queue went forward and said " I am" before anyone else had a chance.

At a busy self service area in Tesco recently a woman wanders up, planks her basket down and immediately strikes up a conversation with another woman oblivious to the growing queue until the attendant had to suggest it was time to scan.

Many of the issues discussed here regarding space, lack of common sense, inefficiency are directed at women being guilty of this.

That trend continues when it comes to driving a car, especially when edging up towards a roundabout and being ready to go when there's a gap, most often women cannot judge this time correctly, they start from too far back, when there's a gap, instead of joining the roundabout, they nudge up to where they should of been in the first place.

When it comes to overtaking, driving in the fast lane, parking, reversing, anything to do with space, more often than not it's women with really poor judgement and execution. It's like when they are in a vehicle they don't give a fcuk about anyone else other than themselves.

as we say, your entitled to your opinion, but that doesnt mean you re right, nor me for that matter!

again, you re sprouting pretty standard misogynistic view points, i.e. attempting to continually undermine, degrade, shame, ridicule female sentiments and viewpoints, and continually trying to inflate the male ego in the process, i..e you actually feel threatened by females, by any chance did you have a difficult childhood with a female primary care giver, i.e. your mother?

and by whos rules dont my opinions cut it, yours?

I don't agree with you that is it. If you are female or pro-female views doesn't make a difference. By a standard metric I stated , as other have, experience and observation and nothing more. You on the other hand spouted theory of why certain things happen but neither confirmed or denied my experience happened to you. Now you can go back and read what I said and actually say what was actually misogynistic because you haven't stated it yet and just made a thinly veiled insult.

By no rules did I say your opinion didn't matter I said your argument doesn't cut it they same as this comment isn't an argument or proving a point just name calling with no foundational argument.

If I said "women tend to wear high heels and not men" is that misogynistic? Do you think it would be appropriate for me to suggest you have daddy issues because you are obviously anti men?

Overall you have shown poor debating skills and seem to be showing predetermined views without sufficient details.

I never said only women are the problem. I didn't say men don't wear high heels either

You don't know what I experienced or if it is a bias memory.

I on the other hand have pointed out where you have misunderstood or misrepresented what I said.

What you really should have done is apologised for getting what I said wrong when I pointed it out rather than double down on your unfounded claims and insults. Of course you are probably going to say I am mansplaining but to be clear I am stating my opinion/experience and clarifying because you keep getting what I say wrong.

Funny you should say this...

Was in Dunnes in Rathmines earlier and an older woman (early 60's) was in front of me. She waited until the girl had scanned her first 8 or 10 items and then says "I'd like a bag". After more items came through she then says "actually I'll take another bag".

When the girl had finished scanning she was still packing (that's cool as she had a good few items). Then when she finished she asked the amount again. Then the rooting inside the handbag for the phone. Then the inevitable "I can't find the app". Eventually she located the app and scanned her dunnes card. Puts the phone down to look for her purse then says "actually I have a voucher". Back to the phone to find the voucher.

Girls then says "card or cash"?

"Ehmm...card please". Back to the phone where she couldn't find her apple wallet on it.

The queue beside me was on the 4th person when I eventually got served. No concern or concept of holding others up.

None.

You dont have to be a genius to see what you're actually saying whatever way you try skirt around it. Case in point, you're ending this by jumping to assumptions about what i might say.
