Things that annoy you...

Yes! especially the loss of chivalry(think this is the word?) thanks to hardcore feminists. For example if I've got heavy luggage and a man offers too lift it into or out of the taxi for me, I'm not going to say no! but now some men don't do things like this anymore because they think they are going to get their head bitten off for asking.

I for one don't mind men asking if I want help doing something, or hold the door open for me, or saying I'm looking nice today and so on...


Another thing for me that annoys me, men who are cowards. For example, if I'm walking along with a man and a criminal comes up to try and mug us - I want a man who will either be able to protect me and himself from these people OR at least TRY, if you try but still get beaten up you are still amazing in my eyes, at least you were not a coward.


That's just me... oh and I will help by the way, will not just stand there while it's happening...

^ Don't know about America, but here in the UK you can press certain buttons/sequences to get past the stupid machines and through to a human. There was a whole list in the newspapers a month or so ago for lots of companies and the buttons you can press to get through quicker for each one.

Or try leaving it if it's a free number, don't do anything it says and stay silent and sometimes that can work because nothing is happening it auto switches to a human. I've tried that a few times and it's worked.

Firstly, I didn't even know you were a Woman and I apologize for not knowing that and secondly - When I was a child and into my teenage years, it was drummed into me! You always stand up for an elderly or a pregnant Woman on busses, train, ferries and so forth.

Many teenagers and adults today, don't care in the least. I personally don't understand that. I'm no angel, but that's commonsense in that regard.

I've found the "no 0 option" too, bot if you pick one of the others available, the 0 opeion eventually becomes available - at least when I've encountered it (usually banks).

I hear you. This transfer of services to online is convenient - until you can't do it online and need a person's help and can't get it. Sometimes they won't give it to me just because I wasn't there when my wife bought something. I know everything about her and if I were a woman - any woman - who had the same info and said I was my wife, they'd give it to me. This doesn't really make me feel my info is secure.

Mosquitoes. The world's vilest creatures.

One of them for sure, but I've found nothing worse than the yellow fly. I had a bite on the back of my leg and it swelled up so that I could hardly walk. Also the bitten area was hard as a rock and hot. And it itches like crazy for days.

Unlucky for me, I have a ton of them in my yard.

haha you dont have to apologise, but thanks.

I grew up going on days out with my grandma, and she drilled it into me, and like i say, i have no issue giving my seat up for these people, I just hate it when they think it is a god given right for me to HAVE to stand up. Im doing it cause im a decent person not for any other reason

But my pet hate, i dont care where that human is from, but be fluent in English if im asking for help so they can understand me and i can understand the reply im being given.

Something like this helps -
