At what point are you not a gent?

I still hold doors open for women, but it really annoys me when you don't even get a thankyou or an acknowledgement for doing so. Most women do have the manners to do so, but its the odd few who ruin it for woman kind.

You hold doors open for women?

I don't judge whether a door needs to be held open for someone on their sex :confused:
 
You should have told her to just shut up, withdraw her husbands money, get back into her husbands car, drive back to her house that her husband has paid for and get the tea on.. Women... :rolleyes:

:D

I agree. I hold doors open to anyone that is in the close vicinity, its called courtesy. That said i did it to a woman in LA and nothing, she just barged through and no thank you or anything. Ignorant Californian...
 
Depends how much of a hottie she was ;)

If she was a munter I'd have said something like "yeh, equality ain't all it's cracked up to be is it?" :D
 
You should have serenaded her (Whilst pointing at her):

"Well, she's all you'd ever want
She's the kind I like to flaunt and take to dinner
But she always knows her place
She's got style, she's got grace--she's a winner
She's a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, she's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady
And the lady is mine"

She expected to get to the ATM first because she has an axe wound in her pants.

She'd also expect to go through doors first, but would also want to be paid the same as her male colleagues and be allowed to vote.

Can't have everything darling :)

Love this,

And you were definitely not in the wrong :o

Not quite the same thing, but this reminds me of an incident when I was getting on a cross-country train a few weeks ago. Very busy, lots of people dotted on the platform and the train pulls up with me just happening to be right in front of the door. I stand to one side to let people off (and in the mean-time, lots of people have gathered around the door on either side). When everyone's gotten off I proceed to step onto train.

Until...

Some oldish guy grabs me by the shoulder and forcibly pulls me back off the step saying "You have absolutely no manners", before ushering his wife on first. Then he steps on, and then his friend barges past me with an arm across my chest looking at me and shaking his head muttering something about 'foreign students'.

I felt really bad and apologised to them. But after sitting down and looking back...They had been sitting at the platform while I was standing up when the train pulled in. I was 'first' in line as the door stopped in front of me. I moved aside to let people off, after which these three people had stood up and walked straight to the door. To be honest, I barely even registered their presence beside me.

So they were in their 60s, and one of them was a lady, but I ended up thinking that they were just posh, rude and entitled. The 'foreign student' quip didn't help either.

Sounds like a stupid snobby slightly racist ****.

The fact he then went after his wife means he was simply using his wife as a "free pass to not have to wait in line".

This is common amongst many old people.

If it was me I'd have kicked off at the old retard for two things,

1. Touching me.
2. Thinking his scrappy old mare is more important than me.

You are too polite.
 
The simplest solution would be to get a job at the bank or wherever the cash machine is, work hard and get promoted to a position of trust, then arrange some fictitious building works that you can pretend to supervise out of hours, and under that pretext remove the innards of the cash machine so you can secrete yourself inside.
Obviously you will have booked the following day off work, and arranged this all to coincide with the lady's usual pattern of visits to the cash machine. Therefore the next day when the lady comes to the cash machine you can spring out at her unexpectedly and make some pithy remark of your choosing, which will, like, totally surprise her and be a fitting revenge for the turmoil she put you in by the sound of it.
 
Join the queue love, I was here first.
Then kick her in face.

I probably wouldn't let her in though, unless she had a fine behind to check out, in which case, yes.

I can be a gentleman... Sometimes.
 
^^ LOL @ mark. Been taking lessons on how to formulate plans from Dick Dastardly? You missed out the part where you lay out an acme hole that she can fall down.

you should have done something complicated on the cash machine like print a statement, top up a phone etc. and repeatedly withdraw £10 notes in separate transactions just to mug her off more

Should have put the ATM into reset mode by pressing all 4 outer edge buttons at once when your about to finish.

I hate people like what the op describes and its not just women who are like it. I hate queuing because I'm generally impatient and I have german DNA, so I genetically don't know what a queue is :D

However, that being said I do still have respect for strangers. The last time I wasn't a gent was last week when walking back from the shops and the entire path was being taken up by 2 chav mums pushing prams. I said "excuse me" and notioned to walk past and they both just looked me up and down and came out with "excuse yourself we are talking" and tutted at me.

That didn't go down well...

Needless to say, everyone in the street was staring at me and 2 people even clapped at me telling these two chav women where to go :cool:
 
You done nothing wrong dude. Bit different if you both get to the cash machine at exactly the same time, but that's not the case here. Clearly just a hag with a problem she needs to vent about.

Just been to the cash machine
Be machine is across the road from my parked car and it's a busy raid I have to cross.
There is a lady getting out of her car to go to the cash machine too but I'm ready to cross and queue behind a polish couple who are withdrawing from the machine.
This lady then manages to cross the road and stand away from the queue and is almost as if she is next inline, the polish couple go and I step to cash machine, this lady then tuts and says there's nothing like a gent is there, to which I apologise !!! Why tho I thought right after I said it,
She wasn't in the queue and was about 5-10 seconds behind me crossing the road. She really made me question what I did, but in my eyes I've done nothing in gent like.
Was I right in stepping up before her do you think or should I have let her go before me?

Wh-Wha-What... is this, I don't even? Are you aware of begin-middle-end when telling a story?

tell her that women fought for their rights to stop gentlemen letting them go first - and to enjoy her wait!

There's an obvious difference between ignorant spelling mistakes and getting auto-corrected. I imagine this is the latter, hence the reason nobody, apart from you, is criticising the spelling.
