    I filled up with fuel and went in the shop to pay, hoping I wouldn't see him again.
    Then I went to the toilet, and as I stood at the urinal my legs started shaking uncontrollably.
    So next time just don't get involved with these idiots.


    Thanks for posting that Redux, it shows the reality of life today, the fact that you were willing to try to find out what the problem was, and the fact that none of the other "sheep" were willing to offer you assistance.
    Your reaction to this may seem funny to some folks, but it is entirely natural if you are normally a passive person - which I am as well. It is only afterwards that you think what could have been.
    Your last comment is actually very sobering, because I would definitely think twice before saying or doing anything again.

    I cannot remember being assaulted - EVER - by a female before, so it has NEVER been necessary.

    You seem to be under the impression that I am some kind of "woman hater", when in fact the opposite is true.


    Anyway, I think that you are probably just a troll who doesn't think things over well.


    If I'm a troll for disagreeing with your cowardly actions then so be it.

    A smack in the mouth knows no gender. Is it deserved. Yes or no?

    No, but the idiot who hits a woman does.

    The op admits speaking in haste and understands how it made him look. He isn't promoting or supporting violence against women.

    I've never hit ANYONE smaller or weaker than myself be they male or female. Never landed the first blow in my life but never accepted the first blow without response either. Never actually hit a woman to be honest but I've never been in a position where I'd need to. Women see me and generally either want to mother me or have my children. If the woman was big enough and aggressive enough then it comes down to principles. I have few principles these days.

    Everybody seems hung-up about the 'male-female' thing?

    In pretty much every environment we move in, we are not allowed to discriminate.

    The fact that such discrimination is deeply embedded in our psyches says a lot about our strengths and frailties.

    Threatening anybody with 'physical violence' is a pretty damning indictment of our own failures and inabilities.

    And theirs.

    Can't believe how many on here are advocating actual physical violence or criminal damage, whilst trying to maintain the moral high ground over someone who was verbally rude. :huh:

    Gaining the 'moral high ground' is one thing.......doing something that makes one 'feel better' after being aggrieved is something else entirely.


    These forums are full of those who, when aggrieved, find relief in 'venting their spleens'...

    Or, are we no longer allowed such luxuries?
