I find that men are so much more polite than women when it comes to everyday matters.
I was walking out of the bank on merrion row today and had pushed the door open, a woman in her late 30s was coming in, i stepped back holding the door open and she walked past without even looking at me. It was like i didnt exist, some invisible person opened the door for her. A man followed her in and nodded thanks to me. Then just as I was about to walk out, another woman inside the bank walked out past me while I am still holding the door open. She didnt acknowledge me either. I have never been in a situation going through a door where a man hasnt stood back for me and I always say thank you.
Another incident recently I was on the airport shuttle bus coming from the long term parking. The bus was packed and myself and my other half had a seat near the door and a family got on with loads of bags and 3 small kids. THe father was holding one kid and struggling with the pram, the woman lifted the suitcases on and had the other two kids by the hand. Myself and bf got up and said "Would you like to sit down". The woman, without even looking at us said "Yes I would actually" in a tone that suggested it was her right to have a seat. The husband gave us a sheepish glance but neither of them said thank you. We were really pissed off. I felt like shouting at her "have you no manners!"
I have to say I am constantly amazed at how rude other women are. Is it because I am a woman? Are women in general rude to men?
