Bumptious Women in bars...
I was at a bar/club once. Usually by about 11:00 PM all the sitting/standing spots at the bar are taken.
This one gal literally shoved me aside so she could order a drink.
I said, "It really is OK to say excuse me." Yup, that's it. I didn't call her any names, cuss or anything. Simply reminded her that just because it's a bar and just because she's a woman, she needn't forget simple manners. Heck, even tapping someone on the shoulder and pointing to the bar is more polite than shoving them aside like they're a side of beef or a piece of furniture that's in the way.
Well, she starts yipping at me, cursing at me and all, and then the bartender starts glaring at me and saying, "why are you starting in with her? She's a woman!" I had nothing to say to such stupidity, so I walked away...
