rude men at servos  sorry for all the men that are here and reading 

i was at the servo this afternoon filling the car as you do i had paid and the man in front of me was in line to pay after me i had gotton back in car and waiting for him to get back in and drive away but this didn't happen instead he found someone to talk to and there he stood for a few min so i just waited to see what he would do . well he just stood there so i had to reverse out of the spot and go round as i drove past i said "thankyou for moving your car" and all i got from him and his male friend "learn how to drive"

Sort of saw something like this the other day. A lady in front of me had just finished filling up and moved forward to the next bowser so that I could get in. Thanks ma'am. Then she got the young 'un out to take him in while she paid. We ended up paying at about the same time (new console operator) and got back to the cars at the same time. I hopped in and she was putting the young 'un in the car. Then some hero walked up to this shortish woman in her forties and started giving her a mouthful for not moving up! He was leaning in towards her and yelling when I got out of my car to back her up. As soon as he realised he would have to pick on someone his own size he was back in his car and away.
Everyone has a bad day but for God's sake. It scares me that someone probably raised this "man" with the best of intentions. He was just a kid at some time, just like Cody. But Cody has better manners.

petrol station manners are my pet hate! and it doesnt have to be men everyone does it, like for instance those who wont drive to the front bowser so you have to either wait or reverse in (often near impossible!) or the ones who park to far out from the bowser so even if you finish first there is no way around them, man dont get me started! i hate it so much i let my car get to nearly empty regularly or hope that my partner notices it needs fuel when he drives just so i dont have to fight the petrol station war!

I work for my parents in customer service and while men can and are usually really rude and pushy, I have seen some women who put them to shame!!!!!! I have actaully seem women get into full blown arguments over who was next in line and then turn around and start hurling abuse at me for asking the simple question "who was next?". Guess I better get some eyes in the back of my head before someone get's seriously hurt lol!!!

Hi guys, well i actually work in a servo and can honestly say that this happens all the time. And to be fair its not always men that are like this. But yes it is extremely rude of him. You should have answered with, how can anyone learn how to drive with inconsiderate ppl like you blocking everyone off. They usually don't have a come back for that.

I was waiting at a coffee shop, and it's happened a few times in different places, and had been there for a few minutes when this guy came and stood next to me.  The girl walked over, saw me, then the man stood next to me and she served him and ignored me! So I told asked her if I forgot to take off my invisibility cape cause i've been waiting a while and don't seem to be noticeable.  It's happened at places like Donut King and those places too where there aren't any real lines, you just stand at the counter.  If there is a guy there he will be served first every time.  Mostly they assume we are together, which still doesn't have any affect on the situation as the female could be the one paying - that happens!

Hello.....lm glad to hear that it not just me, l suppose there are many of us females that still get looked at as second class people from some males > when will they learn we have rights and are people too.Instead with me they like to push in front of you, with a trolley full of food and 4 kids screaming can we have that mum. l have found a few that will just push past me at the register and take my spot....like lm standing there for no reason. But l speak my mind at them....like "excuse me but l am waiting or what you doing lm next". Sometimes l have even sweared if l am having a bad day. But l can say there are still gentlemen out there that will say you go  first either they are feeling sorry for me coz the boys are at it again or they where brought up to respect us as humans and not a second class person. l hope l dont sund rude in say this but there are alot still out there that just dont care. Girl...you should have blown your horn at him, l know it was very rude but he had not right to have his little meeting there.
