Eating alone

Y

The short one!

Yerp. Never underestimate small women

Edit: Goddam it’s 3.20am I should be asleep! Goodnight!

Yeah, the smaller they are - the more dangerous they are

We don’t get a lot of choice, animal dominance is still an obvious factor in our not very civilised world.
On more than one occasion someone’s been giving me grief about something when Mr SSOAP has wandered up and they immediately change their tune.

Just as an example on one occasion I was crossing a car park. I had right of way because I’d already started crossing before a fast moving car turn into the road. He started shouting and gesticulating at me. So I shouted back that I had already started crossing and he should read the Highway Code.
He went bananas, he wound down the window got very loud and started swearing at me. He took his seatbelt off and was about to get out but he didn’t realise my husband and two sons were a quite a few steps behind me (I’d hurried ahead because it was cold). The very moment he caught sight of them and made the connection his face dropped, he immediately shut up and drove off.

I did a long stint on a general surgical ward. The crazed hallucinating detoxing alcoholics would remove their drips and try to leave to find booze the second the anaesthetic wore off. So you needed to do your absolute best to make them stay for their own safety. Well who was it they always went for? Always the smallest one, usually me so yer I guess if you’re particularly small you have to step up a few notches passed normal on the fearsome front.

I think occasionally we’re just an easy target for whatever bee someone’s got in their bonnet (like the car park bloke), so sometimes you have to put on some metaphorical armour and put your dukes up!

Anyway doing a fast swerve back on topic I know women who won’t drive by themselves anywhere (or drive at all) and certainly wouldn’t feel ok eating out alone, I find that a bit sad.

Funny how that happens ...

Big and tough until confronted - I know the type all too well. I'm not exactly big and had some guy have a go at me. I just smiled shook my head and told him to ask himself one question - "why is this little guy (ompared to him) standing his ground and laughing at me - what does he know that I don't?"

He just looked at me as I took a step toward him and he turned and left.

At least that is what some poeple think anyway ...

That is sad but when I look around - I cant say that I blame women who feel that way
