Ok here goes this just happened to me!

there digging up the roads outside my house as they always do! I drove home on my lunch break and parked outside my house, saw a man coming over to my car to ask me to move so i started my car up again to move on somewhere else, then he starts shouting at me really bad he came flying up to my car all gesturing and abusive, and waving his arm being really rude!!

Of course i stood my ground and asled him why he was shouting at me but he then went on hollering abuse at me and gesturing and really being rude! I couldnt believe it!! Then with a final gesture he stormed off!!! What was his problem how acceptable is it for a man to shout at a strange women and be aggresive with her? I mean i thought that men shouldnt shout at strange wome ( wives yes lol!!)! Am i wrong in my thinking! Am i old fashioned?

In every society there are clowns, some are known as politicians, some wear a uniform, some are just bubble heads.

Next time you are the states buy a few cans of MACE, it works wonders on loud mouths and bigots. They don't come back for a second spraying.

Those tv programmes sound like the sort of stuff we had here in the uk during the 70s.

We've moved on from that now.

We watch American programmes now were they just shoot each other instead.

Thank god I quit watching those shows or movies 7 years back because I was not interested in any from the beginning :)

Push her to the wall trying to crack it, throw her on the ground to bring water out, smack her because his hands are itchy ... I have no idea from where do they bring this stuff? Same places, same old faces .. it would never change ....

Charmed, it's acceptable in my culture to shout at everyone. Especially small children. :P

Anyway, have you ever noticed the trailers for Arabic television shows on Showtime, in every single one of them a woman gets smacked or shoted at or pushed or thrown to the floor, and apprentely these are the comedies. So I'm not sure, but I think there might be something slightly acceptable about it.

I Feel so sorry about this man behavior, its bad thing and we all totally don't accept this, its wrong and is not accepted in our culture in our relegion (Islam) . u have to understand somthing core that we take our culture from ours islam . i mean the culture must not object to our islam. So our islam asks us to respect all women either muslim or not muslim. Islam ask us to RESPECT ALL PEOPLE..and our prophet mohammad extremly recommended before his death to respect women and ask us to be sooo kind and nice and soft with women espacially and with all in general.. NO shout NO Beat... No bad things. and from our prphet life he had great storties how he was dealing with his wives and women..

There is an important question here... Are all muslims good mulsims ???? the answer is definitly NO AND NO AND NO ...

I hope miss charmed u understand the point very well

GOOD LUCK .. :)

If you were a male, he wouldn't have shouted at you like that. I have had the same experience in the past and when my husband rocks up they literally run for their life!

Talking of shouting: Here's a BBC journalist losing the plot and shouting at a scientologist:

&mode=related&search=

In John Sweeney's defence though, he was subject to a lot, and I mean *a lot* of provocation in the run up to that -- he was followed in unmarked cars, that chap he was shouting at had previously turned up to an interview the journalist was doing with someone else, uninvited, and interrupted the interview (the journalist had also been followed to the interview location). The chap he shouted at had turned up to his hotel at midnight, again uninvited, and without being informed which hotel they were staying at, so the chap had used whatever methods to hunt down the journalist and find out his hotel before turning up uninvited at midnight. And so on. And so on.

This an issue of how working 8 to 10 hours in the 45 C heat can affect your judgment. It is better not to reason with a construction worker, whose only empowerment is to block roads without warning, have people move their cars etc.

Better to stay out of their way, ignore the whole thing and carry on with life.

You are to nice to take that kind of verbal pounding. I will not care who is? and what he is? but if you shout at me and disrespect me; Either you are going to get a "F*ck You" or a "F$ck off" that is just me. Sorry for that charmed...

If they shout at you shout back so they don't do it again! who is he to treat you like that? if you see him again make sure he gets the picture you hate him and if he try to do it again don't hesitate to shout back at him! you'll get other peoples attention and he will not do it again.

and I have no idea why in hell was he angry? grumbling? If he got something to be angry with then he should be angry at himself. The good guy is not the strong one who beats people, the good guy is the one who can control himself when he got angry. It is a simple test that a lot failed everyday, if you are angry look for the source of the problem, but don't shout at the wrong person .....

One Indian employee shouted at me, while I was talking with someone over the phone, at one corner. I went to the Customer Service, talked to the Manager, filed a complaint. He is a driver.

The Manager and I were looking for him inside the store, but he managed to "escape" from my wrath.

People should not shout at anyone regardless of their gender, and people definitely shouldn’t shout at their wives!!!!!!! But anyway as someone said before in this tread there are idiots in every culture!! Just a tip for you next time when he shouts at you just pick up your phone and dial police and he will shit in his pants!!! (Even if you are just pretending)

Take care

Live to Ride,and Ride to Live.

Wow!The nerves of that man! Maybe he was having a really bad day with his wife and decided to take it out on all women and u just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time lol.

Ofcourse ur not wrong in ur thinking, no man should shout at a woman no matter what (and that's in a perfect world ofcourse lol). Some men are just rude and will shout at anyone, maybe more at women than other men cause they feel all macho and testosterone driven.

Who knows, charmed. Maybe he was having a bad day to start off with. Maybe his wife gave him the bad start to the day and he's too chicken to shout at her so you're an easy target.

Maybe you are temptation and he's the kind who wants to fight temptation so he had a go at you.

Lots of maybes.
