SL : Sucky lady
AM: Annoying man
Me: Not as self controlled as I should be.
On the way to work this morning I stopped off at a place where there is a taxi rank and a group of us usually congregate at the coffee shop. There are quite a few people in the group and we may not run into each other for days. Some of us get on with each other, some not so well. AM constantly either flirts or puts down women. and I usually avoid him or hang at the other end of the group.
SL pulls into the taxi rank and refuses to move when Taxi Driver 1 asks her two. Taxi driver 2 pulls in behind and trys to explain why she needs to move. (It does block the area if there are too many taxis and cause a problem. Plus the taxi drivers pay money to use this rank so not being able to get there is a problem). SL claims she'll only be there a minute and she's disabled so leave her alone.
Taxi Driver 1 is having a normal conversation with us about it about 10ft away at the coffee shop point.
AM walks up and starts a loud, shouty rant standing with us away from the rank and the car about SL and throws in a few insults for good measure. He's getting louder and its either to incite us lot to make fun/grumpy at her or for her to overhear especially once he starts on the disabled aspect.
Me: I snap : Ok, give it a rest!
AM: What, she's in the wrong, thats the problem with women...
Me: oh, great, now you've managed to make it a sexist thing too. Well done! (sarcasm)
AM: You've got an attitude problem lady.
Me: Um-hmm, and I'd forgotten you could be such a jerk. (heres the sucky, shouldn't have done that even though I still feel it was true - don't add fuel to the fire!)
AM: *stares in amazement at me*
AM: Don't call me a jerk!
Me: Try not being one then.
AM: *splutters/can't think of anything to say* *CBF*
By the time this has finished SL has left and picked up the person she was waiting for.
AM: Turns back and still trys to carry on stirring.
Totally annoyed at myself that he got me to bite. I did try to apologise to Taxi Driver 1 but I wasn't going to apologise to AM.
