gnasher16 30,210 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Not really barricading her in a corner was he? Perhaps he was footing a ladder or stood at the bottom of scaffold whilst this woman passed and he said "morning love" to a girl passing Not exactly crime of the century was it? No its not crime of the century,and maybe he was footing a ladder.........but would he of said/done the same at a bloke passing ? Im not into all the feminism caper but i detest all this " lad humour " and " im a geezer because i drink beer and whistle at women " just as much. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lets be sensible ......if i called out " Hello " to someone.....depending on the tone i took it could either be taken as a pleasant " awww he,s a nice man " .....or in a different tone it could be taken as " shit im bang in trouble here " The type of " hello love " normally associated with a treacle walking past builders is not normally the " awww he,s a nice man " type are they.....or will i get the stereotype police on me now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fox digger 1,086 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 If the jumped up little shit thats 18 or 19 and on the buildings a wet week was walking down the road holding hands with his "bird" and a lad came out of a site and went into his lady friends face and said "mornin love" i wonder how he'd react..... Probably not as cocky when he is off his own patch with an audience but inside im sure he wouldn't be impressed.... Class clown springs to mind!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Some women are just as bad these days when they walk past a scaffold full of builders.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dare 1,103 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Saying morning love to me is just a harmless greeting. Itll be just the same as saying morning if the word love wasnt on the end. Ive used the word love without it being anything sexual, said it to quite old women. I will say though i would hate to be a woman. Have seen and had a word with some men who behave like c**ts. Saw a poor girl get asked for her number, she ignored him only to get called an ugly slag :/. If shes an ugly slag why the f**k do you want her number. I guess some people really are thick. Remember my ex called me to get to the bus stop as shed gotten off and some bloke was following her. Get there and i knew the bloke. Told him i didnt know if i should take it as a compliment his trying to chat her up or if i should be offended at the fact he thinks she looks as if shed be interested in an african. Mumbled something back but he knew better than to call me a racist, wasnt that. Anyway cant loose face infront of a woman can ya so punched him. He done f**k all just looked up and told me to watch what happens lol f**k all did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 It's not the fact that the lad was on the pavement and said hello love ... It's the accumulation of weeks of whistling cat calling and God knows what else and then he gets in her face as obviously the girl wasn't responding to the aggro they were dishing out .... I treat women like I would like my wife treated and young girls like I would like my daughters to be treated ......... 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,210 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 For me its more about " time and a place for everything ".......trying it on with a bird on a night out or in a pub etc no problem.....trying it on with a bird going about her business at home or work is not on for 101 reasons so why risk offending her................unless shes already given you a flash of course 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Qbgrey 4,097 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I tell my blokes not to stand staring at birds or defo no whistling.third n need for it.I remember a big ugly desperate mate of mine staring whistling at this women she shouted over..want my number?

shovel leaner 7,650 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I've worked on sites for years and think the builders were out of order . Probably young lads or labourers . To hassle a girl on her own is wrong and a mature man on site would have had a word with the morons . It's a bit different if it's a group of women because of safety in numbers and a whistle or joke is usually met with a bit of banter . Nobody should be made to feel uncomfortable going about their daily business . 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
