I agree.Still should have left you alone after you said no twice though

Telling her to go sit in the car like a good little girl is a compliment? And Jesus man, he doesn't get points because he didn't grab her. wtf is wrong with you?
You're out of your mind. I've helped people load and unload shit plenty of times. Not once did I do it after they declined my offer. If you don't understand that, I wonder how many times you've creeped women out.
Ya I bet... reading it made my hackles go up. There are polite people and there are not-so-polite people masquerading as polite people.I told my husband the story and he got really unsettled.
He said I should have raised my voice (so as to alert other people in the lot that something might be amiss)
But, I have a teeny voice. I have a small SUV but it's still taller than me especially with the trunk open. So unless you were in the same aisle as me, who could really tell I was there? Maybe the trunk being open is a clue.
Ultimately though, I thought that yelling/aggressively say no might have made the situation worse?
Idk. It was weird.
There are a lot of people in serious lack of empathy who can't possibly imagine the situation happening to them. Boggles the mindUltimately though, I thought that yelling/aggressively say no might have made the situation worse?

Huh?You're out of your mind. I've helped people load and unload shit plenty of times. Not once did I do it after they declined my offer. If you don't understand that, I wonder how many times you've creeped women out.
Right?could have grabbed her ass? Stolen her car? Grabbed her purse? Stolen thesalt*stuff*? Pulled a knife? Point is, [ YOU ] had [ THEM ] pretty much trapped in that situation. Not flirty.
You're still here trying to move the goalposts away from your unsympathetic initial response that even made the men here feel squicky?Huh?
My statement has to do with what can happen if anyone walks up to anyone else ever which is why I opened with "Ok, so outside of the salt"
Again, certainly someone can say no thanks. No biggie. Life goes on.
You "helped people load and unload shit plenty of times," right? Because it's a decent, humane thing to do. But additionally, YOU Right?
I don't believe the people who get help are thinking as someone walks up to them 'Yup. I'm vulnerable to ass grabbing, losing my car or purse, getting a knife pulled on me, and am trapped.'
Goalposts aren't moving.You're still here trying to move the goalposts away from your unsympathetic initial response that even made the men here feel squicky?
Just move on.
"nuh uh" probably would have been a better responseGoalposts aren't moving.
Just pointing out that I'm not worried (nor do I think anyone else should be worried) about someone else's negative over-generalizations about someone simply walking up to someone else.
Ok, so outside of the salt, this could happen to any woman at any time she's near her car.
& outside of the purse it could happen to anyone at any time.
& the 'pulled a knife' scenario: couldn't some well meaning person go up and offer help and, just as equally, get a knife or gun pulled on them?
No one doubts you're not worried. You've made it abundantly clear multiple times that you're a misogynist.Goalposts aren't moving.

It's my least favorite chore. Plus the farmer carries to bring all that salt into the house. Yay!I'd offer to help any stranger who's gotta load 400 pounds of salt into their car, because that's shitty work.
Though the conversation would be like "that looks shitty, want a hand with that?", not whatever creepy old man bullshit happened there. And when they say "no thanks", I'd say "ok, have a good day" and walk away... thinking to myself I'm glad they said no, because that's shitty work.
The good news is now your man will get the salt for you!!It's my least favorite chore. Plus the farmer carries to bring all that salt into the house. Yay!
