    Being verbally abused by a member of the public when all I wanted was to quietly start my day by stopping at the shop for my paper on the way to work. Bloke in a van obviously clocked my uniform (bit humid today so I didn’t have a jacket on) and decided to call me a ‘fucking tosser’. Charming.

    Probably the same sort of bloke who tells folk down the pub that people should be hanged for dropping litter...

    Very odd indeed when people refer to a woman as "a lady"

    Why is Lady (the entire equivalent of Gentleman) now seen as a derogatory term?

    I really don't understand this one? Men are still often referred to as Gentlemen without offence. So why are Women offended by Lady?

    Any posters that understand this one, please help me out!

    Oh yes...this! Got a pair recently that has a back pocket that every time I sit down deposits my wallet onto the chair. One day I'm going to forget to check when I leave.

    Yeah saw for example that Liverpool WFC had changed their name from Liverpool Ladies FC to Liverpool FC Women because of this

    I always thought that "woman" was the derogatory term and that lady was the polite word - i.e. If ever speak to my wife and call her "woman" I'm in deep shit

    Treading in dog shit in my brand new sandals. Then, to add insult to injury, Mrs Stig having a go at me for wearing shoes indoors. Taking my shit-caked sandals out to the side alley to clean them and treading in a pile of cat chunder. Then, as if she'd been hovering all the while waiting to have a second go at me, Mrs Stig appearing out of nowhere to remind me what an idiot I was and how she told me it was there. Yes dear, you did tell me it was there - two hours ago. You didn't tell me that you planned to do nothing about it and would use it to belittle my animal detritis avoidance skills (or lack of).

    I refer to other women as 'Ladies' all the time, so not sure what the problem is?

    Referring to girls/women as ladies was respectful I thought. 'They' is obviously much more respectful as a pronoun

    if i had ever said 'that woman has a nice dress' i was told woman wasn't a very nice word to use so would always use lady. However nowadays the more I say lady i think of Little Britain.

    I can’t help it, it’s a recognised disorder. I have a note from my GP.

    It’s good to see you are getting help to beat it.

    What does the note say?

    Please excuse @AddickUpNorth, he's a fooking tosser.

    That dulcolex advert with the lady saying "as an engineer I know how complex systems work" before recommending a particular laxative. I thought as an engineer they worked it out with a pencil?
