I have one friend who has a coworker that has cancer. She calls in sick a lot and gets out of work early, etc. My friend thinks that she is not being honest and not telling the truth about being out, and just using the cancer as an excuse. My question to her is why would this bother you in particular? Personally, I think that is very selfish. Cancer is no picnic, and those who have it have many appts they must keep, and furthermore, they tend to be lacking in energy; they tire easily. I am sure she is being paid for the time she is there, so what is that to her?

Other circumstances in general where another woman will say/do something and it will get other women upset. From a man's point of view it seems trivial, but it really bothers other women though. My question is why? There are certain things that some women do that really irritate me, but most are usually the same thing I would suggest that some men do! I will admit that some women have the diva complex, but I have learned how to handle most of those.
Things that both women and men do that bother me:
* When they suppose they can tell me how to do my job or when they ask me to change procedure for them, that is really irksome, but only a few assume they can do this.
* . . . .
I can't think of anything else, but maybe I can later. Most people are basically good people; it's just that for some, it takes a little extra effort to find the good things about them or the things that will tell me why I should "just be nice to them" anyway.
Oh! There was one my son dealt with in a store that I would have . . . I'm not sure what I would have done! Laughed, probably!
He was in a store that had an unwritten and unindicated policy that everyone was to stand in the same line to wait for the next checkout. When my son saw that this was what they were doing, he thought it was goofy since there were not posts or signs to indicate this, but he got in the line and waited like the rest.
A woman came in after him and told him to get in another line, or she would. He responded that everyone was in one line, and they would be called to the next open register. her response? "Well, that's stupid. I'm from New York."
.
.

He was thinking, "And?" but she said nothing more. So he responded, "Well, I'm from Minneapolis, and they don't do this there, but this is the way it is done in this store."
I don't think I could have done that without cracking up! 
So, yes, demanding, commanding women are irritating!
