One of my hobbies is juggling. I was out in the park with some friends when one of them asked if I wanted to help her practice 7 club passing. Looks like this:

As I got the clubs out of my bag a random woman came up to me and said "Can you actually juggle all of those or are you just holding them?"

I asked her if she knew anything about juggling. 7 clubs is relatively rare in the world.

"Yes", she replied. "I'm friends with (juggler who I am better than)."

So I tried 7 clubs and got an okay run. It was a bit windy so I got around 20 catches before the pattern collapsed. I picked them up and asked her if she wanted to pass. She could join me and my friend.

She said "no" and walked away.

I don't even understand why she made the effort to try to talk to me.

When you do pretty much anything interesting in public people will come up to you and try to make conversation. But in my experience it's almost always women who are insulting, dismissive and rude. Even those who should know something about juggling (being friends with a reasonably famous juggler) don't seem to understand the basics of the hobby and don't seem to want to make a good impression.

I used to juggle on the quad at my University. Random women were even more annoying than drunk frat boys. This got noticeably worse the further into the 2010's it became and at the end it got so bad that I decided to juggle in the gym instead.
