Mansplaining

There were two people stood by my boat yesterday whilst I was sat on the back knitting.

The lady liked the look of the boat and said she'd like to live on one.

The gentleman with her told her that I didn't live on the boat I was just on holiday.

He went on to explain that boats don't have running water, kitchens or bathrooms.

I interrupted him to assure both of them that my boat did in fact have all the facilities necessary for a reasonable quality of life.

I would have offered them a tour of the boat but the gentleman got so cross at being contradicted he stomped off and the lady followed.
