A Story

11 October 2009 25 Comments

readingThis is a story about a mid 50′s gentleman who decided to go out for dinner and drinks on Thursday night.  About how he saw nothing wrong with parking his behind down at the bar, next to my girlfriend and asking if he could have some of the food we had ordered.  About how he totally eaves dropped on our conversations while he sat there. Every time I ‘d say something to girlfriend, his face would be over her shoulder and practically side by side with hers. About how he chimed in with advice we could barely make sense of.  About how he stayed for three drinks. And finally about how he walked out of that place not paying for his drinks. Reason being:

HE TOLD THE BARTENDER HE WAS WITH US.

Those drinks went on our tab. The kicker, he is a very successful real estate developer in my area.

I’m understanding a little better why it is that my single girlfriends have remained single for so long.

    Holy Cow! I think I would send the little jizz stain a bill. And if he doesn’t pay, send this story to the local newspaper. He sounds like a real creep.

    My girlfriend said she is going to drop a copy of the bill off at his office :) Should be interesting.

    A successful real estate developer? Then you know where to send the bill or, better yet, where to get some new shrubs and flowers for your front yard. They dig up easy when they are freshly planted ;)

    This is wrong on so many levels. Besides the obvious, I’m assuming this gentlemen, using the word loosely, stumbled out of the bar and got behind the wheel of a car to drive. Though his MO reeks of BO, this sounds like this isn’t the first time this cough, cough, gentleman has parked his butt on a stool next to unsuspecting and uninterested lady marks at the bar.

    The getting behind the wheel after his three drinks is what bothers me the most (although I am totally creeped out by his behavior!) You are a much better person than I am because I would have said something not very lady like to the creep…

    It wasn’t until we went to pay our bill that we noticed his drinks on there. You’re right though about the drinking/driving. He’s just an all around ass.

    That is just BEYOND low. I’d be plotting revenge. There’s no way he’d want anyone to know he was that slimy. I’d say some sort of public humiliation… BOOOOOO!

    (I know you’d never do it, but it’s fun to plot.) :-)

    Although I’ve never had anyone put their drinks on my tab, I have had my bubble invaded too many times. That’s when I’ll stare off into space while pretending to talk to myself, then I’ll whip my head around and in a sinister voice I’ll say “My voices say they don’t like you” all gurgly and stuff. The look on thier face is priceless!! It works every single time. They walk away, doubting my sanity and leaving me alone :-)

    That’s just unbelievable! Happy to say that my hubby was also appalled. So…did you actually pay for his drink? What did the bartender say??

    We did pay for it and when we were walking to our cars, we looked at the charge receipt. She is heading over to his office this week. He was such a creep and I’m really curious to see what his reaction will be.

    I’ll say something to the bartender the next time we go there. We go there pretty often, so I’m sure he’ll make good by us.

    Still, pretty scummy.

    OMG that is unbelievable. I told off some guys who were doing that at the bar at my mom’s rehearsal dinner party and I could not believe it when the bartender told me how often this happens. How repulsive. I would definitely send him the bill!
