WTF?

At a happy hour last night, the bartender set a tumbler of cloudy liquid in front of me, and said the guy across the bar had asked her to send over a glass of tap water, no ice. What does that mean? Is it an insult? I would understand if he saw me take a tumble down the stairs, but that didn't happen until hours later...(It was the shoes!)

It could be worst. You could have gone home with him and woken up with him gone and the only thing left behind is the local number to AA.

Was the guy making a comment about a beer you were drinking? Some beer snobs think lousy domestic beer is like sex in a canoe: fucking close to water. The no ice part? Hmmm...were you nursing the beer so long that it was warm?

Or, the guy is just a freak and that's his way of saying you are special.

How dare you question my taste in beer, Dr. Bob! Wait, I did partake in $1 Bud Light bottles later in the night... At the time of the assault, however, I was drinking a vodka tonic, on ice.

Hmmmm.... I had a guy "buy" me a shot of water once at the Come Back.... But that was after I bitched him out for being a sexist pig.... You weren't doing any of that were you? In my case, he appeared to think it was a fabulous insult.

Amy said...

Actually, no... I hadn't even spoken to or even noticed him before he sent over the water. After he finally made his way over, though, I found out he was a close-talker and told him he was invading my space.

BTW, nice Sex in the City reference, K-to-the-T.

Thanks for catching the Sex in the City reference, you know I watch that show too much that every story I hear I can relate back to SITC and forget that episodes don't actually happen in real life.

Caroline said...

So I didn't realize he eventually made his way over.... What did he say??? Was he trying to pick you up? Did you ask him WTF the deal was with the water? People are so weird.... Let me correct that, men are so weird....

Amy said...

UGH, he just started talking about random stuff like he wasn't a total weirdo. When I asked about the water he said something about being a poor student. Not sure why he was hanging out at a bar that specializes in $12 martinis.

The better question is why were you hanging out in bar that specializes in $12 martinis? Not blaming the victim here, but what's the old saying-if you sleep with dogs you're going to catch fleas. By the way....hello there.

That was supposed to be funny but now that I read it I think (notice I didn't say FEEL you damn whipper-snappers) it sounds rather prissy and very unfunny.

JABAAR Jabaar?!? Thanks for reading my blog! Hope you are doing well :) I was at the martini bar because a friend of sorts invited me to a happy hour event thing there... that's another unfortunate and awkward dating story for another blog... But yes, I get your point, lame bars are on a not-to-do list I apparently haven't gotten around to yet.
