F'd up nigh at old C's

[Scotsman]

So I went to Old Chicago's on my way home from the gym. Nothing special I just had a gift certificate and thought a nice quiet dinner by myself would be nice. Well it wasn't going to happen that way. So they sit me down in this booth and the Avalanche game is on so I am happy as can be. There is this guy sitting at the next booth with his back to me and a table full of people in the room. Well the guy turns around and asks what's up. I say nothing and go back to watching the hockey game. Then he says "I'm just playing cards, you like cards?" I tell him no which is the truth and go back to watching the game. Anyway he keeps trying to talk to me and I am sick and just want to be left alone so I pretty much ignore him. Finally he asks what I do so I tell him I'm a geologist and he goes "well that's a big range of stuff what exactly do you do" So I tell him I am a natural gas exploration reservoir engineer (which is only part of my full title) So he stares at me all bleary eyed since he is about half cocked on burbon. The waitress cuts him off and my food arrives so I think I have a repreive. He keeps turning around trying to talk to me and I just stare at my food and keep eating. Well finally I am done and about to leave when he gets up and sits in my booth right beside me. So I ask "what are you doing" he goes "Thank you, just Thank you" Then I ask him to get out of the booth so I can leave and he stands up and goes " ok let's go come on let's go" So the little bastard is trying to start a fight with me. Now this guy is about 5'6" and maybe a buck thirty so when I stand up even though now he is drunk as shit his eyes get all big and he realizes what is about to happen to him. So I just tell him so sit down get something to eat drink some coffee and sober up and go home. He was pissing and moaning about his wife or girlfriend earlier and that's why he was there alone. So I guess in his mind getting his ass beaten by someone twice his size is going to make him feel better. So I just say "look I am sorry your having a bad day but this won't make you feel any better, just sober up and go home" I was there alone because I like to go out and do things alone plus I was sick and just wanted to eat, but oh no some little drunk guy has to try and fight me. Sorry for the long read just needed to vent.

Cheers,
Scotsman

lol....what a loser

you're a nice guy

 

[theoak01]

thats why I stay in bro,assholes everywhere.

sorry to hear your evening was ruined

 

[Seashell]

See? If you'd had your cattle prod..none of this would have happened.

 

[Scotsman]

Jerkbox- I am not really that nice just last time something like this happened the guy actually hit me. So I hit him back and ended up in anger managment therapy and on a years probation and doing community service. There is no way I am going through that shit again.

Oak- Evening wasn't ruined since I still crushed 385 on bench for the first time in 9 months. Also that is why I usually don't go out but since I was sick I didn't feel like cooking for myself and Old C's was on the way home form the gym.

Seashell- Maybe I just neede you there to protect me.

[Smurfy]

you handled that well.

 

[Scotsman]

you handled that well.

Thank you. I just have too much to lose in my life right now by doing something stupid. I did consider choking him out and putting him in a cab for home but figured I'd let the restaurant handle it.

I would have been immature and told you to beat some ass but then I read you were on probation for a year.

So good job handling that maturely.

No I've been off probation for about two years now I just don't want to go back on.

Good job!

It takes a hell of a lot to piss me off. The last time I got in a fight(years ago), I almost killed the guy (no kidding). Luckily no charges ever came from it since he started it and I was trying to avoid it at all costs.

Ever since then, my attitude has mellowed and things just kind of roll off of my back. I get the shakes real bad when my adrenalin starts in and I hate that feeling knowing what I could possibly do.

You did good though.

Actually I thought he was gay at first since I did order the oriental chicken salad. Was thinking he heard my order and thought I was up for a fling. Seriously he was too drunk to have understood the whole beating principle.

LOL - dude if some weird dude plopped down in the booth next to me, that is prolly the first think I would think too... LOL

 

[supersizeme]

like everyone else said, good job being a nice person and not destroying that guy's world worse than it probably already was. i will never understand people's logic trying to fight people that much bigger than they are. i mean the guy was sitting in the booth next to you...how drunk do you have to be not recognize a person who can bench close to 400lbs and would destroy you.

someone should make a study on it, cause it seems like it always happens that way...

 

[Scotsman]

It's called beer balls. When you drink enough to not realize the other guy is almost a foot taller than you and outweighs you by at least 150lbs.

Yeah but why do they pick the bigger guy... they could find someone the same size or slightly smaller or bigger many times over... but they always go for the guy that is a lot bigger and they will go out of their way to INCITE a fight with them, even if it is some rediculous contrived set of events they must ensure in order to make that happen...

I would like to see their thought processes prior to incidents like this....

Maybe they subconsciously want to get the crap pounded out of them to make them feel even worse...

I think it is because they are expected to lose. If a big guy beats the crap out of a little guy people feel sorry for the little guy. If the little guy wins then he looks super badass and everyone laughs at the big guy. Kind of a catch 22 for bigger people.

In some cases maybe... but not always... that is like in the movie Dazed and Confused when the guy says- "oh these things get broken up in like 5 seconds"... and then gets his face pounded in....

I don't know anyone who would have felt sorry for him, and he would have been the smaller guy....

I always went for who looked like they weren't acting like an asswrench - regardless of size
