I called a girl a **** today. Justified?

[Darthphere]

Then later on, either Neil or Neils friend got up to go to the toilet. So while they were away i went to sit on the couch. When I did this, immediately one of the girls sat on my stool.

I may be crazy, but I don't see where she was in the wrong here. I mean, you left the seats. She didnt have to cop an attitude, but she was well within her rights.

 

[Mee]

Shut up Darthphere.

It's not like this is a free country or anything.

 

[Erzengel]

She probably did deserve it.

Of course I'm not surprised you didn't give up your seats to a bunch of women who were standing.

 

[Darthphere]

I didnt even begin to get into that.

 

[Mee]

Could've at least offered them your laps.

 

[WorthyStevens]

Who the hell names their kid Seamus?

 

[kainedamo]

Well, she surely must have realised that my friend was going to be coming back. You don't automatically get the right to sit on a seat when someone leaves it. That is not proper pub etiquette. Proper pub etiquette also involves asking if a seat is taken.

Not anywhere I've ever been. Typically when a seat is available, you snatch it. Also, a decent guy would've given the women their seats anyway.

Really? Must be different where you are. I've never seen anyone in a pub just "snatch" a seat next to a group of people. They ALWAYS ask. It's just manners.

And I probably would have given one of them the seat, if they hadn't given Seamus dirty looks earlier. I have been known to give up my seat before.

 

[Erzengel]

Well your friends were acting like drunken idiots. Is that how you flirt in Ireland? Pushing a guy into a group of girls?

 

[Hades]

He should have picked up the chair and hit her in the head with it.

Would have showed her who's boss.

 

[November Rain]

Situation was dealt with immaturely...as expected...

 

[kainedamo]

Well it's like I explained. It was unintentional, and he BARELY even bumped into them.

I flirt by following girls home, and waiting till they're asleep, then I climb in through their windows.

 

[Erzengel]

Still, maybe it was the immaturity that turned the girls off and not the actual almost being pushed into them.

 

[Cyrusbales]

equal rights for women means you're allowed to punch them too

 

[Mr Jide]

Myself, Seamus, Mark, and Neil and Neil's friend were sitting in antie annies drinking. Celebrating St. Patricks day. We managed to get some seats. They were sitting on the couch and I had a stool. These girls were next to us standing there 'cause there was no room really in the bar at all. Mark was fooling around and accidentally pushed seamus into them. Seamus barely even really shoved them, and he apologised. But they gave him such dirty looks. Seamus pointed his thumb at them openly saying whats up with these girls!

Then later on, either Neil or Neils friend got up to go to the toilet. So while they were away i went to sit on the couch. When I did this, immediately one of the girls sat on my stool. So i said "sorry that stools taken". The girl was pretty much ready to get up, but her friend jumped in and said "well i dont see anyone sitting there now!!" I was shocked. She was incredibly stupid and childish. I said "No. That's not her seat. Our friend has just went to the toilet". And she said "He's not sitting there now! So that's tough!" REALLY *****y attitude and tone. I said something like... what are you, one of those girls off of one of those american high school movies that likes to be a ***** for no reason? Probably not the wittiest thing to say.

And I was kinda angry. So i started taking the stool while the girl was sitting on it. She got up off of it while i was pulling it. So the girl that was being rude to me got in my face and said she was going to get a bouncer!!! She disappears and 10 seconds later the bouncer comes in and asks whats going on! So I explained to the bouncer that I was minding the seat. The girl told the bouncer that I was being intimidating and no one had been sitting on the stool for 20 minutes. Both lies. From the time Neil or his friend got up to go to the toilet and the time the bouncer came in, no more than 2 or 3 minutes had transpired. I think the bouncer could tell she was a ***** or an idiot, or both, because he took my side. He said it was my right to mind the seat while my friend was at the toilet. When the bouncer left, I told the girl she needed to grow up. I couldn't believe she went to get the bouncer!!

5 minutes later we went off to a different bar anyway. As I left, I got close to her face and I said "theres some free seats for ya now you ****!" and walked off.


I win.


I mean... i've been going to bars for years. And every single time I go to a bar, someone always asks me, or i ask someone else, hey is someone sitting here? And you either give or get, depending on whos asking, a polite response. And that is that. Tonight was the first time someone made an issue out of the seat. A seat that was clearly not the girls' seat.

Bro, you should have opend up your hand, spat in it and pimp-smack that ho into the middle of next week.

 

[kainedamo]

He apologised immediately

You're making it sound like we were interested in them - "turned the girls off". They were just a group of girls standing next to us in a very packed bar.

 

[kane9321]

I'd wouldn't have just called her a *****. It'd have been a proper knock-down, drag-out fight between us, until I messed up her hair, making me ultimate winner.

I hate girls like that. People can't just be mature about stuff.

And if the bar happened to be on Marina street, I'd throw her into the sea to sober her up afterwards.

that would have been hawt

 

[Darthphere]

Yeah, you do.

 

[Erzengel]

He apologised immediately

Not saying that. Group of girls they noticed that one of your friends was pushing the other one, and almost hit them. Fine instead of "turned off", annoyed by the immaturity.

 

[kainedamo]

Yeah, you do.

It's not pub etiquette. It is very rude to just go around snatching chairs.
And for all of the years I've been going to pubs, it's never been a problem until Saturday.


And again, Erz, he barely brushed one of them. They have an attitutude problem if they're going to roll their eyes like prissy little *****es and ignore an apology. In a packed pub, people are going to knock into one another.

 

[Erzengel]

They were probably b'tches. Doesn't mean that your friends weren't acting mature. I mean who "shoves" people jokingly at a packed bar?

I dont nkow how they do things over there, but down here, you leave a seat, its up for grabs, the thing you fail to realize is, you left too, removing any right to say that someone was sitting there. You made an issue out of a non issue.

So, the people where you live have some sort of problem with manners?

I mean seriously, over here, this is how things are done. You are in a pub, you have nowhere to sit. You see a free stool. You don't just run over and grab it if people are sitting around it. You ask the group if anyone is sitting there. They say yes or no. I have done this many times, and I have been asked many times. NEVER have I seen someone just snatch a seat from a group of people (and over the years I've been to various pubs, many times). Honestly, Saturday was the first time I've seen it. I think there might have been the occasional misunderstanding, where I would have said to someone, or someone would say to me, sorry there was someone sitting there. In which case, you immediately say "oh, sorry 'bout that!" and get off the seat.

The bouncer agreed with me. Most people on this thread agree with me. You have the right to mind a seat for a friend.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I said something like... what are you, one of those girls off of one of those american high school movies that likes to be a ***** for no reason?

Have you ever thought about coming to terms with your Anti-American prejudice?
'Cause every weekend I watch an Australian series about High School girls where there's a main character who's a b**** for no reason, and I've seen countless foreign (to me/us) films featuring same.
But you have to specify "American" b****.

I win.

No. One thing I've learned is that you look like a real sneevily little pud-weasel when you wait until right before leaving to pull out the big insult-words.
That's why when I've been pissed at some stranger in public, I always try to issue the boldest insult as soon as they've earned it, to ensure that we'll still be staying there near them, avoiding any possible appearance of being cowardly.
