you da man, I know peeps who have been saying that they are trying to quit for years and they can't do it, it takes stregnth and determination. my hat off to you sir
sorry but it did seem like you were disagreeing with all of us who said it was a foreseeably silly situation to get involved in, and if it hadn't rankled in the mind of the op, the thread wouldn't be here, I think it was rohaan who said it best, inebriated peeps are often capable of saying and doing things that they would possibly not do if they were sober (and I am talking from experience)perhaps the coat lady didn't feel great about the whole thing the next day either, but from the way the grumbling was described it defo would have escalated if the man had interfered. Live and learn, the fact is....we don't live in an ideal world.
when there is something worth fighting over is the time to be counted.
I don't need a panadol, I'm perfectly calm and I don't have a headache, thank you very much.
It seems that the only overly aggressive peeps in this story were women I dislike people who needlessly create a potentially violent situation needlessly and I also dislike peeps who can't take their drink.
If I were in that situation I think I would be more inclined to take my date to another place where we COULD have the romantic dinner that was hoped for, it was doomed the minute she showed any aggression and I went off her as soon as I read it, the same way I just went off you
you were impatient and you had a bit of instant karma
Every chinese restaurant I've ever been in has staff employed to look after the customers, if you had used the staff (whatever his or her age) instead of trying to assume the command of other peeps yourself then the outcome you described about the waiter reclaiming the chair would have been the same and you wouldn't have had anything to do with the other customers.
the intoxicated lady would have had somebody through the door who wanted a seat whether it was you or not and would have been asked for it eventually without you getting involved and embarassing everybody.
next time, don't act the monkey......ask your date if he'd like to talk to the organ grinder
