P.O.’d Man Takes Nosedive
Stupid things happen in bars daily and there is always that one event of the evening that is worthy of being repeated.
We’ve all seen plenty, but I’d like to share my 1st encounter of 2006.
My friend Lauri and I went to Django after work to meet up for a drink. We were minding our own business, tasting a few of their martinis, (only because the bartender was making it up as he went along) and these two guys started chatting with us. One in his 20’s the other in his late 40’s.
We were being our usual sassy selves and after about an hour, the one in his 20’s tells his friend that he has some place to go (he couldn’t handle us). To be honest, we were relieved because the conversation was on the boring side and the 40-something was getting a bit drunk and stupid. As they were packing up to leave, the 40-something asked us for our business cards - we told him we didn’t have any. What did he do? He huffed and stormed out of the bar. Asshole - but whatever, we were happy he was gone. We joked around with our waitress about them and about 10 minutes later, the 20-something comes back and says “You will NEVER believe what just happened”. We indulged him and let him tell us his story.
Apparently, the 40-something in his fit of anger from not getting our numbers, slipped down the stairs as he stormed out of the bar. According to his friend, he “broke his face on the stairs”. Actually, he broke his nose, blood was everywhere, and the ambulance came to take him away to the hospital.
Lauri and I looked at him in horror and asked him why he didn’t keep him company and go to the hospital with him. His response? “I’ve broken my nose 9 times and no one ever went with me to the hospital!” (shocking) I’m so glad he came back to share.
Lauri and I went into hysterics after he left (even left an unintelligible message about it for our friend Nancy). How ridiculous is that whole scene?!?! I will say that we quite impressed at how quickly an ambulance arrived though.
Here’s to yet another year of bizarre and outlandish antics! Keep ‘em coming people!
