I hear drunk people

[gordonzola]

Waiting for friends to arrive at the bar last night I got to overhear drunk drama. One guy was yelling at his friend, "I know what you’re doing! You’re stealing my friends. You’re always stealing my friends. You’re not my friend."

His friend, not nearly as drunk, replied in a voice soft enough that I couldn’t understand individual words. He was trying to soothe his friend but it wasn’t working. A woman was also with them and caught my eye and knew I heard the drunk’s outburst . She gave me one of those what-are-ya-gonna-do looks that come with a shrug.

Drunkie saw this, looked over at me, and stormed out.

My friends arrived but I guess the bar was emptier than usual because I kept being distracted by alarming statements coming from the tables around me.

"I have body issues! All women have body issues!

"I’ll beat up your father for you if you want me to."

"Is that a rat under that table over there?"

I decided against hanging out for a second pitcher.

WHICH bar???

I used to argue the "all women have body issues" statement but just hanging out with other women gives me body issues.

Drinking to excess is far, far more entertaining when other people are doing the boozing. You save money, you wake up rested and chipper the next day, and you get a free floor show.

The Drunks freakin' love you.

People with issues hang out in bars? Who knew?

I used to find this kind of scenario hilarious, and drunks endlessly amusing. Now I just find it kind of, well... depressing.
