Good evening friends. True story in 2009 or 2010 in NYC.

 I won’t mention the name of the establishment. It was during my online dating and bonanza bar hoping days. I of course got to the bar before my date did so I could start the Pre-drinking before the drinking and dinner started. You know, real normal _hit. It was right after work and the bar area was packed, After I got my drink, I stood in the spot at the bar where I was served , which is usually what people do.

 Next think I know, I noticed another gentlemen and his friends were eager to get a drink and kept putting their arms over my shoulders so that the bartender could see the cash in their hands. So I turned around to the main guy of his entourage and said “Would you like my spot so that the bartender can serve you quicker?” He said to me, “Why didn’t you ask me that 10 minutes ago knowing I’ve been waiting, and you’ve had your drink for ten minutes” — So I said, “I’ll tell you what, I am going to step back so you and your friends can come closer to the bar, and I will take a seat in the back”

 Next thing I know the guy and his 6 friends surround me at the bar, because the main guy was saying to them, “Boys we got a real wise ass here” — I said to him, “Listen, I’m just waiting for a date. I really didn’t see you guys originally and as soon as I did, I offered you my spot at the bar” So one of the guys in the group said; “Did you say you are waiting for a date?” I said, “Yes, I’m waiting for a date” — So he said “Who the _uck would date you” ? — I was like ”Listen, I really don’t know, and I just want to get out of the way so y’all can get your drinks and enjoy your night.” Now the six of them literally surrounded me in a circular fashion, with me against the bar and they said “Its too late for  that, we have a big problem with you now” —  Good think I knew the bartenders and they saw what was going on and tried cooling this down.

 Next thing you know, my date walks in and walks over to me. The six guys started wising off to her about me. Comments like; “You’re meeting this loser or schmuck out tonight? Are you on drugs or just desperate?” — Now that really pissed me off that they were harassing my date, she was really sweet and nice boobies.

 So i said, “Dude, that’s enough of your bull_hit, I’ve been listening to this nonsense coming out of your trap for the last 15 minutes, and I’m done with it” — So the big shot of the crew said “What are you going to do about it?” — Here’s the kicker, my date turns to me and says, “Scott, I’m sorry, I don’t date guys who are fighting with other guys at bars” So I turned to her and said, “All i did was ask them if they wanted my spot at the bar so they could get their drinks quicker” — She said, “I’m sorry, it looks to me like you picked a fight with these guys.” I thought I was in the Twilight Zone. I really did.

 So Scott what is the point of this long pointless story?  The point is, if you’re having a drink at the bar, don’t give your spot up for anyone else, because then they will say you’re being a wise ass for no particular reason, and your date will walk out on you. Thanks for stopping by and hearing my entertaining yet useless story.
