My son and I often go out for a few beers on Sundays to watch the NHRA drag races.
Today the NHRA was running finals at the track 10 miles up the road. My wife and I were moving wood and heard it,. Quite cool.
So, my son and I are at Applebees this afternoon watching the races. An older guy and a younger woman shows up and take a high top. After a while, she leads him to the restroom which I found odd but not worth noting. The staff also noticed and made comments about it. When they returned, they asked them if everything was ok and were assured that there were no problems.
A while passed and all was going well when this guy walks up and gets in my sons face and tells him that he's going to kick his ass if he talks to him again. Neither me nor his son said anything. It was like WTH? I am not a violent person and will always walk away from confrontation unless it is my visually impaired son.
The bartender gets him to sit back down and apologizes for whatever we said. ***?
The guys companion gets him to go to the truck and gets a to go box. the whole time I am simmering because the bartender has been acting like we caused the issue. She new I was steamed about the whole incident. The bartender told us that the companion wanted to send along apologies for the whole incident.
I posted on another forum about this and got jumped op for getting my feelings hurt. It's not hurt feelings, its just that if you have someone that unpredictable, don't take them out into public.
Just a crap afternoon because of someone that should not have been out among people. It's like a few years back at an Oktoberfest where they have dachshund races. We saw a guy with a cute dachshund. I grew up with one. I go up and he says "Don't get near her, she bites." So... Take her out in public???
the world is turning into a miserable place to be it seems.
