Monster Ru

Doormatised

so i was at my local pub last night, playing pool. during one of my games, this couple walked into the bar, and this woman took my seat. i mean, my things were there, there was a drink there, and there were people there to ask if the seat was taken. she didn't even bother asking and just plonked herself down. i saw it all happening, but because i was at the pool table, i thought i'd leave my friend S to take care of it.

she didn't want to barge, but decided that my seat was where she wanted to sit. she had the gall to tell S - just move along down the bar!!! KKNCCB! how fucking rude was that?!

one of the bar staff was really surprised that i got moved involunteerily, and all i did was say "yah - i got displaced." i guess if my things weren't moved, i would have had a word with her. but on the other hand, i must really have mellowed because if this happened a couple of years ago, i would have said something, whether my things were moved or not.

and then there was the bitch who thought herself the best pool player on earth. or at least in that pub. we were having a great time playing pool, but missing some easy shots. she was commenting on this and you could see that she thought of our playing as inferior. furthermore, i could sense her impatience.

i actually went up to her and asked if her name was up/what she was so unhappy about/why she couldn't stand seeing other people having a good time/if her boyfriend wasn't good in bed so we could maybe speed up, try to play better or let her join in our fun. but she said no, obviously not appreciating the fact that i was trying to make an effort to be friendly. the moment we finished the game she put her coins in and skipped B's turn? i mean WTF? and because he owns the place and is a nice person, he let it be?

and then whilst she was playing she actually (deliberately maybe) walked into me twice. after the second time, i said to her, "least you can say is sorry or excuse me!" well, she got quite defensive after that but by then i had already walked away, thinking to myself what an idiot i was trying to be nice in the first place!

i must be turning into a doormat!
