Thirsty Hippo
Posted @ 11:19pm

Since I have today, and tomorrow off, I decided I needed to get out of the house for a bit. I hooked up with J Ryd at Doubles and thought it would be fun to see how many beers I could get him to drink, before he had to go to work at 9.

The answer is 6!

It was a nice day, we sat around on the patio for a bit, catching up on shit. It's been awhile since I've been to Doubles during Happy Hour. I had forgotten how many senior citizens go in to get their drink on before their 8pm bedtime.

While J Ryd and I were chatting, this 40 year old, blonde chick, carrying a very tall glass of beer, asked if she could join us at our table. J Ryd and I aren't douchebags, so we told her she was more than welcome to take a seat. There was something about her I really didn't like. Which is wierd, because I had only known her for 2 seconds, and I'm usually pretty tolerant of the people at the bar.

J and I were in the middle of a conversation, I don't remember about what. Next thing I know, this lady blurts outta nowhere:

Lady: Are you guys in the program?
J Ryd: What program?
Lady: AA

Already annoyed with this chick, I excused myself to the restroom, and let J Ryd, who was as equally annoyed, carry on the conversation.

Upon my return, I walked into the most boring story ever. Turns out, her husband was severely addicted to drugs and booze, and went to AA, and has been sober for 9 months, blah, blah, blah

No one gives a fuck!

I asked J Ryd if he wanted to shoot a game of pool, so we could politely ditch this bitch. We wandered inside, both extatic that we got away from her, which didn't last long.

We were out for another smoke break after the game, and she walked up to us again....

Lady: I hope you guy's don't think I'm trying to hit on you, I just think you're cool to talk to.

I think the only things we had said to this lady in the prior conversation were, "uh-huh", and "okay".

Lady: My husband just went to a bachelors party, and got real wasted, and had to call his AA sponser, so now he has to start all over, blah, blah, blah

I cannot stand drunk people who don't know when to shut the fuck up. There are tons of great people at that bar, that are a blast sober, or drunk, but every now and then you get the person, who just doesn't get it.

We got away from her again, and played a few more games of pool. I had a poker game to host here at the house at 8, so we finally we went out for one last smoke before I left.

Out of nowhere, the drunk annoying bitch runs out of the bar, and pulls up a chair in front of the bench we were sitting on, totally blocking us from an easy escape. She violently, threw her cell phone and her cigarettes on the bench, and began to cry.

Lady: Can I talk to you guys?? Like, human to human?

She ends up having this huge break down in front of us. She had been drinking the entire time we were there, and it turns out....

She is in AA, too!!

She had been clean for 9 months with her husband, and suddenly decided it would be a good idea to hit up a bar, and get wasted.

Not only was she getting wasted, but she was preaching the AA program to us, while she's getting wasted.

She says she has a disease, and it's eating away at her, and she must drink and do drugs, blah, blah, blah...

I don't know this chick,

I don't like this chick,

I certainly don't care about her fucking problems

You are not going to get sympathy from me about your AA, when I've been watching you drink for the past 2 hours!

It's people like this that need to be run over more, by busses!

Luckily, she was thrown out a few minutes later....

And tragically killed by a bus!
