Not sucky, just wierd and funny.
I went out for a night on the town with a frined of mine tonight. I've been feeling kinda down so a bit of a bender was just the ticket.
Anywy, i hadn't eaten today and the drink was hitting me hard so we made our way into the Subway next to the bar we'd just left.
There was a guy lenaing on the counter but i stopped paying attention to him while i ordered my sandwich (Mm, chicken teriyaki) until I moved over to pay for my food. Since he was leaning over on the bit in front of the register he was blocking my way.
I considered asking him to move when suddenly he began to snore out loud! He'd fallen asleep! I know it's cruel but the employees, my friend and me spent a few minutes laughing at this guy's expense and specualting on how much he'd imbibed, through this we got some background info.
Apparently this guy had wandered in about fiteen minutes earlier and demanded everyone leave because he lived there! (wha?!) He'd then ordered a sub of the day and promptly fallen asleep.
It was around then that i commented that the only thing really keeping him upright was one of his legs braced out behind him. By whatever good fortune it is that takes care of drunks he was balanced perfectly to prevent him moving.
We were told that a group of lads who had been in had attempted to wake him at one point, but yelling at him and shaking his shoulder had prompted nothing more than the occasionl grunt.
Amused but hungry my friend and i sat down and began to eat, at which point the guy woke up! He took a few bites of the sandwich which until then we'd been unable to see due to his position and promptly went back to sleep.
We spent a few more minutes watching him and giggling a little, well, he was safe, warm and obviously drunk, we didn't feel too bad about it.
I was about halfway through my sndwich when a bouncer from a local club came in (they often get coffee from there on the coldest nights, and it was snowing) and found the guy. He gently shook him awake and guided him out of the door. The drunken man protested that he didn't want to "get nicked" but after being reassured he wasn't being arrested he gathered up his sandwich and left.
Very surreal.
