And They Say Chivalry Is Dead....

[PatchO'Black]

Eh, there are some folks who wouldn't know a joke even if God came down and told them that it was, in fact, a joke. I'll take Jester's word that when he told the customer to shut up, it was done in a fashion that generally even the more clueless of individuals will pick up on the humorous intent of the statement.

Percy wouldn't recognize a joke if it danced naked in front of him wearing Dobby's tea cozy.

[MiloMorai]

I think if it was me when I was bartending I would have told him to shut up too. See how he likes a little Wudang Palm Chuan-fa White Tiger Boxing.

[EricKei]

What really gets me is that the husband didn't question the fact that she was in the company of two men that weren't her husband.

I was thinking that, too, and I would not be surprised if she...neglected...to mention them at all. In her version of the story, Jester was probably also jumping up and down on the bar breathing fire and scaring all of the other customers away as he shouted at her at the top of his lungs....

Hrm...Say Jester, if that ever does happen? We want pics or video. Preferably video ^_^

[Peppergirl]

So, everyone else was laughing and even though they were in good spirits, the minute she laid down the law about tipping they gave in? If she's that successfully manipulative it's no wonder she's able to get King Kong to go fight her battles for her.

Way to set the gender back there, ma'am.

This. Be a humorless bitch if you want to be..even though I hate humorless bitches, but for God's sake - don't run crying to your knuckle-dragging, neanderthal husband and have him fight your battles for you. I absolutely DESPISE women like this. I never, ever had my ex husband fight my battles for me and it offends the shit out of me when these so-called 'women' pull crap like this.

[blas]

Much agreed, Pepper and everyone else.

Well, actually, I'm not sure what I hate more. Women who use their men to fight their battles for them, or men who are nothing but bullies who go around trying to start Jersey Shore type fights with every other male they see.

Any time I hear a woman go "Wait until I tell my husband about this!" I just want to roll my eyes and call her a pussy. Seriously.

[BamaBabe]

Woman being with men other than her husband. Check.
Man with big body and little dick coming to her "rescue". Check.
Jester not suffering repercussions due to this couples' asshattery. Priceless.

What really gets me is that the husband didn't question the fact that she was in the company of two men that weren't her husband. Instead he focused on the fact that Jester was 'mean' to her. I really hate idiots like that woman and her husband, especially when she can't even stand up for herself if she was truly offended...but, otoh, I do know couples who play this sort of game for shits and giggles. I have as little as possible to do with them because I can't stand that sort of intimidation bullshit.

If I have a problem with somebody I will let them know instead of expecting somebody else to step in for me. But then I'm not exactly a shrinking violent and have been told that when I'm angry that I can be downright scary.

I agree with this! It takes alot to piss me off but when pushed, I can definately take care of myself. I will LET you know.

Some day bitchy humorless SC is going to drag her Gorilla of a husband to the wrong battle and he's going to eventually get HIS own ass kicked. Unless that's what the humorless SC woman wants, to see her husband get his ass kicked...

Meh. Whatever. They're her friends, they didn't want to piss her off. Perhaps she would have set her husband on them.

I hate to defend this woman for any reason....but exactly what is wrong with this? Either they were her friends, or their friends, or his friends, or someone they knew....it certainly didn't seem like there was anything fishy or untoward with their association with her.

I'll take Jester's word that when he told the customer to shut up, it was done in a fashion that generally even the more clueless of individuals will pick up on the humorous intent of the statement.

Pretty much, yeah. A deaf Chihuahua would have recognized it as a joke.

[Draco]

I honestly hope she ends up back in the bar again. Just so I can hear how THAT goes. >.>

[Jester]

Under most circumstances, absolutely nothing is wrong. However, based on the fact that she had to had to bring her husband in to threaten you (and the whole incident seemed somewhat misogynistic to me) that he'd have just as much issues with his 'poor defenseless wife' being in the company of men other than him.

Yeah, but they didn't tell her to shut up.

I honestly hope she ends up back in the bar again. Just so I can hear how THAT goes. >.>

I honestly hope she doesn't.

Actually, I was worried that she or they might return yesterday during my shift, but happily I got through the whole thing without any problems, from them or anyone else.

But it's starting to be a running joke in The Bar. I'll say to Nice Guy Eddie, "Shut up." And he'll tell me he's going to get his boyfriend to come beat me up. Etc., etc.

I DO hope that the two of them don't show up at The Battle of the Bars tomorrow, as I won't be at work, I won't be sober, and I might not be able to not tell them what I think of them, which might well land me in some physical distress, or cause my coworkers/team members some distress as they come to my aid. (Did I mention that this guy was HUGE?)

[Eisa]

Yikes. -sends Jester good luck and defense vibes...and a defense llama- Hey, y'know, whatever works.

[Jester]

This is the Keys. We don't have defense llamas.

We employ defense manatees!

[Eisa]

What do you do on dry land though?

[Seshat]

Eh, there are some folks who wouldn't know a joke even if God came down and told them that it was, in fact, a joke.

I'm afraid I can be one of those people. But I'll retreat in confusion or usually look upset or puzzled. Which usually gets someone worriedly trying to explain that it was a joke.

What do you do on dry land though?

Give the manatees Self-Contained-Outofwater-Breathing-Apparatus. Scoba.
