Went out tonight because one of my wife's friends was turning 30. We meet up for dinner near the Galleria and then head over to midtown for a few drinks and to make sure she wakes up tomorrow with a headache the size of Texas. We were sitting down at a table and I was checking into the OU/KU game when out of nowhere, I'm hit with a drink the azzholes across from us threw our way. Nothing provoked, no words to them, no looks, no signals, nothing. Just out of the blue. A brand new Banana Republic shirt...ruined (pulled the tag off today). I was pissed and stood up and had a few words with them, and the guys seemed apologetic (knowing everybody there saw them do it), but the girl with them seemed to think she was SJL and began getting lippy. I decided it wasn't worth getting in a fight over or ruining my wife's friends birthday, so I sat down as the waitress began apologizing. The bar itself did nothing to the azzholes who threw the drink (i.e., ask them to leave), didn't offer to pick up my wife and I's tab (1 beer a piece at that time) or even consider replacing my shirt. It ended up ruining my night and we left shortly after because sitting there covered in what smelled like rum and coke while the people are across from us not having a care in the world was making my blood boil. It was a clear reminder why I gave up going out and am content with just getting a couple of drinks with dinner in the 'burbs.

So, no college hatred or anything? I don't get it. Damn, that's a reason to break someone's jaw in my book.

Weak

There are two options you present to your waitress, to relay to the manager at time:

either
a) they kick the people out of bar and you get a fresh round of drinks FOR FREE
or
b) they watch you start a fight in the middle of their bar (resulting in property destruction, HPD visit and paperwork)

Your duty is to follow through on 1 of these obligations -- drop a pair and be a loud mouth customer to the establishment . . . or call those people who annoy/'nag' you out as the scum they are!

If you let something like this prevent you from having a good time in the future, you really should stay home and take it easy or stick to the nice dinner and upper class show in the future (nothing wrong with either of those, by the way)

WTH? What was the explanation given for the drink? This makes no sense.

I woulda been dropping racial slurs if se was SLj like, provoke em even further.

A drink ruined your shirt? I'm confused.

I was vocal to both the azzholes and to the waitress. She kept telling me that the manager was speaking with them, but we were there for about 20 minutes after it happened and the only person not in their group to walk over to them was a waitress for more drinks. Every time our waitress came over, I reminded her that I wanted them gone and a new shirt, but nothing ever came of it. As far as fighting, it wasn't worth it. I didn't want to have to deal with HPD, and most importantly, I didn't want to ruin the rest of the night for my wife's friend. So I let it be and hoped the management would have taken care of it like the should have.

Next time you go out, why don't you ask some random people to throw a drink on you, ruining a $50 shirt and having nothing done about it by the establishment. That's what pissed me off the most. Having to sit there knowing the management was too big of a ***** to deal with it and ask them to leave.

It's a shame that the ******bags have to ruin everything. I used to not mind going out, but slowly, people have made it too unbearable to have any fun. It seems like the only place left that's enjoyable is Woodrow's.

They said they were throwing it at one of their friends who was walking away and had pissed them off. I never saw a friend, but then again, I wasn't even paying attention to them until it happened.

There was no need to bring race into it...but she seemed to disagree. And now that I think of it, that may be why the place didn't do anything about it. They didn't want to have a group of people yelling that they're being thrown out because they're black.

Coke + white shirt = stained

It hit me on the right shoulder and got all over the front and the back...and it wasn't just a couple of drops.

What bar was it?

Celtic something. Whatever that new place is there by Howl.

You were undeserving and that was chitty. Next time approach the manager yourself if you want something done.

Lesson learned.

That was really crappy, but I hope you weren't wallowing in your own victimhood all night. If you went on with those dudes for more than 2 minutes or so, I'd probably tell you to shut it too.

End of the day, like somebody mentioned, want anything done, you should approach or ask to speak to the manager directly rather than direct the manager to speak w/ somebody else. Also, by your username, seems like you might be around 29 or 30. Losing a $50 shirt sucks, but it really shouldn't be anything to ruin a night or weekend.

Maybe if you weren't demanding a new shirt they may have taken you more seriously. Based in your story they probably should have kicked them out, but why are they responsible for your shirt?

I would've started a fight, no doubt. For an unprovoked incident like that, I'm going to punch that ******* in the face.

If this got to you so much you should have gone to the mgr directly, waitresses have no power in theses situations. staying there sulking does nothing

Also a restaurant isn't going to buy you a new shirt because of another customers actions, maybe if it had been the waitresses fault. at most they would dry clean it for you. I'm doubt your shirt is ruin ed, just take it to the cleaners. again thats not a call a waitresses can make, only a mgr

Alotta whining on the tine board this weekend

Hopefully the op is a female. If not, one strike from man card getting taken up.

If you are a man. PLEASE don't tell me you asked your friends husband to accompany you to the John.

I'm sitting there covered in those *******s drink with a ton of people seeing what happened. How could me asking for a manager not be taken serious? I mentioned the shirt thinking they might try and dab into customer service. I guess not. My biggest issue was them not asking them to leave. Period. If they had done that, I would have been alright and had a semi-enjoyable time.

A customer gets upset at my company, I don't sit around and wait for them to come to me. Maybe I'm asking too much for a her to tell the manager to come to a customer when asked.

If I had beat the *****out of him, would that have made me more of a man? How about going to jail over some BS? If I lost "man points" for not letting my emotions get the best of me, so be it.

Oh, my wife is talking to one of her friends right now that was with us and any guess who got into a fight later in the night?

The SJL wanna be was feeling froggy, got lippy and her ass kicked by some other chick.

Oh no she didn't!

Pooosy!

Yup. Sweet justice!

lax

lax. And the place is Celtic Gardens with their ***** bouncer. Cool place though.

aTm2004, you deserve this for all the girls you banged while being married.

Huh?

Maybe it was a canadian ex... and he has to play it off... They say "The darker the berry the sweeter the juice"...

I loled

This is me:

Option 1 - I'm not drunk: "If you don't kick them out, I am calling the cops. This is assualt. I will press charges."

Option 2 - I am drunk: "That is an intersting soda gun. Can I see that. I want to see if it will spray all the way across the bar."

Option 3 - I am reall drunk: "Food fight!!!" [grabs anything that is edible and starts throwing it across the bar]

When did that place open? I've been thinking of going there.

You sound like an absolute blast to party with. You must have been a Fish Camp counselor.

Should have ordered a cherry vodka sour or other bright red drink and lobbed one over their way on your way out the door.
