why oh why do I attract the semi-psychos? LOL!!! so last night I had a craving for spaghetti so I decided to try out Ricatoni's which everyone has recommended. And I have to say the food was delicious! So I go to the tiny uncomfortable bar and sit down with my tour guide of the Netherlands. I notice someone had left the day's USA today with the all the sections separated out so I of course pick up the Lifestyle section. Gotta catch up on my gossip (Did you know that Amish Romance novels are currently the latest rage? and Robbie Williams just married his American gf this past weekend?). I have it DIRECTLY in front of me and I'm texting my sister about Robbie when this kid (maybe 18-20?) sits down 2 seats over. whatever. And he asks "are you done with that?!" I'm like "no. but I guess if you want it..." so he takes the Lifestyle section from me looks at it for like 2 seconds and then picks up the rest of the paper. wtf, right? so a little later I'm eating my salad reading my book and my chicken parm comes out. I leave it there to cool off and so I can finish the salad and I hear mumbling next to me. whatever. next thing I know the guy is like "hey!". so I turn a little and he says something like "that sure looks tasty". I'm like. "yep" and I start reading again. I vaguely hear him next telling one of the passing waitresses he is drinking crystal light...wtf #2. or 3... Finally he leaves. Later in the night I find out he comes in all the time and isn't all there upstairs. And even though he'll come in wearing brand new expensive Lakers jerseys etc he would order sodas and then not pay. And apparently one time he went up to this girl who was finishing her pizza. he was like "Are you done with that?" when she said yeah he picked up a slice and ate it. wtf #4!
OK so he left and then these 2 guys who were in town from Panama city, FL showed up. they were entertaining and a little buzzed. The wicked tall and sturdy (that's the best i can think of) guy ended up getting pissed drunk. Pretty funny. First they kept repeating (as most delightful drunks will) their story about the waitress at Ricatonis from last week who they had left a huge tip cuz they were there for like 4 hours. She had hugged them goodbye and recommended the bar across the st saying she wasn't going to go over there that night. well I guess she did and completely ignored them so yeah. They were calling her Rebecca (her name was Brandi?). so whatever crazy drunk guy had had 4 beers at their hotel (the Hampton Inn down the rd so they could walk) then 2 tall ones at Legends and I swear. I swear he must have had at least 10 at Ricatonis. anyway flash forward, he keeps telling me his hotel room (yuh right like that would happy mr married drunk man with kids. sorry!) to which I laugh nicely. Doesn't hurt to flirt a little :) LOL anyway we close the place down and walk outside and the guy is like "omg. when did I get drunk??" Ummmm maybe it was beer 12? no no probably 13... LOL!! ok so he is staggering standing still. Mind you I had parked across the street at the corner like a minute away. so wicked tall (at least 4-5 inches taller than me) guy puts his arm around me as I offer to drive them home. They refuse and we all start walking to their hotel. Yes. you get it. right past my car. sigh. through an alley over to the hotel. At the elevator drunk guy keeps trying to press the button but really it was just an image about a foot above the button. So I get em in the elevator with hugs goodbye and then I yes ME the GIRL has to walk back in the dark at like 11pm to my car by MYSELF. So I say - what the hell? Whatever happened to the gentlemanly manners I've grown fond of in the south? Obviously not in FL. LOL I made it home no worries. just tired. :)
