Out on the beach for a while today, i ran across two people waving for attention; turns out they were stuck right past the ‘4wd only past this point’ sign. I got them unstuck, made sure they didnt need anything else and was about to head on my way. One of the women offered me a couple road sodas, and i declined- i havent drank alcohol in about 13 years and have no inclination to start again. The other woman actually scoffed, and said ‘what man isnt going to accept a beer from a couple women on the beach, are you a f-slur?’
So i left.
Why the fuck do people who drink alcohol act this way around people who dont drink?
I had a job once working as the babysitter for a country bar and that experience destroyed any illusions I still had about any perceived glamor, interest or chill among the sauced.
some people are just losers and they will move heaven and earth to let you know.
Yeah my first night out as a non drinker really opened my eyes to folks who’re smashed and their behaviors. I had a couple moments of wondering how often i acted that way, and frankly how ashamed id be for my tweenagers to see me like that.
