My BART Adventures: The drunken lonely man
Mar 12th, 2008 by dino-ray
I am a frequenter of BART (a.k.a. Bay Area Rapid Transit). That said, I see a lot of interesting things.
A while back, I was sitting on BART on my way home when a drunken man approached a fairly decent looking lady sitting by herself, minding her own business.
I already knew what was going to happen.
I tried to lean in closer while acting like I was reading my issue of New York Magazine. All I heard was a bunch of slurring from the college-aged boy and then it ended in utter humiliation when the young lady got up and bluntly said, “Maybe you shouldn’t drink so much!” and walked out of the doors.
Now, I don’t drink (not anymore at least - once I get to know you better, I’ll share that with you). But it was interesting to see these types of scenarios. What made it worse was that he was all by himself. He ended up falling asleep and missing his stop.
That is just pathetic.
This reminds me of one time when my friend, Judi was drunk on 6th street in Austin and she got into an argument with a less-drunk guy. She ended up shoving a slice of pizza in his face and that means I had to step in. I pulled her away from said drunk guy as she kept on yelling obscenities.
After she was a decent distance away from the pizza faced guy, I started to apologize and then he tried to start shit with me saying, “I won’t hit a girl, but I will hit a guy.”
Right then and there, I pulled out my nine and busted five caps into that mother fucker’s ass.
I ended up going to jail for the night, but the guy I shot ultimately survived. He didn’t press charges and I was released on probation.
Long story short, me and the pizza face guy fell in love and we have been together for five years. We have also adopted a Somalian kid via eBay.
Okay, all of that was true until the part about me busting a cap in his ass. I ended up just walking away from the whole situation because that’s not how I roll. Plus, it wasn’t worth it.
But wasn’t the made-up part of my story fun?
Anyways, I am still mad at Judi for putting me in that position.
