Master of the Meh
So I went to a local bar last night with a couple of buddies as we do every Monday night. The bar is owned by an Irish Immigrant who is really cool except for his disdain for Harp Lager.
He and I have joked back and forth over the years about Harp. I personally enjoy it a great deal. He calls it Budweiser.
So I take my first sip of Harp last night and it was a little "off", I can't quite say how, but it wasn't quite right. I jokingly said "Hey Jon, I think someone got Budweiser in your Harp." and smiled.
He asked if it tasted bad and I told him it seemed a little bit off the norm but not to bother as I was quite OK with it. A while later, he asked me again if it was OK and I told him it was. That was the last I heard of it... Or so I thought.
I went home at about 11:30 and went to bed. At 12:15 AM my phone goes off with a text message from one of my two "Friends" telling me I had been "86'd" from the bar. I asked him why, and according to him, I greatly offended the proprietor of the establishment with my comment. So I texted back that he couldn't be serious, as I was clearly joking as we had before and that if I had had a real problem with it, I would have asked him to replace it. I certainly would not have paid for it and given a tip on top if I were unhappy.
From that point on, I have received no less than 30 text messages from this "Friend" telling me what a fucking asshole prick I am and getting more and more psychotic with each one. I haven't responded to any of them.
This is the same guy who a couple years back was driving the other "friend" home from a bar about 30 miles away and at 1:30 AM on CHRISTMAS morning, pulled to the side of the hiway, told the other friend he was an ungrateful prick, punched him in the jaw and kicked him out of his car leaving him to walk the last 7 miles home, in the dark in the cold... On Christmas morning.
The funny part is, between the friend that got sucker punched and dumped and myself, we have helped this clown out of an endless series of crises over the years and we are the last two people on Earth that will come to his aid.
I try and keep him at arms length, but I've never been able to get completely away from him. He's working towards a T.R.O. right now though.
So, do any of you guys or gals know someone who is completely off the rails?
