  • Sucky Customers....when I'm not even working!

    Hat Event #1

    So I was at the Waterfront Bar wearing my pirate hat (big event, don't ask), and watching the goings on on the stage. Suddenly I feel my hat come off my head, and I turn around to see the guy taking it off my head. "Hey, we're trying to see what's going on." Okay pal, that's great....next time try saying something to me, or asking me to move, or shifting yourself....do NOT just grab my hat off my head. That is rude and potentially dangerous....to you. You got lucky...I didn't say anything to you, I simply glared.

    So, I figure this is just a singular asshole, right?

    Hat Event #2

    Wrong.

    Same bar, same hat. I am walking along the dock outside the bar, and suddenly I feel my hat leaving my head....again. I turn around, and this time it's some chick taking my hat off my head. I look at her for a moment, with my hand on the hat she is trying to grab, and I quickly determine this is NOT someone I know trying to mess with me.

    JESTER: "I don't know you. Why are you taking my hat off my head?"
    CHICK: "I wanted to try it on."
    JESTER: "Well next time, try asking." And I took my hat back and walked away.

    Stupid freakin' biatch. Where do these people get their manners?

    Incorrect Correction

    So a bunch of the staff were on stage for a presentation. This old dude next to me starts cheering for one of them. This particular girl had a name that is more commonly pronounced other than the way she pronounces it, and she is very particular about what is and what is not her name. Her name is not Sandra, but I shall use that in this example.

    OLD DUDE: "Yeah, Sandra!"
    JESTER: "Actually, it's pronounced Sondra. Call her Sandra, she might take your head off."
    OLD DUDE: "Listen buddy, I've been tipping her all night. I know her name is Sandra."
    JESTER: "Yeah, and I've known her for years and work with her. Don't tell ME what her name is, pal."

    Jester the Hero

    A female friend of mine, "Lynn," comes up to me at the bar and tells me she just got creeped out at the bathroom. Apparently a couple of guys were hanging out pretty much in the entrance to the women's room, hitting on girls and causing problems. (It's an open air bar, so the entrance is not really well-defined, though it's hard to explain this.....but if you saw it you would get it.)

    I figure hell, I work here (occasionally), and while I'm not working now, everyone who IS working is really busy.....I might as well go take care of this.

    So I head back to the women's room, and sure enough, see two guys standing very well in the area that they shouldn't really be in unless they're lost or women. They are obviously neither.

    I size them up. Both about 5'10", 200 lbs., stocky, drunk, and horny. I am, of course, all of 5'8" and 150 lbs.....and irritated.

    JESTER: "Hey guys. Yeah. Listen, you need to go."
    GUYS: "Huh?"
    JESTER: "We've been getting complaints about you two, specifically about you hanging out right here and harrassing the ladies. So, you need to get out of here. You can hang out in the bar if you want, but you Cant. Be. HERE."
    GUYS: "..........yes, sir."

    And they went. Actually went all the way to the OTHER END of the bar, bowed and defeated. Creepazoids can be so easy sometimes......

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again....Don't fuck with Jester or his friends!

    Jester my hero!!!!

    *hugs Jester for all the girls he saved from the creepy guys at the bathroom door*

    wish you were at my work last night when I was walking out to my car.

    our uniforms are NOT sexy at the photo lab, but some guys thought they were and was making lewd catcalls at me and kissy noises as I walked out to my car.

      Aislin, this is going to sound terrible, but that is not a situation I would have done anything about. Public parking lot, making noises, rude, yes, but not creepy like hanging out practically IN the women's room......hope this makes sense.

          Yeah, she was hot. And a rude mannerless thoughtless bitch. So fuck her. I don't play that game, hot or not.

            That's why I love my bar...no creepies.

                    Right. And THAT is perfectly acceptable. Had it been someone I knew, even vaguely, she probably would have gotten a pass. But when you DON'T know me? Bull.

                    Hell, had she simply said, "Hey, cool hat...can I try it on?" I almost certainly would have said yes. But to just take the hat off my head?!?! Um, no.

                    This reminds me of women (sorry girls, but it's always women) who will see me wearing one of my many goofy hats and ask, quite seriously, "Can I have your hat?" Excuse me, HAVE? No. It's my hat. Back off. Wanna try it on? Sure. Wanna know where to get one? Fine. Want a picture of you in it? No prob. But for me to just GIVE it to you?

                      Jester; my hero.

                      I've seen women ask for the bartender's hat before. Ya know, for keeps. I always wondered why so I finally asked one (this was when I was younger and not supposed to be in the bar, but it was the only place with pool tables and the manager said it was okay as long as we only ordered sodas and no one but him took our orders).

                      She said that the bartenders she knew ("leik, OMG, for reelz?" Vallygirl speak, before 1337 speak was so prevalent) would always give her their hats. She had a HUGE collection and wanted to collect hats from every bartender she met.

                      Weird? I thought she would go all Stalker-psycho on this dude. Dad saw it and told the manager. Dunno what happened after that.

                        This probably stems from the fact that so many doofy boys give their stuff to some chick just because they think they might get some. It's doubly stupid, because they rarely do, then they are hat-less to boot!

                        Good for you, Jester, that you see through the lies! Keep your hats, those hoes don't deserve them!

                          She should be happy you weren't the type of guy to try to wear her as a hat.
                          Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.

                          Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

                              Well, I HAVE parted with hats before. There were three reasons.

                              1. I got a hat in return. This happened once, several St. Patrick's Days ago. A girl and I saw each other's hats, liked the other one's better, and agreed to trade.

                              2. I got money. Usually for more than I paid for the hat.

                              3. I got something. Yes, girls have made out with me for my hat. No, I am not above that.

                              Hey, everyone has their price. I am no different. But I sure as hell am NOT giving away my goofy hats for free!

                              More like the tricorn, actually.....very much like it. Though I have a fancy one also with a feather as well, that is kind of a cross between the two pictures you posted.
