I only avoid angry drunks, this guy is just #$#%faced as he says... This woman was more kind than she needed to be, and hopefully they both got where they needed to be.
I hear you about angry drunks.
I went out partying years ago with a group of people I knew, and a guy came with us who I had met over the years on various occasions. He was decent enough the times I met him when he was sober, but...when he drank, and he did heavily, he became extremely aggressive and unpredictable.
The problem was, he was 6’4” and about 280, and while he was overweight and had a large gut, he still retained some significant musculature from his high school football days, and had been a bouncer, etc.
I’ll be honest, I avoided the guy if there was drinking, but he showed up with this group, so...I figured I would just stay out of his way.
As we walked into this huge dance club with hundreds of people wall to wall, we were making our way through the crowd, I was right behind this guy, when he and a big guy coming the other way bump hard into each other.
They turned and faced each other, and Jesus Christ, the looks on both of their faces looked like imminent violence! I held my breath, sure we were going to have to run out of that place, but after a second or two longer than I felt was safe, his countenance changed, and he said “Hey. How ya doing?” Then they parted and walked on.
He was so unpredictable. After that, I went to a concert with a large group of which he was a part. We had to sit on the grass in the pouring rain, and I left for a while. When I was making my way back to the place where everyone else was, a group of security people with flashlights went hurriedly by, and they turned and went up the direction where the group was sitting.
I was clueless, and thought “Great! These guys are forcing the crowd apart and I can follow in their wake!”
Well, they left me in the dust, and when I got to where my group was supposed to be, I looked around in the pouring rain in vain, streams of water running down the hill I had come up.
My eyes focused on the group of security people with a hysterical woman in their midst, and as I looked, she suddenly pointed at me and said “HE WAS WITH THEM!”
The security people came over, and I denied knowing any of those people and left.
I went straight to the car, and some of the people were back...I asked what the hell happened, and someone said he just whipped it out uphill from a couple and took a piss on the hill, and water flowing down hill as it was, made a path to that woman.
I never saw the guy again after that. That guy was so unpredictable and out of control when he drank, he scared the hell out of me.
To this day, if I am in a group with an angry drunk, I just leave. Happy drunks I am fine with.
