so this is what happened
so, seriously, this is what happened. S and i went straight from work to a 7pm movie about nobel laureates' views on the world. so we were all dressed up from work and shit - not wearing jeans.
ok, so we took a detour and had 2 martinis each before the screening, no big deal. (settle down - we were fine, and the movie was great.)
afterwards, we went to a 'fancy' 'restaurant' (indebleu) for another drink. this was cool, until they kicked us OUT of the 'reserved' seating area that we had waited half an hour for. i was accepting of that - you know, they gotta make money, and groups with dudes are likely to spend more than a pair of chicas.
but THEN. THEN. THEN! THEN, we sat down, at 11.30pm, in a "reserved til 10pm" spot - which was by ALL calculations then free. about 5 minutes later, we were kicked out of that spot. as we left, i poured my drink on the floor. all over! i couldn't help it - it seemed like the right thing to do!
i am both proud and ashamed. i mean, i spent my $12 on that goddamn drink, and i poured it on the floor, and it felt GOOD. they deserved that kind of disrespect! kick us out of our seats twice! for no good reason! we were spending money!
it was the kind of motion that i forgot as soon as i did it - oops, drink spilled, no worries! but S caught me at the bar, paying the tab, and told everybody what i had done. so, i had to describe the injustices we had suffered, thus gaining many unsolicited cellphonenumbers. but i didn't solicit anyone to pay our unjust bar tab (which i paid with a 7% tip, becuase it is too hard to not tip at all).
anyway, i was right. but i know my mother will be horrified!
