A Happy Hour story

May 20, 2022, 2:36 PM

Yesterday, I went to my somewhat regular Thursday Happy Hour in Mt. P with my buddy. His wife decided to join us but hadn't arrived yet.

The bar was a little more crowded than usual, and one man started talking very loud and angrily just a few seats down from us. The rest of the bar quieted as he said loudly, "This is why I don't carry a ####### gun on me at all times because I would shoot stupid mother ####### like that!"

The source of his ire turned out to be a guy he witnessed park in a handicap spot at the shopping area right next to the bar. The man got out with his kids and went into one of the shops.

"This is why I need to carry a baseball bat cause I'd go out there right now and smash his windshield!" the man said. "I'm gonna key his ####### car when I leave!"

More spots opened up near the man and his friend, so my buddy and I moved there to make room for my friend's wife. I get a good look at the two guys; both older and very round fellas. The angry man had somewhat of a Mr. T starter kit on. It wasn't hard to determine they were from Ohio. On the other side of us, someone they knew, wearing an Ohio State hat, had gone out to inspect the vehicle and give a report.

"He has the tag on his mirror," their acquaintance said.

"########! He had too much of a spring in his step," the angry man said. "Probably took his wife's car. Or maybe he's handicapped for being stupid!"

I'm enjoying this immensely. It only made sense for us to strike up conversation with them.

We start talking with his friend, who isn't angry about the situation but also sees no problem with his buddy's rage, and start swapping some unrelated stories. I'm in mid-story when the angry man gets up and charges for the door. I pause. We turn around.

The driver had returned to the car to get something.

He steps out side and we can hear him holler something at the guy. The driver smiles at first, then he starts patting portions of his body as if to indicate why he is handicapped. The two then begin to shout heated words at each other. About that time, my friend's wife walks up. By her body language, we can tell she's now wondering if she is safe to walk between these two men. She comes inside, a little freaked out.

"I hope someone's not about to get shot out there," she said.

The angry guy's friend is laughing.

Eventually, the driver storms away and the angry man comes back in. I wonder if the driver is going to call the police. I quietly hope he is because I want this to go to the next level.

"That ####### piece of ####," Angry Man shouted.

"What'd he tell ya?" I asked.

"Trying to tell me he's got metal here and here and here from being in the Army," Angry man said in a mocking tone, patting the different parts of his body. He sits down and returns to his drink. "I was in Vietnam and people like that #### me off. You don't need to park there if you can move like that. Let someone else who needs it park there!"

"What did you tell him?" my friend asked.

"I told him if I ever see him parking in a handicap spot again, I'll beat his ### so badly that his own wife won't want to #### him ever again!"

Everyone laughed. This is the best entertainment I've seen all week and I'm hoping for an escalation. But also hoping one veteran doesn't shoot another veteran, you know, right in front of us in broad daylight.

"When he comes back out, I'm gonna let him hear it again!" Angry Man said.

But he didn't pay close enough attention. The driver hurried back out to his car and drove off--not sure what happened to the kids. Maybe he decided to move it to a regular spot away from the bar. Angry Man voiced his frustration at not getting another shot at him, but laughed it off anyway.

"When you're an old ### Vietnam vet like me, you say and do what you want!"

I cannot confirm whether or not this was Chesty.
