| The drunk at the concert...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last night was my dd's end of year concert at her high school.
The kids worked hard all year on this. The teacher worked hard all year on this. It was two hours long, which is... well... LOOONG.
The husband and wife were sitting behind us, and the wife was as nice as could be.. But, the husband was DRUNK. But, it wasn't a typical drunk. This guy was an alcoholic drunk. If you've ever been around an alcoholic, you know "the smell". It's an old pickled smell, mixed with sweat.
Then he started making little comments, but, he was so loud. He meant to be quiet, but his idea of quiet was somewhat skewed by his inebriated state. So, when he whispered not only could we all hear him, we could smell him too.
At least three times, he said "Did we eat dinner?" "I'm hungry again" He mentioned a few times (and I agreed) "These seats need lumbar support and a reclining feature"
After about an hour, he forgot to even TRY to be quiet, and said "How many songs are left?" "OH GAAAAAD.... Seriously?"
He left. Came back 20 minutes later smelling of fresh beer.
Then when his son's band was on. (they were amazing BTW) he lit a lighter. In a high school auditorium.
It would have been more annoying, except that it was both amusing and sad. I felt bad for his wife, who was being nice, but you could see she just wished she'd left him at home so she could enjoy the concert. It must be like having a four year old that you have to keep amusing so he won't make too much noise.
Hot Fun in the Summertime! |
