(15,526 posts)It USED to be a friendly little place about 15 years earlier which was the last time I'd been in there -- people singing karaoke and the like.
I should have turned around right away, but I figured I'd get a beer at the bar first. Then the lunatic approached me and told me how he'd never seen me in there before. He tried to sell the place to me, saying I should become a regular there. I'm VERY white and I keep my hair short because I'm pretty bald on top anyway, so maybe he thought I looked like a skinhead or something? That's when he started his racist and anti-Obama commentary. After I politely disagreed with him, he eventually glared at me and walked back to his group of buddies sitting in a corner. I figured that was the end of it.
I walked home from the hospital the next morning. It was in the middle of a mostly AA community, and there were guys there who acted kind of happy to see that I was bruised, puffy and covered in dried blood. None of them assaulted me, though! It still made thoughts go through my head like, "I can't win!"
Anyway, bars are bad news period. I thought I was done with them years ago, but that last experience was the final straw! I might still go inside a drinking establishment if it's mostly a restaurant, I guess.
I almost forgot to mention... the cops who found my unconscious body outside walked inside to ask what happened to me, and people said I was acting crazy and I hurt myself outside! The cops believed them! Well, it's more likely they just didn't give a damn about doing a real investigation.
