Awkward Dinners

[Benjamin]

So tonight I met up with my friend like we do every week for dinner at a restaurant, however tonight she invited her friend who also brought their friend.

Now the friends friend was a little awkward from the start as I went to shake his hand and instead he hugged me (I've never met him before). Then during dinner he was quite annoying with dinner conversation when I asked him what he did for a living and he said a bit of everything and he likes to give to the world and teach them the spirit of living and immersing himself in the cultures (I actually had to stop myself from throwing out a comment in response to that) and I am still no clearer as to what it actually is he does.

Then when we all talking about travelling he was going on about New Zealand and how it is so culturally spiritual there and you can be at one blah blah (he has never been to NZ or travelling but I swear to God he sounded exactly like the 'Gap Year' man).

But the worst part of the evening was when he then started clicking really loudly and saying loudly 'Garcon, garcon, come on' to the waiter. I nearly lost my temper at this guy and had to walk out for a smoke to stop myself from giving this guy a much needed slap. He then started saying to the waiter that he was doing a good job and that somebody has to do this work, just being really condescending.

Everyone in the restaurant just looked in disbelief at our table and it was honestly the most awkward dining experience I have had in such a long time. i left the waiter a good tip and apologised about the guy's behaviour before leaving in sheer embarrassment.

Sounds like a right laugh

You should have slammed his head in to his plate.

[Jake.]

Did I say laugh? I meant twat.

[Benjamin]

You should have slammed his head in to his plate.

I would have loved to. He asked if me and my friend wanted to go for a drink with them as we left the restaurant, we made our excuses as to why we couldn't.

[Verbal]

Sounds like a Harry Enfield sketch

You do meet some twats in the course of your life!

I thought Orcs were the hugging kind?

[Benjamin]

Now you sound like a News of the World Reporter! :joker:

Honestly, I kept catching my friends eye and I knew she was thinking the exact same as me.

His best line that I forgot to mention was when he said 'he is at one with himself' which had no relation to the conversation at all.

Don't get me wrong, I'll hug my friends, but I have never met this guy before and a formal handshake is all that I require. He then made me hug him as we left.

[Benjamin]

under your table more like:joker:

Well, the night couldn't have been any more awkward. :laugh:

[Jake.]

The bit about him talking to the waiter was the cringiest part

[fingers]

When do you see him again?

[thesheriff443]

Don't get me wrong, I'll hug my friends, but I have never met this guy before and a formal handshake is all that I require. He then made me hug him as we left.

just a very open guy, or maybe it was a blind date that they set up for you:shocked:

[thesheriff443]

Well, the night couldn't have been any more awkward. :laugh:

:joker: I bet you where smoking like some one from the hamlet commercials.

[smeagol]

maybe he was trying to impress you and was after some bum fun. sounds very strange lol

i am at one with myself is what schizophrenics say lol

[fingers]

Maybe he was a secret agent for a foreign power and he hugged you to make sure you were not "wearing a wire"!

Edit: Pay no attention to smeagol, his mind is a cesspool!

[Livia]

Sounds like an insufferable prick. Well done on not slapping him around.

[Lee.]

Sounds like a pretentious prick who wants to be something he isn't. Should have stuck the heid in him.

[Shaun]

we went out to dinner once and literally everyone there knew that this guy was gay and in the closet, but he hadn't told any of us... I was the one that had to say we knew :( And he was okay about it and was basically trying to just shush us, because about 2 minutes after his parents picked him up :joker:

[Brother Leon]

You can just Sense the sexual tension.

[Niamh.]

Oh God, I hate people who act like dicks at restaurants, it's so embarrassing especially when you've worked in restaurants/bars yourself and know how annoying that kind of s**t is

[mizzy25]

I cant help but laugh @ this guy I would have been is he for real????
My worst one was in Scotland this year I was away with the whippets @ a big race event and loads of us went to the pub for a meal it was something like buy one get one half price. The restaraunt bit was full so we just said the bar was ok. Anyway some of the people I was with did nowt but complain really loudly that her burger was dry, it wasnt well mine wasnt. Then there was a mix up with a steak meal as it wasnt on the special offer thing, the person who got the 2 steaks never said anything but the person whose burger was dry was practically screaming that it should be half price etc etc and that how WE wouldnt be going back and how WE wouldnt be leaving a tip. Ive never felt so i dunno angry, embarrsed, infact I left my money told them they were all getting on my nerves and left.

[Kizzy]

Have to say I would have left too, probably right after the hug... My kids put hugs on their wish list at christmas, that's how frequently they're given.
