Awkward Dinners
 

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.

Did I say laugh? I meant twat.

we all have to take one for the team, just be glad its not family.

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.

Sounds like a Harry Enfield sketch

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

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

you know we are all some one else's twat:joker:

ben was dressed as a sheik:joker:

Speak for yourself! :dance:

denial

the hug sounds the weirdest thing a clear sign of a nutter lol

What a mess

or a tree hugger

I thought Orcs were the hugging kind?

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.

I knew you were at the table next to me. :tongue:

under your table more like:joker:

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.

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

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

When do you see him again?

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

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