I was gearing up for a pretty low-key Saturday night. The university pub here has trivia Saturday nights and I showed up just before it started. Now the pub is also running this "beer crawl" thing where every week for about 10 weeks you drink the beer-of-the-week, cross your name off a list, and then at the end you get a t-shirt.
So I show up and ask for the beer-of-the-week. The bartender says that they are out, and some woman behind me reading a newspaper says something along the lines of "yeah, we ran out of it during happy hour." So I say OK, I'll just have a Sam Adams, but can you cross my name off the list. The bartender says he doesn't know if he can do that, and then the woman laughs and tells me no - I'll have to come back and actually buy the beer-of-the-week to get my name crossed off.
I told her I thought that was BS. Note - I used the word bulls**** but I was totally calm and not aggressive at all. She says "what did you say to me?" So I repeated that I thought it was BS. Then she tells me she thinks I need to leave, and how in 10 years no one has ever spoken to her that way. It turns out she was the owner, although she never actually said so.
I thought about arguing but I figured it wouldn't go anywhere so I left. Now I am wishing there was some way I could get some revenge.
So did I cross the line or is this just some hypersensitive b**** on a power trip? And what am I to do about it? Thoughts?
