Drunk people are only obnoxious when you're sober.
I've noticed that a lot of people tend to get really depressed when they get drunk too. They all then decide that I look like a great therapist. Next thing you know, I'm trying to help a random person figure out his/her secret dreams while simultaneously staving off the vomit.
That is very true. The one and only time I agreed to babysit drunk people I had to both convince someone, that their life had meaning, and that it was probably best not to try to sleep with their head in the toilet. On the other hand if you are a little buzzed and someone else is taking the responsibility its all really entertaining.
I was out last night with some peeps and, as I sit here hanging over, I remember one gal who was just so obnoxious she had to be escorted out of the bar. Bad enough with a guy, but DAYUM. She was too much.
If you have ever had too much to drink, would you say you were/are a happy, tolerable drinker or a PITA (pain in the arse) drunk?
Know someone who is/was a PITA drunk?
One of my buddies dad is a retired machinist and drives cab part time for some extra cash. He sometimes works the late weekend shifts. He tells the drunks he pics up at the bar at closing time "puke in my cab, you are gonna clean it up"!LOL....... He is a old biker looking dude and the funny thing is, only one ever did!LOL........
I have a regular customer who's a PITA drunk. She's an attractive woman in her early 50's who's the salt of the earth when sober but horrible when she's drunk and she gets very drunk very fast. If it weren't for the fact that she has a very nice SO who can hold his liquor I'd shut her off in a heartbeat but they only live a very short distance away from my place and he gets her home safely. She repeats herself endlessly and within 10 minutes will tell you the same thing five times over then, worse, she gets belligerent with her SO and her verbal abuse (she's quite loud) is painfully embarrassing to listen to. She and the SO make plans to go out and half the time end up canceling because she's too messed up to go.
I finally had a bellyful the week leading up to Christmas when she was smashed the three times we saw her and wrote her a letter begging her to seriously consider getting off the booze in the New Year if only for the sake of her health. No doubt the letter went down like a zinc cupcake as we haven't seen her since we reopened after the New Year ...
She has a very good job which she's very good at and it's truly sad to see the horrible change that comes over her when she's smashed. She often brags that she starts of on beer in the office mid-afternoon and can go through a six-pack before leaving for the day, after which she starts on the margaritas. Too bad and too sad.
I had a supervisor who would come to work blasted. He would drink Everclear , chase it with a beer , and come to a job loading tires!! Surprisingly , he lasted there longer than I , who found greener pastures. I was a drinker on a 12X yearly basis , but I just grew out of drinking at all. That combined with the fact I have a cousin who is a testament to excessive drinking for extended periods. Even sober , he STILL reeks of beer!! It's like he just doesn't give a damn!! It's made him dumb to a degree....he quit his job last year because 'his coworkers pissed him off' !! In this economy!! He better count his stars and button his buttons he landed another!!
From what I've seen, it amplifies whatever mood they're in when they start drinking. If they're maudlin when they're drunk, they were depressed to begin with. If they're happy and outgoing, that's how they really feel inside already. If they're angry when they start, those are the ones that are going to pick fights with you while you're minding your own business.
I used to go out around town with coworkers. There was one who I ended up befriending. She liked to drink when we went out, but couldn't handle alcohol, AT ALL. She would be trashed after a couple of drinks. Those couple of drinks were basically all it took to push her from articulate, professional saleswoman to raving, wailing, flailing lunatic. My coworkers always argued over who was going to deal with her and would try to trick her into going home early or try to hide the fact that everyone was going out. After she and I started hanging out at work, everyone decided that I was now responsible for her.
Ugh. She was definitely an obnoxious drunk...she used to burst into tears, or curse at me and other people. She would refuse to go home and would run away down alleys to escape from me...I had to fight her to make her get into taxis. I got to witness her urinate in the street. At varying points in our friendship, I had to save her from accompanying strange guys home. And my favorite night was the one she tried to break into somebody's house. Yeah...
Back in my younger years (age 19), there was a time I became enrage and threw a fit in front of my mother and other people. The next thing it was me throwing myself on the floor, followed by throwing up all over the sink.
Present day (age 22): On the last couple of occasions I drank, I would either get overly happy to the point I threw my drink at this co-worker at a party. Luckily he didn't get mad at all. Recently I have rather become more tamer and quiet to the point I'm boring....
