Last night I went to a concert with my friend, we are both women over 45. We had been looking forward to it for months. Just as the band came onstage two tipsy guys took the seats next to us, they were probably late 30s, early 40s. Right away they started engaging us, yelling, high-fiving about the band and how it was the 16th or 17th time they had seen them. Then for the next hour they were in our space, body-checking and putting their hands in our faces, touching us and the women in front of us and basically demanding that we dance, not sit down, etc.
That was more or less ok, if a bit obnoxious. Then I went to get a drink and I was gone for awhile. When I got back, one of the guys had taken my place (next to my friend). He was chatting her up, and told me (not asked) that I move over to the aisle seat. My friend is giving me these looks like "help me," so I told him no, that we were here together and wanted to remain so.
So the two guys start whispering and I hear the dreaded term, c*** blocker uttered about me.
Really? Ok, so guys, what should I have done differently in this situation? She was not interested in either of them, plus they had wedding rings on!

They sound like fine specimens to me! Good lord - what is wrong with some people! One can only hope they were fake rings or something.
ugh. You can't win with drunk guys. And why would you care, anyway? Married drunk guys, at that. Just be glad you both got out of there safely, and without further ado. The guys probably passed out when they got home, and forgot all about it.
I think a lot of guys have an issue with the idea that women generally look out for each other. You're not going to let your friend get into an unsafe situation with a drunk stranger (especially if she's had a few herself,) and if the dude wants to complain that you're keeping him from getting laid, so be it. You'll never see him again anyway.
I didn't say they were drunk, I don't think they were. They seemed tipsy but that was an assumption I made initially. They were not drinking at all during the 3 hour show. So I don't think that was a big factor.
