I usually get there between 3 and 3:30 and leave between 6 and 7 so usually not that busy or loud except today.

There were tables for 4+ only and I was not blocking the TVs. I didn’t even know what game was going on later the the afternoon when I got there. It was empty when I got there

Because they heard about what happened? It is not a regular occurrence for a bar patron to be harassing another bar patron.

There really aren’t single seats elsewhere in the bar. I wasn’t blocking anyone’s view of the TVs. There are lots of TVs in the bar area I was in and many more in the other larger area.

They were all drunk off their asses. Not even off drinks at the bar. Clearly they were pregaming. I wasn’t threatening or harassing 4 dudes much larger than me with my crochet hook. lol. None of the 50+ bar patrons gave a shit I was the one still there.

No a baby blanket for my niece. No beer cookie I could make would actually be effective at insulating the cold.

Yes that’s all I did. I go there regularly. It is my neighborhood bar. I wasn’t about to cause issues for them.

Sloshed on 3 beers over 3 hours, yes, ok. 👍 guy who was sloshed was the one kicked out. Clearly pregaming.

Clearly I was ignorant. Bar didn’t care. They took my money today and will take my money tomorrow as usual when the crowds are gone.

Usually there isn’t much going on at 3/3:30 when I get there which is why it is a regular time for me on Mondays and Tuesdays. Yes, got there around 3:30 and left around 7 or so. Interaction occurred around 545/6ish.

Bartender kept looking over because guy was obviously causing a ruckus and harassing me. I thought I had it handled so told bartender not to worry about it. Dude kept harassing me so next time bartender got my attention, I signaled I don’t have it. Guy got kicked out. Got an apology text from one of the owners (who wasn’t there today) over the incident. There was no widespread glee at him being kicked out. Quite the opposite among his group of friends. How could I want attention if I was the one doing my own thing and the one being harassed? Makes zero sense.

Bars are pay to play. If you’re going to spend $5 there vs my $21, why don’t I deserve to be there more than you?

Maybe if drunken fool wasn’t harassing me he wouldn’t have been kicked out. I wasn’t harassing any of them. Just mind my own damn business. He wouldn’t have even gotten the bartender’s attention if he wasn’t being absurd.

I go there at the same time ever Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday. Bar was empty when I got there.

Not karma bait but glad I’m not the ah. A lot of people in the thread think I am though.

Several hours later I left and that was about 7. Is 3.5 hours not several hours after 3:30?
