--故事 #1--
My husband was a bartender for a restaurant back when we first started dating and there was a grandmother trying to set up her adult granddaughter with him. Every time he was working she would go on about how handsome he was and how good-looking a couple he would make with her granddaughter, and then as he would leave she would turn to the granddaughter and say things like “he looks like he would have a big penis.”
Eventually she directly asked him to take her granddaughter out and make her valentine’s day “special” and after he politely declined, explaining that he had a girlfriend, the grandmother replied “oh come on, forget about her! Now just how big a tip would I have to leave tonight….for my granddaughter to get that even bigger tip later” and she gestured at his pants. The granddaughter was mortified. A few awkward apologies from the granddaughter later, and the grandmother still had the audacity to write her granddaughter’s phone number on the bill with the message “if you change your mind”
--故事 #2--
I was 21 back then, first job as a bartender. The place was a typical dive bar. One of the plumbers that worked nearby was a regular. He was great, good stories, good jokes, decent tipper.
Anyway, she was a sloppy drunk. One night, they got into a fight. Suddenly, the husband turned to me and said, "she's always liked you, and I've had it, she's yours". He took off his wedding ring and slapped it down on the bar in front of me.
