Thank you for assisting that woman.
Apparently, when he refers to ‘Yogi’, he’s referring to you because you have the word ‘bear’ in your user name.
Because it’s goddamn annoying. All of these people who know sooooooo much better than the OP weren’t there. It’s all well and dandy to spout “should have/could have/would haves” now, but the fact is, it did work out, so what’s the point? Just to be proven right.
What’s the point? I’m not even sure what you mean by that. He came on here and told a story of a thing he did. Part of what he did was great, but a whole lot of what he did wasn’t. Why should we not be allowed to comment on that? Doing a good thing for the woman doesn’t give him a full pass to be an absolute jerk to someone who wasn’t even there, and if all he wants is a pat on the back for being a basic decent human, then I really don’t think he picked the right way to seek it.
Both you and the OP have put out all or nothing scenarios that make it seem like you think his only choices in this situation were to scream and swear and threaten people like a maniac, or do absolutely nothing. The point, I suppose, is that there are an awful lot of other options that would have been equally (and probably far more) effective than what he did do, and calling him on that doesn’t seem even a little bit unreasonable to me. Are you honestly suggesting that the only appropriate response to this story is to say “Way to go, champ!” and that any deviation from that is pointless and annoying? That’s, well, weird.
More because it is Banquet Bear. Just imagine if he’d gone with Shoo Bear.
And yet you blithered on as if you did, in fact, know that I was talking to you.
Tell ya what; Google and skip down until you see a bear. Does that make it easier?
Sincerely;
Boo-Boo
Anyone that is interested can read the post directly above this one.
I did not post the story to get accolades. I posted it because the Pit is where you can get pissed off and swear.
The 'Pit is where you go to vent -even in its current pussified form - and vent I did.
If you’ll be so kind as to check my posts you’ll see that I haven’t basked in adulation, and I have accepted criticism and explained myself as best I could.
Check my links and you’ll see that I was replying in good-humour.
You, JerkMan and Yogi went beyond the pale.
I copped to fucking up right off the bat.
But self-righteous lackwits must step in - repeatedly.
So, alright, self-righteous lackwit, you’ll bear the brunt. I hope you like martyrdom - keep in mind a cross only has room for one.
Dear Elret <– Jesus wept, even your name is weak and meaningless.
Let me correct a few misconceptions:
- Obviously there is a difference between, “What the fuck!?!” and “Pray pardon good sir.” I’m glad that you picked up on the difference. Bully for you, gnaw on your cookie along with the rest of the circle-jerk crew.
Of course if you wait a bit the cookie won’t be near as tough. I hope you win.
- You, and your cohorts, seem to think that I’m sitting at the keyboard banging away at buttons in fury at your insightful commentary and barbed ripostes.
I assure you that I’m not.
Rather, I’m practicing invective while wondering why you’d expect rational discourse in the one place that rational discourse is - somewhat- discouraged you fucking widget.
- My approach - with assaulting-guy - worked. Argue with the results.
And, of course you will, in the mildest, most impotent way you can.
But then why should your internet persona differ meaningfully from your real persona.
Why bend like a willow when you can stand like an oak for $3 a pill?
Are you as financially starved as you are mentally?
- I said I fucked up - multiple times. Learn to fucking read <– you too Yogi and Jack-can’t-be-bothered.
So you’re beating not only a dead horse but one who has said, time and time again,
“I’m fucking dead shit-for-brains!” <— Of course if he can say that he isn’t dead enough yet is he? Smack him again.
I leave you with one final thought,
“The history of controversy is largely the history of imbeciles missing the point” <— Editor at my university newspaper.
Ruminate on that you fucking yak.

TLDR
Neither did they.
Wait a minute–misbehavior by someone in a limo party??? SHOCKING. Next, you’ll tell me you saw someone acting like a douche at a nightclub bottle service table.
Im glad the OP gave the woman a chance to get away.
As for the limo driver, maybe the customer was a big customer and he didn’t want to get fired. Im not even sure if it his job to police the clients behavior as long as it doesn’t interfere with his ability to drive the vehicle safely. These are guys being paid a little above minimum wage plus a tip to drive assholes around town for no productive reason.
OR—the guy you called WAS the driver and owned the limo, already knew what happened, and doesn’t appreciate you trying to shut his business down.
I appreciate your sense of justice, but getting angry at a limo company for allowing one of its passengers to assault a woman seems to me like calling the owner of a dive bar the next morning because you saw drunks stumbling out their front door the night before.
…you come back after two days and that is the best you can come up with? Mocking me because of my user name?
Just learn to calm the fuck down. Joyous didn’t do anything to earn your mockery and truth-be-told neither have I. I haven’t personally attacked you, I attacked your actions. You haven’t addressed my criticisms (which I will accept as a concession that you don’t actually disagree with anything I said) or anyone else’s opinion for that matter: the only response you can muster is to lash out and call people names in a largely incoherent manner.
And the more you type the more hyperbolic you over-react, the more I don’t actually believe the story you wrote in the OP. I’m sure something happened. But it probably wasn’t an assault. You are an angry unreliable narrator.
Physically restraining and shaking a woman against her will… wouldn’t that be assault and battery and possibly unlawful imprisonment?
I’m not very good at the specific charges; I wish someone with more direct experience could list all the charges the passenger(s) could have been charged with. Also, if the driver could be listed as an accessory before the fact or accessory after the fact.
Bonus Points in the Charge Them Perps Game: Would the limousine company have liability for any damages if:
- The driver observed his passengers were becoming violent and he did nothing?
- The passengers became violent under his direct observation and he did nothing?
- If the driver helped to ‘cover it all up’ by getting them (his passengers) out of there before the police arrived?
The Fall Line-Up Sucks. Humor me. 
“…you come back after two days…” Hey, you managed to get one of those calendar things and even got someone to teach to how to use it. Yay for you!
I’ve been mocking you for a number of reasons, including your name. You really don’t read too good do ya?
As to your criticisms (such as they are) I’ve addressed then multiple times in that I said I acted poorly.
Are you really this stupid or is an act you put on in order to make everyone else feel better by contrast?
I am calm you fucking button-head. It takes slightly more than some pixels on a screen to make me angry. Seriously Yogi you have a somewhat elevated opinion of the value and effect of your… opinions.
I’ve been called a number of things in my life - some of them even flattering - but “angry unreliable narrator” is a new one. A sad and pitiful one, but new. So I guess you deserve some sort of credit for that.
Now grab your fucking pic-i-nic basket and wander off into the woods you fucking slug.
It seems to me, based on your previous Pit thread, that you hit zero to sixty in no time at all when interacting with members of the public- and that you don’t take criticism well. You do sometimes come across as a bit unhinged, particularly when you verbally attack strangers on a message board who didn’t follow your party line. If these incidents are accurate descriptions of your daily life, I’d be way more worried about randomly encountering you on a tear out in public than some drunk guy outside a limo.
Have you put any thought whatsoever into getting a throwaway cell phone? Both of these incidents could have been avoided if you or your wife or heck, even your five year old had a cell. The other week, I intervened in a domestic dispute in front of a Metro station (granted, I didn’t lead with ‘da fuq?’ so maybe I did it wrong), but you better believe I had my phone out and visible before I did so, because despite my relative comfort in defending myself, I would prefer that my other half not get a call from the hospital.
What is your going rate for such scintillating psychoanalysis?
I just want to know so I can bounce you a cheque.
…I really feel sorry for your family.
Good luck with life.
Jesus Christ.
If this is really you being calm, then you have issues and might want to consider seeking professional help. And no, I’m not being flippant.
If you treated the limo boss the way you’ve treated everyone here that dared to disagree with you, it’s no wonder he was shitty with you. If I’d have been in his position, I’d have reacted exactly the same way. You sound like a confrontational, angry prick spoiling for a fight, and that’s just going by your version of events. I dread to think how the conversation actually went.
Now I know by daring to criticize you I’m probably opening myself up to some of your insane, bile filled ranting, but go ahead if it makes you feel better. I really don’t give a shit. 
In fact, to make life easier, here’s some ammo you can use against me:
*In spite of my user name, I’m neither angry (especially not compared to you, anyway) or a badger. How dumb of me.
*I’m British. Make of that what you want.
*I’m a male and have long hair. I probably think I’m really edgy or something, right?
Have at it. 
So, I’m guessing you don’t support the badger cull?
Why do you think he’s angry??
