Over ten years ago, after the much larger girl who threatened to kick my ass for a perceived pass on my part towards her fugly boyfriend:
Storm: (standing up from her seat, looking Big McBitchy straight in the eye and speaking in a very calm, normal tone of voice) “Come and get me, bitch, if you think you can.”
:eek:
On any other day on which I *wasn’t * insane, I’d have told the girl no, I wasn’t groping your (gak!) boyfriend, sorry if you thought I was, can we all just get along?
But I was in a tremendously bad mood which had juuuust started to improve by imbibing a couple of nice Everclear margaritas with some friends. Then Big McBitchy came along past our table and started ranting about how I’d grabbed her boyfriend’s ass as we had walked by going to our table.
“Bwa?” said I. “I think you’ve got the wrong person, I did not grab anyone’s ass. I think you might be mistaken.”
Big McBitchy, sloppily drunk: “Yes, you did! I saw you do it!” Meanwhile, the boyfriend is shaking McBitchy’s shoulder, telling her to stop it, that no one grabbed his ass, what the hell is she talking about?
“You did do it and you’re a liar! I should kick your ass right here and now!”
At which point I stood up and delivered my comeback. I think I looked just a tad unhinged at that point and she backed off with a little help from Fugster the Boyfriend.
“I catch you trying to grab him again and I’m not gonna back off next time!”
Storm: “Okay, you do that.”
Don’t know where I got the (ahem) cajones, but it worked.
Oh, yeah. It was the alcohol.
