Lasses and etiquette on a night out

[CatRyan]

No excuse

I tend to agree. I was just trying to suggest a reason for her behaviour.

Seems an odd thing to do unless you are about to soil yourself

 

[PinzaC55]

I was in a bar and the toilets were upstairs (and no, it wasn't a Wetherspoons). A very narrow staircase meant only one person could go up or down at a time.

I headed for the toilets' stairs and a lass was on her way down so I stood back to allow her to come down.

A second lass then pushed ahead of me and started to climb the stairs. I said "what are are you playing at?" but was ignored. She was blocked by the first lass coming down and retreated down the stairs to allow her down.

I said "I told you so, I stood back to let her down.", but the second lass still insistsed on remaining in front of me to head up first.

I grabbed her gently by the shoulders and moved her to one side, saying "I was here first." and headed up the now clear stairs.

Once I've finished my toilet duties and emerged, there's a brief altercation between me and the second lass.

Should I had still allowed the second lass up first and been the bigger man or would it have made me look like a doormat?

Would the right thing to do been to let the second lass up first rather than make a fuss?



Another (more serious) argument is that me moving her to one side could have been construed as common assault.

It sounds as though you were drunk and hence letting trivial things get to you. Drink less or drink in places which have a better clientele. Or toilets on the ground floor.

Maybe she was about to have an incident and was rushing to the toilet?

So was I come to that.

I'd only had two pints at that stage.

Block her passage or toss ya self off dilema.

I use the disabled toilets, 5 pints and vertiginous heels don't take too well to two flights of stairs to the toilet.

The offenders register beckons...

You behaved impeccably, sir. And the harridan that tried to barge past you should have been reminded of her place in society with a slap.

 

[Deleted member 30853]

Both as bad as each other. Getting wound up (and grabbing someone) by having to wait an extra couple of seconds ffs.

I didn't get wound up as such, but pointed out the situation that I'd got there first and was standing back for the lass coming down.

That said, me moving her aside to take my original place after her being rude was in itself possibly to be seen as wrong and two wrongs don't make a right.

I should have probably let her go up first after making my point or better saying nothing.

Two things could have happened. Lads misreading the situation could have ploughed in on her side or she could have claimed I assaulted her, not my intention.

I do wonder if this is similar to how Gazza got in trouble. A female opinion I've received is I was right to make a protest but stepped over the line moving her to one side as that could have got me into trouble, whatever the original rights and wrongs.

She just may have been lonely and was just grabbing your attention, looking for love?

Full props for use of the word "vertiginous"

 

[Butcher's Coat]

Should have put lion shite in her handbag.

 

[Gala]

Only pushed her out of the way so he could look up the skirt of lass one coming down the stairs.

 

[THELORDRODWELL]

Op was too soft

Should have chucked her over the stairs

 

[DurhamRedStripe]

You sound soft as shite mate.

 

[Deleted User 2893]

OP is bit of a two can van damme by the sounds of it

 

[Alcoholic_Author]

1. Let her take pole position
2. Standing rear naked choke

 

[Bishop Mackem]
