Haven't been out in quite a while so I thought I would go check out this watering hole I have not been to for years. Walk in,crowd was small but there were a few ladies to say howdy to. So I walk over to the bar and there is my old buddy/bartender from another joint back in the projects sitting at one end having a beer. One of the waitress's is seating people (covid thing) she yells to my buddy "Do you know this guy?" Paulie is like "Hell ya,send him over." There are 5 chairs at the section of the bar. Paulie is at one end,this shmuck is at the other.Paulie introduces me to the ladies and the girl behind the bar and this fug drinking buddy of his. I grab a stool and put my lid on the bar in front of an' empty stool beside me. I'm paying this guy no attention when my buddy says slide your lid over to me. I'm thinking he wants to check it out or something.He takes my lid and puts it on the stool between us. Now I'm finally hearing this jackA$$ as he begins to go off about disrespect and he doesn't wanna look at it (my lid) etc. Well I'm quik to boil and start poking my finger in his face saying he can go fug off. I tell him lets go. He beaks some more. Now I'm standing in his face making a puppet gesture with my hand telling him he's all mouth and nothing else. The girls are looking,the bartender, she's trying not to smile,etc. So whatever I figure. I ignore him,he appologises a couple times,I say whatever,just let it go. He keeps going on and I say to him that its time for him to leave and I'll be leaving with him. He has another beer,pays his bill and splits. My bro says just let it go. I'm like fine. Well at closing I ask the bartender whats the damage? (my bill) She say's its been taken care of. I say wow,thats a nice welcome to the neighborhood. She says,not me honey,that guy you threatened payed your bill. Too funny.
Anyway...the big question. Have I been living under a rock? What did I miss? This guy made himself out to be a big bad biker dude and that I should have left my lid outside on my bike. That my lid could be taken as a sign of a weapon. I'm not leaving my lid out in a bar parking lot. To bad for him.
Have I broken some biker code?
Rubb.
