Lose lose situations.

Chuck Stone · 19-08-2012 07:55PM #1

I was in the pub last night with the brother. I went to the toilet and when I came back there was a girl sitting in my seat. She knew that she was sitting in my seat but pretended that she didn't. My brother, who was minding the seat/pint, asked her to move but she pretended she didn't understand (foreign girl).

So I'm viewing this situation unfold and I tap her on the shoulder and say 'you're sitting on my seat' and she looks at me like she doesn't understand - so I point to my arse and point to the seat and gesture for her to move.. nothing.

If it was a bloke I would have been a little more forceful but because it was a female I knew I couldn't win. I know I could have called the security staff but then I'd have eneded up looking lika a complaining gobshite and I value my reputation more than I value sitting down.

So I walked away. I beckoned the brother and said let's move and went to another part of the pub (Crane Lane). We had a laugh anyway and the move was good ultimately but it was certainly one of those lose/lose situations.

Got any lose lose situations to share?

Why didn't you deck your brother for giving your seat away?

Did you get her number?

Read this as "loose loose situations".

Very disappointed OP!

My brother obviously thought that she would be a reasonable person and move when I came back I guess.

I was caught between a rock and a hard place once. That was a real lose/lose situation.

Nope. It was the end of a bench and the place was busy. That's not the issue though.

Even if there were a hundred stools and plenty of room the issue remains.

I would have kicked your brother out of his seat when he went to the bathroom. Foreign chick and new seat. That's a win win.

Should have stayed there and spilled your drink accidentally on her

Well blame him and not the girl.

He didn't guard it for you.

ask if you can have your chewing gum that you left on the seat back. when she stands up, you get your seat back and she is left running in tears to the bathroom. then you get a pint and laugh about it and its a lose lose win situation

She wasn't attractive (physically at least).

Its a bar, people take peoples seats all the time. I really dont get the issue here to be honest. If it was anyones fault it was your brothers!

My brother is guilty of thinking that she would be a reasonable person and get up when I came back. What's he to do? Punch anyone attempting to sit down in the face?

We're reasonable people - the seat thief wasn't. Lose lose situation.

I walked into the worse pub in Ilford in London with a girlfriend and ordered 2 drinks I took 2 sups and went to the jax while my friend went to the cigarette machine. As I was coming back I seen a guy just stretch over and grab my pint.

I said that's my pint, he said, no its not my mate bought it for me, I seen you take it, you didn't mate, do you want to take this outside.

I knew it wouldn't have been just me and him it would have been me him and his mates.

I was totally snookered and knew the only thing I could do was swallow my pride and leave. Although I did the right thing it bugged me for about a week.

aaronjumper · 19-08-2012 08:08PM

If someone asks me to mind their seat I'll throw my legs up on it.
Does it look rude? Yes. Does the seat stay taken? Yes.
