And everybody kinda steps aside for her, like the Red Sea, or whatever – just clears a path for her, and I’m like, “what’s with this nut job.”
But you don’t even know this woman.
Never seen her before. I was just sitting there with Reema– Do you remember Reema?
No
She’s a friend of mine. I was sitting there with Reema, and suddenly this lady is in my face. And she’s all sweaty and yelling and really pissed.
Why?
I don’t even know at this point. It has something to do with her boyfriend, who’s at the other end of the bar.
Were you flirting or–?
No, I don’t even know who she’s talking about. So she’s all up in my face, and her breath is like–
Boozy?
Yeah boozy, but even worse, you know, like there’s something rancid stuck to the roof of her mouth.
Ew
Rotting peanut butter or something.
Good Lord, Izzy.
And she’s harassing me, and blowing her stank-breath in my face. And cussing. My God, you wouldn’t believe the words that came out the lady’s mouth.
And you don’t even know who she’s talking about.
She’s talking about her boyfriend.
No, I know but–
Auggie.
Oh. I thought you didn’t know who she–
No, at the time I didn’t know who she was talking about, because I didn’t know he was there. But then I figured it out later, “Oh, she must be Auggie’s girlfriend.”
So you know him.
Yeah, I know him, but still. Lemme finish.
I’m sorry.
So she’s all “you bitch, you. Fuck you, you bitch.”
Izzy–
Sorry, “F-U, you B” and all that. Just talking like a maniac.
Uh-huh
And people are looking at us, so I’m starting to feel self-conscious.
Of course.
And she’s just going off, and I can’t really do anything because the place is so crowded you know? And I’m starting to feel violated, you know?
Sure
My personal space, and my dignity, or what have you, so I just made a first, hauled off, and BOOM!!
What does that mean?
It means I hit her.
No you didn’t.
Crazy, right?
You hit her?
Yeah. Right in the face, BOOM. She went down.
Oh my god, Izzy – you hit that woman??
I couldn’t get around her. And she was screaming like a bitch.
Izzy–
What would you have done?
Well I certainly wouldn’t have hit her. Jesus.
