I’m writing this having a nap after a few beers in my belly after having got home from a night out. I was out at a local pub and had been told by local friends that I person in the pub was being aggressive and hostile to singers (including me) as they sang, unnecessarily criticising them like he was Simon Cowell on a professional night of judgement which I thought was was unfair and unnecessary.
I did not see the said person that was doing this but knew the person saying this was happening was being truthful and honest. So I joined in and had a go at him and challenged his behaviour . It got to the point where he was asking me to ‘step outside’ which is completely pointless I’m not that kind of guy. We finally shook hands and agreed to disagree after a heated discussion. I was told after said discussion that people would have intervened if needed while challenging this guy who hated people singing in the pub and let people know it.
If he had turned on me its likely we could have had a stupid fight but luckily he didn’t, the discussion I had with him saying everyone that gets up and sings on the night that I know sings from the hearts and there for he should not judge them for their singing ability resulted in the guts partner leaving and then he left after some heated discussion with me too.
I did feel bad for him after he left and we left on ok terms and shook hands instead of fists, but he is and will continue to be unpleasant to others in his head or under his breath or out loud1. But I feel I should not have stepped up and make his opinions my problems. I do feel right now a little set up to step into this situation and ultimately there were no winners with me stepping in and he looked old but very ready for a fight with me and I feel old and did not enjoy fighting in my teens let alone tonight. It was a car crash of a situation to be involved in and I do fee l feel relieved to now be home at last after this.
