DRUNKEN ASSHOLE

That TOTALLY sucks, A. Although, since there was no money in it and the guy gave you a ride home, he might just return it of his own volition.

Or he hasn't found it yet, and will contact you when he does?

You keep 3 years of movie stubs in your wallet?

anyways, good luck locating the wallet.

Anthony, it sounds like there was enough info to get it back to you one way or another. I hope you find it.

wasn't sure what thread to put this in (and it doesn't really fit) (and i hope anthony got his wallet returned) but had a WEIRD saturday night, thanks to some drunken asshole, and need to share.

was in tooting at a pub where my brother's band were playing a gig. about twenty or so of our friends turned up and because it was hot, after they played we congregated outside the pub, in groups of threes and fours. after a while or so, this clearly drunk dude stumbled over to us, and slurred that he'd been frozen out of all the other groups of people to talk to. i didn't know him, neither did my other two friends, but we figured somebody did (turned out later no one did). he barged in, and started calling my friend "chelsea clinton", because she wears glasses. he continued being obnoxious and kind of aggressive.

anyway, he pretty much behaves as if our friend sarah ("chelsea clinton") isn't there, and continues antagonizing my other friend and i, badgering us to tell him our names, ages, our jobs. we tell him he's rude and we don't want to talk to him, but he ignores us, so we gently wind him up while he jabbers away. he tells us he's 32, that he's a tory councillor/failed tory council candidate (couldn't get the story straight), correctly assumed we were lefty tossers, and gets in our faces about being 'communists'.

i don't live in the area anymore, but my friend does, so when this dude revealed he was (failed) tory councillor (candidate), my friend laughs and says, "oh yeah, you lot got slaughtered by sadiq khan" (tooting is heavily asian/indian area; tooting tory candidate was also indian, although the whitest looking indian i ever saw, his name is Mark Clark or something). drunk guy gets all angry and says "yeah, that N***** fucker", and we all get pretty fucking pissed at the dude and tell him to get lost and leave us alone. at first he's all obnoxious about it, accusing us of being all PC and "oh, you don't like it when people say stuff like that". then he remembers that I'd told him i was a journalist, and that i wrote for the guardian (albeit about music), and starts shitting himself, and begging me not to tell anyone what he said. i tell him i have no interest in him or talking about him or to him and could he just fuck off and leave us alone, but he keeps freaking out. another friend turns up, steals his attention, and we sneak off to leave the loser on his own.

about ten minutes later, he attacks another friend - a big dude you don't really want to fuck with, and who'd already warned him to stop hassling us all. i mean, physically attacked him, grabbed him by the throat. my friend threw the drunk guy to the ground and pinned him, and told him in no uncertain turns that he should go home or they'll get the police on him. drunk dude's mate - who's been following the drunk dude around and apologising to us all, saying he's going through a divorce and having a bit of a breakdown - steps in, picks him up and they walk away.

freaky shit. i have no idea whether he was bullshitting or not about being a tory councillor, or a failed candidate for same - we attempted to google him later, and found someone with the same first name who worked for the tooting branch of the party, but it could just be another dude with the same first name. i guess i wouldn't be surprised if he was.

still. what a drunken asshole.
