I feel bad and I don't know why.....

[flammableBen]

Ended up in the only place open till late(r) on a sunday in exeter. Me and a my housemate were in timepiece having a few drinks. Went and got some cigges form the machine. Then went to ask the nearest somker if I could borrow her lighter.

That's the back story. Ended up that she was the helper lady for the disabled bird next to her. So while she was finding a lighter out of her bag I tried chatting to the wheelchair bird. She couldn't speak proprerly and really couldn't understand a word she was saying.

So I went back to chat with my mate and then she got her helper to wheel her over to our table. So I tried chatting to her for a bit, still couldn't understand a word she was saying. Got her helper to sit with us as well and bought them both a drink.

Helper lady said she couldn't understand her either, but the four of us sat there having conversation and I'd try and understand her when she was talking to me but still didn't get a word of it.

End of the night came along and I could undersand bits of what she said when the music was off, but agreed that we might go do a pub quiz with her next week.

I feel bad because she obvioulsy loved the attention of me trying to talk to her. But she wasn't  fit and I couldn't understand a word whe was saying.

I shouldn't feel bad because I didn't give her attention because I felt sorry for her she was just next to me while I was thiefing a lighter, didn't evem think anything of it.

Don't know if any of this makes any sence because I'm drunk. but basically I don't fancy the (very) dissabled bird but should I do the pub quiz next week? Wouldn't be a problem but she seemed to really like me, that might be myself presuming stuff anyway though. Argh Argh Argh.

I got myself into a very similar situation on a drunken night out in Oxford. Was dancing like a lunatic as per usual in Shark End, decided to try dancing with a group of 3 girls, one of whom was disabled. Was trying to play the nice guy card by chatting to the disabled girl first, before making a move for one of the other two, but suddenly found that she got very clingy.....followed me round the rest of the night and had to eventually leave empty handed :x

In response FB, i wouldn't bother

It make you sound like a decent chap and shes probably not used to people  bothering  to attempt conversation with her.Maybe you could set her up with Kinky Tom  

[flammableBen]

you're right, I should treat her like any other bird I don't fancy and just not go to the quiz.

Sorry, Ben.  That's one of the funniest things I've ever read
 


Yeovil's right, just makes you seem like a proper bloke :smile1:   And if you don't fancy her, you don't fancy her.

It's weird though because I havn't got a problem about chatting to anybody, wheelchair or weird haircut or green or oxford fan or brighton fan etc. I'm normally happy to ignore the attention of these fucked up people.

But I now feel bad that I felt bad because she was in a wheelchair, if that makes sence. It shouldn't have made a difference, but it did.

That's a whole lot of bad feeling Ben! To avoid further bad feeling, don't see her again and stop feeling bad about feeling bad, if that makes sense.

I imagine you as looking like a young Bob Dylan

Well at least having his curly hair.

Not relevant but there you go.

[flammableBen]

my hair is pretty straight bit it's quite long. My house mates call me kurt after that nivarna bloke, although I don't look that much like him .  It's Just because three of the other lads have been named jew, black and arab. Best I've come up with for the 5th bloke is scientolgist(sp), but that's because he's got tom cruise sun glasses when we are playing poker.

That all sounds a bit racist bit it's not really. Black is from india so he's not really black, Jew looks a bit like that semi-jewish OC dude and I've explained tom cruice. To be fair scientoligist hasn't really caught on so I might call him something else. No one calls Ed Arab either, got more hope of that one catching on than scientologist though.

Sure Nivarna nad some good tunes but I'd much rather have a religion/race nickname like every one else

[flammableBen]

Oh and I got 2 cans of fosters and a lighter out of the helper. So really a profitable night all round

[STFC Village]

They sell cans in nightclubs?

[flammableBen]

nah they'd won them in a quiz or something. I'm drinking the second one now although I could really do with another beer when it's gone. I wish beer could be sent through the internet, that way I could buy some online and then drink it now

[STFC Village]

Blimey, that was nice of her (helper), perhaps you should go to the quiz after all!

You sound like a borderline alcoholic Ben, still drinking at 3am on a Monday morning

[yeo]

Ben is skill.
