   I think i'm starting to run out of ideas for your folks to talk about.  however, here's a good one.  your at a bar, and you ask for another drink then the bar tender responds by giving you the bird so to speak.  what would you do?

      Well for one, I wouldn't leave him a tip! Of course no one does such a thing without reason, so it's hard to say exactly what I would do. It depends on the circumstances.

    I used to work in a bar, it was very respectable and smart with a restaurant attached so popular with diners. Anyhow,  one night I declined to serve a man who had had way too much to drink and was making far too much noise. And I was in charge of the bar that night, so it was my perogative. Besides, I was thinking of myself, as serving intoxicated people is actually not allowed. I did this very politely, though, and explained why. And said he was welcome to come back another time.
    
    This man didn't really say much, but then another girl who was actually his daughter, suddenly popped up and lost the plot entirely.She started shouting and swearing, throwing ash trays at me and the friend i was working with and then proceeded to try to attack us with pool cues. Also, pulled out some of my friends hair. And she hadn't even been drinking! We had to call the police - she was arrested and had to go to court. Sometimes the customers just aren't right after all!!

    I would look blankly at him and then puke on his hand.  That finger always gags me.   Then while he was cleaning it up, I would stick a piece of wood in my mouth and have a seizure. While he was trying to help me in my seizure, I would flail and kick him in the groin.  Then I would punch myself in the nose and bleed all over the place.   After that, I would get in my car and run it through the wall of the place.  When the crowd scattered, I would grab the karaoke microphone and sing "I will Survive."  After which I would be thirsty so I would have to order another beer and see what happened this time.
