Bros regulating bros
Just want to share this small event I witnessed last night. My wife and I stumbled out of Mary Ellen's around 130am (I think)? We were waiting for an Uber, we had no walk left in us.
Group of "kids" were sitting in the curb about 30ish feet from the door. Towards Duval. A woman maybe late 20s was walking down from Duval, bag of food or something, on the phone.
I'm not 100% sure she realized what happened. One of the kids got up and, drunkenly, stumbled toward her, maybe 20ft got as close as 20ft from her. "Hey. Hey! I got a question. Hey!" Walking after her. She's about to cross in front of my wife and I. She's maybe not hearing or doing a good job ignoring. I say to myself if he walks another 20ft he'll be in front of us and I'm stepping in to cool him down.
One of the dudes he's with yells at him "bro, no, what are you doing. Sit your ass down." And the drink kid turned back and protested slightly with what sounded like "what? She's hot I wanted to" "no! Don't do that." I couldn't make it all out.
It's a shame seeing this interaction impressed me so much. It's the bare minimum guys can do to keep our bros in check. And it shouldn't need to happen at all bc guys shouldn't be harassing women just minding their own business. But it was nice to see and wanted to share.
Besides that, why the hell do so many places close early on Saturday nights? Maybe that's for another post.
