You are a lucky man in that you got help, are you would be on the news. Man Running around city half naked, and shit all over him. "Stay tuned"
Rob, , I swear the same thing happened to me and I still will not go to a restaurant unless it is somewhere I am comfortable enough to frequent, it is totally empty, or I am drunk!
I was on a first date with a really hot girl in 1985 and was so sick, I had to pay the bill in the bathroom. I never got to eat with her, had to take her straight home, and never saw her again!
Ben, I feel for you! However, trust me, something like this happens to everyone at some time in their life.
As funny as this is (and it really is), I think we can all understand the situation!!!!

Good advice Mona, I think that a woman's view on this is needed. ben, I feel so hoorible about this incident for you. But the way you retell the story, is almost hard not to laugh at it because it was something that you would see in a movie of some type. But it is too wild not to be believable. I don't think anyone would be able to make up that story.

I decided to give Karen a call today and see about patching things up - and try to explain the turn of events which lead to her being abandoned in a public restaurant, stiffed for the bill and having to pay for a taxi home; so I dialed the number - after the third ring, I hung up. Sometimes it's better to just let sleeping dogs lie.

Thats why I alsways have a cell phone with me. Then I could have called from my cara nd had someone inform my date that I had an emergency and had to stop home and would return ASAP. That would have maybe saved you.

The problem here is that I did have a cell phone (two, in fact) - but that it was in my (checked) suit jacket, so as not to interfere with dinner.

As luck would have it, I ran into Karen tonight and it didn't go well.
I was actually in another restaurant (Amante Pizza, where footgirl Summer used to work), trying to make an impression with a charming dinner companion from Kirkland.
In walks Karen with another girl, strolls past our booth, spots me and stops. I glanced up from the menu and said (nervously) "Oh, uh, well, hello Karen, how are you tonight?"
In the middle of my sentence, she YELLS at the top of her lungs "EAT SH..T you F..KING AS..HOLE!!!" and continued walking to her table. I tried to pass it off, glancing back to my dinner companion and saying something like "Do you know they still use a coal fired stove here?"
A million people in the city and I have to pick the same restaurant as Karen, on the same night. What would the odds be of that??? CRAP!

I appreciate that and I may take you up on it. What made it even worse is that my dinner companion began wondering more and then getting insistent on me telling her "what I had done" to make Karen act that way. Of course, there's no way in the WORLD I'm going to tell THAT story to a girl who I'm trying to impress (and no way in the world she'd ever believe it anyway).
Sacramento is a nice town, I like it alot. I do get down there every once in awhile. Usually stay at the Vagabond Inn because I love it's proximity to Old Town, while still being close to the "New town" shopping areas.

Wow what an incredible, unbelievable turn of events!! Very sorry to hear about all this Ben, that is a definite 'Something About Mary' scene. I would still consider taking Mona's advice on this one, even though you already saw Karen. And like everyone's saying, this has truly happened to EVERYone, lollll my own story I will not repeat, but I start laughing a little just thinking about it!

Wow looking at the date this is old!lollll Im sure youve moved way past this by now, (obviously you have, as far as this forum is concerned youve been almost more proactive than ever at bringing new women into your foot world) Such is life man, time and space between the incident and the present heals everything.

It's been awhile and now that I've had time to reflect, I realize this was not exactly the best night of my life. Still thankful though, that I didn't end up on the eleven o'clock news.
It's a big enough city that I don't have to worry much about running into Karen and that's a huge plus. I've only seen her twice since then and I'm sure she thinks that quite enough!

HAHA!! Ben this really really is the funniest thing I've ever imagined. I"m crying Ben I can barely breathe reading this!!!!!
Like Summer says I can just see you running through allyes & yards and back streets like that, STRAIGHT up with your posture. I can hear you telling that kid who hosed you down in your formal voice saying "You have my gratitude". TOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!
And your cordovan wing tips!!! Hey Ben are you banned for life from that restaurant. Another question, while you were out running for your life, did you ever stop & yell back "Im not an animal, I'm a human being"!
Last question and I'm half serious here. Once you were stripped down to your soiled undies & tshirt, were you STILL wearing your tie??
~Malory
PS - I've never seen you without your tie, even when we were camping. Wish I could have seen you then
