A Bad Experience.

[ilikekicks]

I think tonight will qualify as my worst ever experience. Ive decided to relay this story knowing ahead of time that some people will resent my presenting this.

Im going to be 100% factual in relaying what was exactly said. If you dont care for name-calling or maybe having your views shat upon, maybe you shouldnt read any further.

Being recently married ( Yep! I was dumb enough and went and did it! ) and recently on a new leg of life after recent surgeries, I now have the ability/pleasure to go out and about on my own! I dont need anyone to drive me anywhere as I can work the clutch in my car just fine once again!

Its a Friday night, the Hockey season is on hold, what to do? Lets go visit some friends!

A while back, my friend Brian and I had a wager going. The story can be found here --> http://www.hhplace.o...my-kinda-shoes/ .

I decided, him being a huge Bruins Fan and my Team not able to play as well, we would both be in the same rut and in need of something to do.

I cant wear skinny jeans and still have to wear something not so constricting so I chose a pair of loose fitting pants, my normal ' pinktop ' booties and a hoodie. On top of it all, a leather jacket and ballcap ( my hair is still really screwed up. Chemo side effects really suck even 6 months afterwards ).

I arrived at Brians and he had nothing planned. We decided to get some wings at a local ' ballet-type ' establishment. We went back to the place where he had to pay up on his bet. I called Darian BEFORE HAND and had her blessings. She told me she would meet me there after she was done with work.

Laughingly, he decided to grab the pleaser shoes I gave him from the bet just in case any of the women from that night were there.

Brian is taller then me even when Im in heels. With him in those things.. hes clearly a foot or more taller then myself.

We went in, found a booth and were away from the action. One of the waitresses came over to see what we wanted and immediately remembered us! " OMG! You guys are back! You still have those shoes! can you walk in them yet? "

Needless to say, word went around with the girls and they all seemed to stop by and say hello.

Our food order came and one of the girls that was there from before hit the stage, she yelled across the bar ' This is for the guy with the shoes! Hope this brings back good memories! ' and she started doing her routing to the same song he was humiliated by the last time we were there.

We both found it funny when she threw her top at him.

The problem was.. there were some challenged patrons visiting there at the time.

Heres where things get stupid and a few of you might have a different opinion of me after saying all of this.

A voice came across the bar saying ' Look at the fagot and his ugly girlfriend '. A few of the people there looked right at us.

I was enjoying a mouthful of BBQ'ed wings and didnt appreciate the comment. I wasnt about to let it disturb the tasteful enjoyment of the food.

Brian on the other hand wasnt to happy.

" Fagot? Im not the one whom cant determine what gender someone is and your going to make such an accusation? "

I advised Brian to just let it go, order himself another beer and forget about the ' shitheads '.

Things calmed down and 2 of the babes ( one of which I know ) decided to join us on their break.

We were gabbing along, enjoying the food and company and this asshat comes out of nowhere and stands right by our table and says ' Are you going to keep us waiting or what? '

One of the girls asked him ' waiting for what? a fight? '

" No, hes wearing the stripper shoes, but his bitch isnt. I thought he might be next in the rotation to strut his ass all over that runway hoping we would put some dollars in his crotch. It looks like he would enjoy such ".

To say Brian was mad is an understatement. I think I need to mention that a good description of him in a word would be ' linebacker '.

Brian went to stand up and one of the girls stopped him and called over the bouncer.

The guy and the bouncer had quite a shoving match and it ended with the gentleman being tossed from the establishment.

The guy tending bar came over and apologized and offered drinks for the night but I declined. I did tell him that my wife was coming and would enjoy an order of wings though .

The girls went back to work, Darian arrived. Brian was confused..

" Why did that guy think I was going to go out there and dance? ". The waitress answered " Its your shoes. take a look up onstage, they are the same kind we wear to perform. Their inexpensive and get scuffed up a lot. Their just cheap things and leave an impression of where they are used.. Porn, hookers, strippers.. Its no big deal really. They arent the kind of shoes I would be caught dead wearing out to a normal social event. ".

Sure enough, the girl performing was wearing a pair of the exact same shoes as brian ( though hers were pink, not white ).

" These are hooker shoes? ". We all laughed.

He became the brunt of the jokes about not watching porn that had any females involved and other jokes as the night went on. The waitresses all solicited him everytime they came to our table. ' how about 20$ for a lapdance baby? '. ' What does your old lady rent you out for.. nightly rate that is? '. They broke his balls the whole time!

All was fine till we went to leave. Its tough to drive on 4 sliced tires and pissed on door handles. It was good Darian had her car there .

Moral of the story is : Dont wear hooker/stripper shoes to the Ballet or Redlight district. The patrons might confuse you as either a worker or their competition. .

Second moral of the story : AAA coverage with towing is a great thing to have!

Not just a bad situation, but a complicated one.

Whoa, that really was a bad experience. I have worn heels with my wife to a place like that once. I thought that if I could ever get her to go out again it might be to repeat that. Perhaps I wil rethink it. Best, AZShoeNut

We do have a "ballet theatre" outside of town. I haven't been there yet as it's kind of a strange setup. No food, and BYOB. I do know some of the patrons, and due to their general neanderthal mentality, I'm disinclined to go there, and especially with anything other than work boots.

[ilikekicks]

Update : 4 new Goodyear Eagle tires, mounted and balanced, 850$. Wheel alignment included. I had them put on outer rod ends as mine were 9 years old. Moog makes some great stuff. The situation was due to one asshat. It wasnt the establishment nor its employees. Just one patron and he wasnt a regular there.

Even the most innocent situations can desolve into scarey situations in a matter of seconds. Whether you're in heels or noy, it's best to be very aware at all times. Especially when with your family.

First gratts on getting married. Weird with my chemo it didn't affect my hair om my head at all not that I there much as it is. Was gone everywhere else though was so smooth Guess there are neanderthalers everywhere

Congratulations on keeping your cool, I'm not sure I wouldn't have thrown several insults back. Clearly your average low IQ bloke who was clearly jealous of the two men wearing heels who were getting attention from the ladies he expected to pull in his tiny little brain. How does he cope with this, like other idiots of course and go and insult the thing that as hi beaten. Absolute idiot, the funny thing is of course he was thrown out as being the outsider, the one others wouldn't tolerate when he thought his protestations would highlight you as outsiders. Perhaps if he goes back again you can lend him some heels to give him a chance with the ladies. :-)

Nicely put Foxy. Ilk congratulations I await a picture of the day Al

[pebblesf]

Foxy has got it right....The drunk ass was probably jealous and questioning his own issues because he secretly liked how you looked in the heels and worried....Sounds like you guys are more than able to "handle yourselves" in tricky situations like this, which is a good thing...Not that physical violence should ever be used, but your physical presence should discourage most guys from starting anything physical....

Needless to say, alcohol never helps in situations like these...Unfortunately, it usually takes me a few drinks to develop enough courage and lose public

heeling inhibitions!

Congratulations of making the best of a terrible situation, you guys are really great! Don

I dont think the guy even knew I was wearing heels at all.

One of the reasons I dont wear the ' hooker ' or as JeffB stated ' streetwalker ' types of heels is I dont want to really draw attention. Im not the kind of flamboyant guy or one of those ' in your face ' types. I would have rather offered to buy the guy a beer and laugh about his comments then to have had the guy bounced. The waitresses joining us however didnt even let me make the offer, they had him tossed really quick.

Brian.. as stated, hes of linebacker size, me? not at all. My friend ' Sam ' watches over me whenever I feel I should take him along.

The only reason I was there.. The food and because it was a nice place the last time we were there. Its STILL a nice place, just 1 bad patron whom wasnt even a regular. I will go back there without any loss of faith in their establishment.

I needed new tires anyway. The car was about to be put away for the winter to begin with. So, I bought tires this past week instead of in the spring. No biggie.

What a story! Kind of made my night, if you don't mind me saying. Why? Well, it convinced me to take a trusty camera along for the ride, in case I need to pic the dope and show his face in a report to the police. 'You do to me, my friend, I can do right back. No [physical] harm done. Now...smile for me!'

[radiodave]

That stinks, sorry about your car. I can't help but wonder how he discovered your car, but cars can be fixed. I had my own unpleasant encounter with a road raging gorilla who decided I was clearly in the wrong for driving the right way through a parking lot despite his blatantly ignoring the "DO NOT ENTER" sign. Thankfully, after he got out and threatened physical harm, I just said "You have a nice day, sir, Merry Christmas and God bless". He got back in his car and went on. Still glad it didn't get beyond that, and no damage except my frayed nerves.

You just have to be conservative and not so in your face when it comes to heels , as you said. That's why I only wear boots and I try to hide them. Although latley I have let the cat out of the bag. I was at diilards the other night. A sales lady camed up asked if I needed help. I said no, and where are your boots. (She very nice boots on earlier). She looked down and noticed my shoes. She was shocked. She startede to ask about my boots, in b roken english, but was kinda loud. So I said, shhhh. She told some others and I could see them straining to see. Then I left.
