Handling it the way it was handled doesn't make the OP any better than him - just saying. <br /><br />While I wouldn't have stayed either, I would have paid for what I ate or ordered as I highly doubt I would have had any appetite after him being so blantly open about his bowel movements on the first meeting. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00049606262284331614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-9281448284370268312012-11-19T13:01:32.555-05:002012-11-19T13:01:32.555-05:00Yeah, when the story continued on after that, I st...Yeah, when the story continued on after that, I stopped reading.

The guy was an asshole and deserves to be treated like an asshole (no pun intended).<br /><br />However Jody makes a good point that it's possible the waiter got stuck with the bill. In hindsight I would have probably given the waiter my half of the bill as a 'tip'. But in the heat of the moment, especially being that angry, completely understandable to just walk out.Shoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16097945277233309185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-64742096453401344482012-11-19T08:17:59.396-05:002012-11-19T08:17:59.396-05:00Yes, you should have done something differently......Yes, you should have done something differently....and that thing was NEVER ask commenters what you should have done differently!<br /><br />That being said, you should have paid for your part of the meal and he should have taken "stool hardener" instead of "stool softener". <br /><br />PS.

What I don't think was fine was for you to walk out without paying. How do you know the guy didn't come back and the waiter got stuck with your bill? A compromise would have been to wait until your date came back to the table, then left. Whether or not he paid at that point, the restaurant could see him at the table and then deal with it (you could leave money for your part of the meal on the table as you left him, if you wanted to.)Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132279109965112116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-65013222415569849382012-11-19T03:12:44.455-05:002012-11-19T03:12:44.455-05:00You should have paid for your part of the meal.You should have paid for your part of the meal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
