The guy clearly had impotence issues and the lady kept complaining that she was feeling frustrated because he was frustrated. And wasn't really helping, or at least not helping enough. Let's just say that other people around them weren't as comfortable as them about the conversation. 14.9k Share

    Font - P IndiEstructible Prod. Two businessmen having after work drinks on a Friday, where the conversation built up to one of the sweetest sentiments I've heard. At first the usual "Lemme tell ya, you're a good person. I love you man." Later on (still fairly basic): the wives! Hey, you and me, we buy motorcycles!" To finally this gem: "If a tornado were to blow you away... I would fly after you." 14.1k Share ...

    Font - bonvoyageespionage. Was visiting my mom at work once (she tends bar) and heard her making conversation across the bar with a patron. Suddenly, over the music, I hear the guy slam his fist onto the bar and yell "YOU... ARE FACTUALLY... WRONG." He immediately faceplanted on the bar, and his buddy had to carry him out of there. My mom was just commenting on the fact that the song that was playing was country... 7.5k ↓ Share

"Look all I'm saying is Grand Theft Auto severely ruined our generations perception of how many police helicopters exist" Sounded like they were getting really heated over the matter haha 3.7k Share

    Font - "Well then" and he precedes to pull out a cooked fillet of chicken from his pocket and puts in on the bar and leaves without saying another word. Dumbfounded, me and my mate carefully pick up the cooked chicken fillet, it was cold. So this lunatic has gone home and cooked a chicken fillet then put it into his fridge on the intention of later placing it onto our bartop as some sort of "horse head in the bed" kind of revenge. We still have no what he was doing. 881 Share idea
