#ConfessionFriday

I almost got beat up by a girl... because I randomly touched her friend's toes.

At a bar. I walked outside for something. I noticed a hot girl on the bar's sidewalk talking on her phone. I waited for her to get off the phone so I can speak... but she never got off. After a while, my intoxicated mind said to walk over and tickle her toes to get her attention (she had on open toe shoes). So... I did. She jumped her foot back and was like "What are you doing!!??" I said "Sorry, you were on the phone and I just wanted to let you know I'd like to talk to you." Then she said "Uh, that's creepy. Dont do that." And then she turned her head and continued her phone convo. I said "Im sorry" one more time and I went back inside the bar and forgot all about her.

15 minutes later, GIRL1 and her friend (GIRL2) walked over to where me and my buddies were. GIRL1 was pretty calm. GIRL2 was high-step marching with the mean mug on her face. Here's the exchange...

GIRL2: Excuse me! Hey... Why are you going around touching people's feet!
[my buddies looked at me like what in the world is goin on?]
ME: Uh... Im not going around touching everyone's feet. I only touched her feet. And I apologized to her outside.

GIRL2: Apology not accepted. Why did you touch her feet in the first place?
ME: Uhhh... <I turned to talk to GIRL1> Hey. I sincerely apologize to you. I shouldnt have done that. I thought you were attractive and I was trying to do something different to get your attention. That's all. Sorry.

GIRL1: Okay no problem.
ME: Thank y---
GIRL2: Um, no NOT OKAY!! You dont do that!! She's married. What's your problem? <angrily points finger at me>

MY BUDDY (to GIRL2): Hey. He just apologized to her. She seems cool about it. You're the only one trippin. Im guessin it's bcuz you're the ugly one and your friend is hot and no one wants to touch your feet.
GIRL2: I know my friend is hot. And excuse me but I am very confident in myself. I dont have to look good to you... there are plenty of men who want me, OKAY! But your little friend here <points to me> needs to know better than to touch strangers.

ME: You're right. And Im sorry. Idk what else you want me to do or say.
GIRL2: Uggh. <grabs GIRL1 and storms off>

[end of story]

(1) It amazed me that GIRL2 really tried to defend being called ugly by my buddy. As mad as she seemed, I would have expected her to slap him in the face. And I wouldnt have been mad at her for doing that... cuz as funny as it was, he shouldnt have said that.

(2) #FunFact: The girls were White. And my friends were White.

(3) I absolutely recognize and acknowledge that I was totally wrong for randomly tickling a stranger girl's toes. I cannot justify it with any reasonable explanation. I do not think that what I did was OKAY.

(4) I still have no idea what GIRL2 wanted me to do or say,... especially since GIRL1 seemed more casual about the situation and seemed to have accepted my apology.
