You seem like a sensible guy so next year skip it and hit the corner/downtown mall instead. Much better choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20945908.post-37555869738664384272010-02-15T19:49:52.025-05:002010-02-15T19:49:52.025-05:00Interesting thing about Barrister&#39;s which has been true the past two years: it&#39;s a night to forget you&#39;re all students at the same law school, and a night to play little social lawyer who has just realized the world is dog-eat-dog and every man for himself.<br /><br />By that I mean the common courtesy you&#39;d extend to people you consider more-than-strangers just flies out the window.<br /><br />Examples: <br /><br />People routinely cut in line to get their ID checked and get in. <br /><br />Despite very efficient bar service, boxing out / drink ordering was particularly aggressive. Trying hard to impress that date, guys?<br /><br />Taxi cabs. Of course no one respected that cabs were called by particular people- and this is before the mad rush at the end of the night. But on top of that, people were doing the &quot;walk half a block ahead of the dude/girl/couple waiting&quot; thing, so they could grab the next cab first-- even though, presumably, the dude/girl/couple waiting outside in the cold for a few minutes was probably waiting for the cab that he/she/they actually called. You&#39;d get called out for that shit by total strangers in any city.<br /><br />These people seemed way more pathetic than the less-than-assertive types who just couldn&#39;t keep up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20945908.post-57769885717040304612010-02-14T21:27:04.990-05:002010-02-14T21:27:04.990-05:00TL, DRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20945908.post-83759344119098500542010-02-14T17:57:52.838-05:002010-02-14T17:57:52.838-05:00[... ] is one interesting source on this topic[...]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
