CN: a woman told us we are the reason her husband is going to beat her up when they get home.
Long story: At the bar we go to there is some video gamming machines. There are 3 machines that our friends prefer to play. There was some people around one machine that were not playing. Here in STT most people are pretty nice and allow other play the machine. so our friends ask if someone was playing the machine. They said yes. After 10 minutes not one of them were playing nor was there any money in the machine. They asked again and they said yes it's their machine. After another 10 minutes another machine came available so they took that one.
All the sudden a woman shows up (after 20 minutes) and says the other machine was hers she just needed to get money. Fine...people do that. Although most of us just say that in the beginning. Then she says that she hopes we are proud of ourselves, because we were rude about asking about the machine, she is going to get beaten by her BF tonight/
Really?? You are actually trying to blame us for your beating. I do not believe in domestic violence, but I'm be dammed if you are going to blame me for your beating. You are the one who is allowing this behavior to continue. I just met you.
Part of me is sad about the situation. But damm, I have a tough time feeling sorry for someone who stays with someone who beats them over a gamming maching and then blames total strangers that we are the reason why.
What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests. Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.
