So I was at an international rugby game last night. Friend who was with me has been really badly cheated on by his wife of 7 months and is a little bit fragile. Combine this with the fact that he’s a massive drama llama particularly when he’s had alcohol, so he’s been getting quite a lot of TLC off his huge group of friends. So we watched the game, had a few drinks and he got a bit maudlin. The sensible friend gripped me and said time for him to go. Finished the drinks, got food for us both and headed to the station to get a train home.
At the station he’s on the phone to all and sundry but I noticed a couple a few yards away and the male is giving the female a serious amount of grief. Effing and blinding, she was seriously distressed and I was thinking that there may be DV situation about to happen. The drama llama is a copper so I tried to attract his attention to say we should get a bit closer in case something kicks off. Ignored me and carried on talking on his phone. So I wandered a bit closer. I’m no hero but I thought my presence might put him off a bit. It did, he noticed me, stormed off and then came back and said “Im not going to do what you think I’m going to do and stormed off again.” I went to have a word with the girl, she was quietly weeping and waved me away. Fair enough, don’t want to embarrass the poor girl. Couple of minutes later she came over to say she was sorry for the drama and would it be ok if she stands with us. The drama llama suddenly clocks that she’s a very pretty girl and starts to take notice.
The train comes in, she’s going to the same place as us and she starts to tell us all about her DP and his drunken rages. The drama llama clocks on to the fact that he is no longer the centre of attention and starts to tell her all about his problems. I sat there astonished at his level of selfishness. We were in the ridiculous situation where she’s saying “Oh you poor thing” to the self centred git.
Should I tell him off or just slap him upside the head??
