Tubing with Toolbags

http://www.sawmillmi.com/

I spent the weekend in a small town called Big Rapids an hour north of my city. I was tagging along with my best friend who was being taken by a guy she's kind of almost dating. We went tubing with a group of his friends on the Muskegon River and really had a nice time. The weather was hot, the sun was bright, the river refreshing. All in all we had a lot of fun. The problem was that the two guys we were with were ultimate A**holes.
     They felt the need to call my friend and I (girls they were supposedly trying to impress) "hooker" "ho" and even worse epithets as if they were our names. Dropping those words causally into conversations as if they are commonplace titular nouns.

     Maybe it's my age, maybe it's the fact that I have now been in a relationship with a real man who knew how to treat women with affection, respect, and appropriate humor but I had less then no patience with the immaturity of our host and his friend. Our host, btw is no less then 30 years old. I believe there are solid reasons that a man is thirty, single, and still hangs out with college students. Later that night we were kicked out of a bar where my friend and I were sipping water because our host and his friend rang up a $91 tab between the two of them, became stupid drunk and tried to start a fist fight with another patron.
    The conclusion of the weekend is that I am wildly underwhelmed by the behavior, attitude and savoir faire of these two charmers. I ended my very mature relationship for what again?

Sometimes men are completely oblivious.
