Lesson Learned- Don’t Kiss German Men Through a Window


Although tired from our flight, we thought that it was necessary to go out our first night and paint the town red, or more so green (since we are in Ireland). When we walked into the pub, it was crowded, the Irish music was blaring, and all eyes were on us. Whether or not we were ready for the full experience of Ireland, it was right in front of us and there was no turning back. Besides being hovered over by an old man right away, we met a friendly couple from South Africa, a family from Holland (who soon became our adopted family for a couples of days), and a group of guys from London.

However, in the midst of all of these fine people we had the opportunity to meet, there was one in particular fellow who was quite memorable for the night- the tall German man (Not sure of his actual name, but for this story let’s just call him Oscar). No, Oscar was not the man you would call gorgeous, or the man who bought us a number of drinks, or the man for any other reason that you may think we would find him memorable for- instead it was for his quite eager and aggressive behavior.  Let us explain.

When we first saw him, he was outside of the pub on the other side of the street, but he was calling us over with big hand gestures suggesting that we leave with him and his buddies. Although humorous, we were quite comfortable right where we were, so after a few more times of trying to convince us, he came over to the window, placed his lips on the outside of it, and waited for Brittany to give him a kiss. Of course being innocent Brittany and not thinking any harm of it, she kissed him back through the window…

Seconds later, Oscar had made his way through the crowded pub, grabbed Brittany, tossed her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and started to leave. Kristen, of course, could not let this happen and grabbed Brittany by the arms pulling her down from him. After a few laughs, a few more attempts to carry Brittany out of the pub with him, and a few conversations of how this just would not work, we thought that would be the end of it; however, that was not the case. In his last attempt, Oscar tried to carry both of us out of the bar. However, us being the secretly strong people we are (or more so having the ability to squirm out of big German guys arms), Oscar was unsuccessful once again. Defeated, Oscar left with neither of us, but he will be one of those guys we will always probably remember.
