'Til I Can Make It on My Own

Date: 5/24/2020

I am in what looks like a chain pub / bistro type place but it's not one that I recognise. Everything is wood panelling and clean but very sterile, you know the kind of deal. I am on my own (hence the song title - Tammy Wynette 1976, couldn't think of a better one) and am flirting with the girl behind the bar, or so I thought. I can't remember exactly what I ordered but I think we were discussing vegetarian food and I wanted a Coke. I am not vegetarian (sorry hairy Hipster Millennials - I fucking hate you all anyway with your fucking avacado on toast for breakfast and pilates). Also I'm an Irn Bru man and don't particularly like Coke so don't know why I would even order that. So the barmaid goes away to, I assume, take care of my order. A couple appear next to me. The girl stands next to me to my left and her man is standing next to her. The barmaid returns and starts taking to her and takes their order! I'm pure like that 🤨 oh aye,what's this all about? I try to interject but I'm ignored. The girl next to me starts to gravitate towards me and I'm being squeezed against the wall to my right. Eventually she is standing against the wall and I'm behind her. I say to her, "Excuse me, am I invisible or something? You've just totally pushed me out the way". She seems genuinely surprised, apologises and returns to stand next to her man who seems a bit sheepish about the whole situation. The barmaid has disappeared again and I feel further frustrated.
