Recently I got wind that an ex-girlfriend of mine was in town from the east coast to see family, and had tread unbeknownst into the land of My Regular. Now this particular ex is a bit of ancient history, like 5+ years ago, but she did some pretty unforgiveable shit, and I hold onto a grudge like a snapping turtle holds onto a crippled muskrat. Now being that she doesn't know I'm a fixture at the establishment I figured I'd give her the benefit of the doubt and provide subtle clues as to why this is not neutral territory.
Similarly, a year and a half ago when I was off loaded by another treacherous harpy, she had the sand to show up at MY bar, you know, the one I had been going to a couple years before we met and the one she always got pissed off at me for wanting to go hang out with just the guys once a week over. This act of overt aggression would not stand, so I explained my situation to the manager and he brought them both over empty glasses, saying it was from "that guy over there". (she had been bitchy with this manager on a couple of previous occasions, so I believe he got a kick out of it) Apparently she and her bog-hag friend got the clue and left after finishing their drink. A lengthy and rather one sided phone conversation, fueled by my having gone to 11 at said disputed bar, reiterated under no negotiable terms was she to return to MY bar. No sightings have been reported, despite a verbal defiance that she might go where she pleases.
Anyone else have any "custody disputes" over drinking establishments after a break up? How many bars does one think they have claim to as "their bar" after a split? (I say depending on the size of the town 1-3, also taking into consideration frequency of patronage) Anyone have any interesting neutral ground run ins?

Ah, custody disputes...The Warren in Cleveland/Lakewood was MINE when the man and I would argue since it's always where I ended up after a spat playing Whiskey in the Jar and Another One Bites the Dust as well as Crazy.
I have claimed bars as Mine before that, though. Particularly Edisons in Tremont & the Renaissance Hotel bar (formerly Stouffers) in Cleveland.

My ex hated my bar, so she hasn't returned. In return, I hate her bar, but I have gone their twice since we broke up. The guys that work there suck and hit on her openly when we were together, so upon my first return, when they still remembered who I was, I rang up about a 15 dollar tab on dollar cans of beer and tipped them 1 dollar. Revenge!

Re: When Ex's Invade
Maybe not defined legally as drinking establishments, but my ex screwed me over by starting to hang around my friends' parties just to indirectly see me, that crafty wench. She kind of crossed the line when I (hesitantly) agreed to let her go with me to a party before a concert, and she ended up being left behind in the apartment with a distant friend of mine because they both had passed out from all the drinks, whom she ended up fucking. The next thing I know she starts hanging out with this other friend of mine, who's (a) pretty weak-hearted (and was a) virgin, not familiar with the temptations of feeble bitches. She screwed him and seduced another mutual friend of ours, building up her axis of evil. She screwed something like a battalion of guys in three weeks, but still had the audacity to go bonkers when I met my current girlfriend just to go see a movie. I still have to deal with this wench on a regular basis, and I'm confident she's cast some sort of curse on me. But I know for a fact that her lovelife is among lovelives what Moldova is amongst other european countries, and her emotional life is pretty screwed up. I wouldn't mind if she fell asleep in the middle of the highway or fell down the stairs, though.H.P.

Re: When Ex's Invade
Only 2 bars in my town. And only one we really like.
We'd better never get a divorce. That could turn ugly....

Re: When Ex's Invade
I actually lay claim to ALL bars in my town, except of course for the shitty ones I would actually prefer for her to go there so she can pay a cover and get shitty service.
Thing is, I don't feel the need to tell her I lay claim to the bars, I simply have way more friends in them than she does so she feels uncomfortable going in.

Re: When Ex's Invade
I worked at a bar, dated a guy that came in, then we broke up.
He had been coming to the bar before I worked there, but I still see it as my bar because it was my source of employment.
That and all the bartenders were on my side when he showed up loaded with another girl about a week after we'd broken up. It was a pretty messy situation.

I've found that if you just go and piss in the corner of each bar you want and mark your territory - then you're good to go.

Re: When Ex's Invade
Well good luck convincing any self-respecting drunk that it's your bar if he was going there before you. And I don't see anything wrong with showing up with another girl unless he made a point of trying to hurt you.the green fairy wrote:all the bartenders were on my side when he showed up loaded with another girl about a week after we'd broken up.

I just saw one of my ex's at the bar last night, she's actually dating a guy on my softball team. MOF, I see an ex almost every time I go out to the bar. No biggie to me.
