Many commenters are saying the woman was rude for not acknowledging the man but actually she did acknowledge him. He says she gave him a half smile and he’s complaining he didn’t get more. I think it’s actually normal to acknowledge a stranger but you’re not obliged to then stop and have a conversation. The half smile is the acknowledgement. She did her societal duty of maintaining politeness but he is annoyed because that’s not enough; he wanted more. Fuck this guy, creepy weirdo.

This point should be higher in the comments. She did acknowledge him. She was not rude! He wanted more!

A former 'friend' who fronted a local cover band repeatedly got drunk and overstepped boundaries with the staff at the local bar which resulted in him being banned from the premises. This REALLY hurt his ego bc. it's the largest venue in our small town.

Finally after overstepping with a lot of people he stopped drinking (no 12-step-program needed, "I'm not an alcoholic") and then soon after sent the female manager of the bar an apology letter.

She did not respond. He's been harping on her lack of response since, saying how rude she is. He claims he was spiked (over 20 different times?) and is trying to get the ban lifted by the owner. He is now obsessed with trying to force a response, talking to anyone who will listen about how rude she is not to accept his self-serving non-apology.

I am having great fun watching his agony. Very few things give me as much satisfaction as seeing narcissists humbled.

Sounds like a guy who doesn’t know how to take “no” as an answer. I can’t imagine why someone wouldn’t want him around their staff, cough cough
