I was went to a nightclub in Glasgow (The Arches), with a group of mates from University. They were all up dancing, and I was quite happy to stay (by myself) in the bar section, while the rest danced like idiots and quaffed Lucozade. At the table next to me, another guy was sitting by himself, presumably doing much the same as me. At this point, two rather attractive girls came by, looking for somewhere to sit. Since we had some spare seats, our table was a good bet. One of the girls (who I shall call 'K') approached me and asked if her and her friend could join us. "Of course!" I replied... 'K' started chatting to me, and even asked me if I would like a beer... (to which I responded by asking something about the religious status of the most senior figure in the Vatican). Her friend got talking to the guy sitting next to me, so all was looking great. After a while, the girls went to the bathroom together (as they usually do), saying they'd be back in a minute. As they disappeared round the corner, the bloke next to me said "Right, I'm off, see you later, mate", to which I said, "See you later", realising that I was now left alone with these two rather attractive girls. A couple of minutes later, the girls came back... A couple of minutes after that, the girl that had been talking to the other guy asked, "Where did your mate go?", to which I responded that I didn't actually know him, and that he was just sitting at the same table. At that point, the girl asked "Where did my cigarettes and Zippo lighter go?"... the fiend had taken them with him! Of course, I didn't notice that they were hers and not his, but I still felt really bad, not least because they were both really nice girls and had even bought me a beer!
Still, it was his loss... for the price of half a pack of fags and the knowledge that he has stolen something, he missed out on a great night. What a fool...
