Before I say this, my dad is neither a drunk nor does he have a bad attitude. But on this occasion he was drunk and in a strange mood.
It was at a party, and a friend of the family had said: "Well I'm heading down to London soon for a weekend, but I've never been good on the road with a map, but I'm sure I'll be fine with our GPS system."
My dad responded: "You take the .................. road around to the ................ road" etc...
And disregarded her response: "Well there's really no bother, I'll use the GPS."
He continued as if she hadn't said anything for about 4 minutes before she said she'd "never remember all of that".
And he said: "It's easy, you just take the road heading from...." etc more directions for 2 more minutes.
And I finally interjected after having finished my conversation with someone else and said to him: "Dad she's already said she wouldn't remember it numerous times now, maybe you should leave her alone."
He responded: "Shut your face! I'm talking! Now get out or be very quiet!"
I was so pissed! I wanted to knock his lights out.
But out of respect for him I just said to him: "Next time you want some help, remember this moment... I neither deserved it, nor respect you for it."
And I walked out.
He came and apologised to me later on. And he's never dunk anywhere even near that much at parties before or since that night, so we were cool again.
