This sounded like an episode of Seinfeld, with George Costanza being the first date/boyfriend. Can't you just picture George rolling into Jerry's apartment with: "Well, my date did it."
Jerry: "She did what?"
George: "I took her to a Mexican restaurant and she crapped on the floor."
"She crapped on the floor!" (Imagine Jerry's wide eyes and that obnoxious 'shocked' voice.)
"She crapped on the floor."
Kramer runs in. "Hey."
"Kramer, my date/long term girlfriend crapped on the floor."
Insert lame Kramer line with his arms flying all over the place with his fingers all twitchy.
And then hilarity ensues while they talk about it for the next 21-and-a-half minutes (somehow all their neurotic obsessions seem to last exactly 21-and-a-half minutes).
If it's not obvious, guys, I don't like Seinfeld. And this story seems to go perfectly with the show.
There's something about this story that's a a little more offensive and morally wrong than smoking in McDonald's: drinking while driving. A road trip consisting of two friends and a case of beer? That's illegal, for good fucking reasons, too. Funny how everyone focused on the cigarette smoke...
The author says his friends were drunk, but he had been drinking, too.
My bachelor's degree is English literature, and I want to address those with negative comments about this story. I don't want to sound too much like a bitch, but you poop reporters have it wrong about this story. This website tends towards favoring a particular formulaic type of poop story, along with extremely contrived figurative language. Amusing, of course, fun to read, absolutely, but not exactly good literature. This is a very good short story. "Annoying format?" Where do you read your literature, the Sunday comics? This has a well-organized and original format. Nearly every story on this website has an identical chronological format, which can be very boring.
Try not to criticize this story until you have enough experience reading short prose OUTSIDE of this website to avoid sounding ignorant.
