Okay, so I went to a party the other night for a coworker's birthday, and I took the girl who works with us. One of the guys there has a knack for getting pretty trashed and just doing random stuff, usually of the uncool sort. So she was kind of uneasy about being at a place where he was going to be, but I told her to just call me over or something if he was bothering her.
So we go, and he's there, and he's cool at first. Some time later, he's completely off his ass, and he keeps getting louder and louder... smacking the table really hard, yelling "nigger" super loud outside, etc. Then he turned his attention to her for a minute, but we distracted him with some other drunk person.
She and I quietly found the people throwing the party and said our goodbyes, then made it out of there without incident. Apparently the other people at the party had enough of his antics also, as we left at 12:15 and the place was apparently pretty empty at 12:30.
So it's been a few days, and now I've got people telling me that I need to learn "party etiquette" and whatnot, because they feel I should've said goodbye to everyone before we left. Thing is, I didn't know everyone there, and if that one guy had gotten out of hand, we would've fought. So I thought it better to just quietly leave rather than risk an incident.
What should I have done, or what would you have done in that situation? The guy is nice enough when he's not drunk, but I want to sock him in the face when he's liquored up, and even moreso if he's trying to grab around on the girl I brought...
