You all know who I’m talking about when I say “That Guy”. He is the person who can demolish a good time at any point. Everyone tries to stay away from being that guy but sometimes it’s almost inevitable. Even if it’s just for a few seconds, That Guy can ruin the vibe of a good time.
For example, last night I’m at a Cinco de Mayo fest at my buddies house and we had a seven on seven game of flip cup going. The game was one of those good games of flip cup, you know where everyone’s yelling and really into the game and no matter what, no one dares to leave the table. It was at this point in time when “That Guy” struck the table. He was playing with a mixed drink and needed to go make a new one. The first part of being That Guy is having something different from everyone else. If he would have just been playing with beer, instead of being a big dog, everything would have been fine. Instead, he fucked up everyone’s day.
That Guy went into the kitchen to refill his drink, holding the game up for exactly two minutes. In this short amount of time, he had interrupted the flow of the game. Now everyone was going to the bathroom, switching the music and even talking on the phone. What was once a flip cup game all about getting hammered and beating the other team mercilessly, was now a cluster fuck. This was all because of “That Guy”.
After this, the flip cup game was never the same again. People weren’t that into it, everyone was taking a lot of time in between games and girls even started taking pictures at the table. Within a few minutes, flip cup was no more.
Because That Guy decided not to plan ahead with his drink, he ruined a great game of flip cup. That Guy can strike in many other facets as well that I am not going to explain because I don’t have the time. But just remember for future reference, you don’t want to be “That Guy”.
