Update: A coworker's birthday was Tuesday. He expressed the sentiment of "F- that" so decided he'd celebrate Saturday and invited everyone at our store. We rolled in after close and had a fairly big group. Sorta low key, I don't really like bars where you can't hear a goddamn thing and your ears are left ringing from the music, and when I can't get up and dance with friends, but whatever.
One of my coworkers knew another guy who's there, they have a mutual friend (and are sorta barflies for that bar apparently.) He comes over, gets introduced. I introduce myself under my male name, since, well, post-work coworker party and all. He hangs a bit then leaves. And I need to pee after downing a two drinks and three glasses of water. I make my way for the restroom.
That dude and his buddies are over by the entrance, I get effectively blocked off as they're horsing around. He sees me
"[Male name] right? *hi-five* Spank this guy"
"That's okay, I really need to pee."
"Women's is back that way."
At this point, I put my hand down at my crotch and make a wiggling floppy motion with my finger rather than try to yell "I'M A MAN" loud enough for him to hear and understand.
"Oh, okay then." he says, heading into the mens' room with me.
We pee at the urinals and I ask him about how he knows the girl. I hear behind me an exchange from other guys "Yeah I thought I heard the name wrong at first too."
It takes me a little longer than usual, I wrap up and head out a while after he does, passing by the 5 of them. I get stopped by one of the guys who gives me a huge hi-five and a hoot. I smile, shake my head, shrug, and keep going. At the end of the night, he gave me a hug goodbye.
I don't really have a witty closing line for this story.

Today's been interesting actually.
When I got to work, this ->-bleeped-<-head coworker of mine was going on and on about Obama's 3rd trimester abortion, socialist, racist, god-hating pro muslim policies and somehow I got roped into it. "Oh f- you *male name* you don't believe in jesus either." And even though I didn't vote for obama and I answered a foreign co-worker's question of "who I'm for" with "Right now, I'm for Obama, until he screws up. We had to put up with 8 years of "He's the president, respect him no matter what" so I think we can give Obama that for at least a year"" (I didn't vote, registration got screwed up) I caught a "*male name* probably just voted for Obama cause he's gonna legalize gay marriage" fly out after I'd left the room. I U-turned and flipped him the bird through the doorway but I doubt he saw it. I had work to do, anyway.
Sad that the man's got two young kids. Of course, when you openly hate non christians and believe that agnosticism is just atheism for pussies, you can't expect much intellectualism. Especially when their idea of conversation is to just talk louder than you.
