Your first thought is, that's so nice, his granddaughters are taking him out on the town. Then an hour passes, and they're trying to dance badly on the "dance floor" of some seedy Village bar, and you realize he's wearing a ring. THEN you notice his hand is groping ever so nonchalantly at the woman's ass area. and you notice she almost falls down several times. Your friend's boyfriend asks awkwardly if it's the appropriate moment to "step in," since the girl's friend seems to have gone MIA and you worry for Drunk Girl's decision making at this point. Does she not realize he's 80 years old and married? Does she know he is secretly worth a billion dollars? Is he really her grandfather and they just don't frown upon incest since they're not from The City? These scenarios bring more questions than actual fun having at the bar, because now you're involved in the action. Even if it's super old action, where the super old are taking advantage of obviously very, very drunk younger women who CANNOT be his wife. Unless they got married when she was 5 years old.
You start to wonder if you can go to a bar anymore and not analyze the situation of every other patron there. It becomes less fun when you're wrapped up in your own drama rather than enjoying whatever top 40 rap some seems to be getting people to dance these days.
