Recently our online friends Ulli and Harry came to Regensburg. Besides wanting to meet us the main mission for this short trip was to visit the Kneitinger. Just like the Hofbräuhaus the Kneitinger is a large brewery tavern which serves its own beers, of course, but also has an excellent kitchen and a large menue with typical Bavarian dishes. It is reknown by and far as the best place to hang out in Regensburg, if you manage to get a table. In places like these you'll find Bavarian culture in full bloom, and a mixture of people unlike elsewhere.
So we had a good time there. After a couple of pints I needed to go to the restroom. Since the last time I was there the tavern had been redecorated and some of the rooms were rearranged. The new restrooms were in the back of the building a few steps down. I entered the anteroom, but unfortunately the doors of both restrooms were opened to the inside, and at first glimpse I could not see which room was which.
In the room straight ahead there was a drunken couple arguing loudly with each other and fiddling with a mobile phone. They looked typically battered from a life long of heavy drinking. That was the men's room.
I hesitated for a moment thinking about how to go around the two of them without getting involved into their argument. The drunken woman noticed that and politely she said to me: "Excuse me for using your toilet, but we urgently need to call a taxi."
