I guess he was afraid someone would get to those chairs before he would. He hits me in the shoulder as he steps through and then steps on my foot. His wife followed but somehow missed me. He never said a word or even looked at me. After he sat down he never turned around, if he had I don't know what I might have done, I know he ruined my time there because I all I thought about is whether I should get in this guys face.

To top it off, I hurt the foot he stepped on playing softball last Saturday and I was trying to rest it all week so I could play today. Since I play shortstop you need to have your feet in good shape. I believe if I had one more beer this situation would of turned out differently.
No, more beers or not you did the right thing. Nothing would change if you "got in his face". His future behavior will not be any different and you would have become even more upset.
Besides in this great state of Florida, going after somebody can be dangerous. They can shoot you and walk away because of the "stand your ground" law passed by the folks up in Tallahasse.
