Asking people to buy you a drink?

A couple of times by people under age looking for someone to buy them drink in a pub.

I turned them down, less hassle.

Well that is rude. Id be turned off too

I bet you are a guy arent you? I cant imagine a guy saying that to a woman lol

He probably thought he was being cute - turning the gender tables so to speak.

Even if I were single, I wouldnt buy some rando a drink, but I wouldnt expect someone to buy me a drink out of the blue either.

One time... YEARS AGO! when Barcode was still open, this girl came up to me at the Bar and started talking to me. (Which was strange for me)

Anyway after about 20 seconds of small talk she said something like "why don't ya get me a drink" or something like that.
I laughed and asked for a pint of water, thinking I was hilarious, as I knew she clearly had not interest in me.

She got annoyed though and poured the glass of water over me, which wasn't very nice

What a self entitled ****, I'm actually getting so angry just thinking about that

Women asking for a drink is extremely common. Used to work in a few night clubs and it was something you would see every night. There were particular regulars that used to do it all the time.Some would go off later with the person but others were just out for the drink.
Males asking for drinks of strangers would be extremely rare but I had a very cheap friend who used to do it to people he barely knew.
In other the US had it happen but not after brief conversation and I had no problem with it as they were broke. Sometimes people really misunderstand how poor people in the US can be.

I've never bought a drink for someone that I didn't know. It's just not right.

I've had random girls ask me to buy them drinks and I've told them to buy themselves one and we can have a chat and if the chat goes well then I'll think about buying them the next one. It's a pretty good way to weed out chancers.

Id buy them a drink but only on completion of random, whimsical tasks like making it to the bar and back on all fours within a certain time limit.

Was waiting for a friend in a Bar in England years ago (about 20 years ago), now I'm a bloke and at the time I was a bit of a rocker and had long hair, so I walk into the bar and this old rocker hag comes up and goes "you want to buy me a drink luuve?" so I was like Eh ok so I said to the barman "Can I have a bottle of Domestos please?", she left me alone.

One time a guy bought me a drink which I didn't ask for but I kindly accepted and said thank you. Then at one point during the night he said to me "Do you want a drink" and I said "No no it's fine you already bought me one" and he just went "Oh okay, do you want to buy me one?"

We get it, you're gay and attractive.
