Buy me a drink??

Never buy a drink for somebody you don't know who is looking for one if they have not got into a convo with you for any significant length of time.

Gotta give it to her " Will you buy me a drink?" ffs

I'd have replied " fancy getting beaten to death with your own shoe?"

Don't think she'd be long running then..

The legal profession are the lowest of the low IMO. The legal profession in Ireland have a very nice little racket going on for themselves.

Not as hookerish as thinking a girl owes you something because she is bought a drink!

The running away is a bit off though!

did i say i was outraged my friend didnt even his rock and roll? no but to chat to him for the sole reason to get a drink is a acummy thing to do!

By the looks of things maybe your buddy was full of himself (because he is in college studing a degree with very few jobs available at the moment and itll take him 8 or so years to get qualified), and the girl saw him was an easy target to get a free drink off of.

Eh where did you get that from?

I agree it's a bit off but it appears that if the girl was a student she no doubt was young! If she is older and doing that kind of thing, really should know better.

I know when I was a teenager, I did some really dumb stuff like stealing drinks in night clubs etc. Thought it was hilarious at the time. Obviously, wouldn't dream of doing that now but at the time was young and stupid and really didn't know any better.

thats the thing man she was around 26/27 definatly too old for that i could understand young ones doing it

Pretty much this. I have never bought a woman a drink if I dont know them for a while(in the sense of chatting for a good while on the night). Same way Im not gonna buy a bloke a drink in the same circumstance. If we're all doing rounds and a man or woman I dont know is in it then yes but otherwise no.

i dont mind buying women drinks but it wont be the first thing i say, usually though my alarm would go off if the woman said buy me a drink!

I was out last night with a good mate and my mate got talking to girl, they werent talking long but she seemed to really like him and they were getting on great. Then she asked him to buy her a drink, after he did that she said im going to the toilet and she and her other friend said they would be right back. Needless to say everytime she say my mate she ran. This isnt the first time this happened i seen it with other girls and other men, they girls were all fairly young and this seems to be a new tactic!

My mates at fault for buying the drink but surely pretending to like men in order for them to buy you drinks is a bit hookerish, the girl who did this on my mate was a law student so hardly scum or anything!

When a person-A willingly buys person-B a drink it gives Person-A no claim on the other person's time, money, attention or other favours.
All person-A can expct is a verbal "thank you" and nothing more.

In above case this lady was completely within her rights. She was no under no obligation whatsoever to the buyer of the drink.

This seems to be a new tactic! No it is not new and it is not necessarily a tactic.
Not new. It is ancient. Men and women have been looking for "Freibier" free beer since beer was invented. There are historical cases of monks in the local monasteries/breweries in Bavaria looking for more beer.
Tactic for what? This lady did not know the buyer. Thus she was 'testing' him. She was wth her buddy. She was entitled to 'shop around'.

The least person B could do is say thank you.

person b used her resources (ability to degrade herself by exploiting her looks, lack of morals ie not even saying thank you and running off) to get a free drink of person a, person c me is well within in my rights to think of person be as a c*nt!

Anyway man is that the way to live life ie as long as im in my rights to do it ill try and get away with it? what sort of person thinks that way?

the last thing she said to him was buy me a pint so at the moment she realized she wasnt into him she tried to get a free pint of him, do you think thats a good way to carry on?

This wan came up to be in a club once, and says to me,without preamble "buy me a fat frog". More like an order nearly.

I told her to f*** off straight away. Then she told her chav friends what I said. I had to beat a hasty retreat. ****.

Sea Sharp · 16-07-2010 11:47PM

Happened me recently. I just said:
"Yeah no problem, wait here and I'll be back in a minute" and proceeded to walk off.

and I didn't come back.

Tilt Gone · 17-07-2010 12:25AM

I had a girl do this to me years ago. It was getting late into the night and we had been chatting for a while in the club. Mind you it wasn't long enough for her to ask but she did it in a playful sort of way so i didn't mind too much.

Only thing was, she wanted a voldka and seven up but I was skint and was far more worried about having enough cash to keep myself in drink..

Sooooooo hoping she was as tipsy as i thought, I just bought her a dash of 7 up. Bought her two or three more and she never seemed to cop it. Oh and i got my hole. Never got a chance to try this out and see if it would work more than once though...

To answer your questions as asked: Many people do that! It is life.
- some motorists on a 100 k.p.h speed limit drive at 105 k.p.h.+ if they think they can get away with it.
- some motorists after damaging a parked car drive off if they think they can get away with it.
- Some people joined the FCA (irish part time army) at sixteen years by claimining to be seventeen years, got the bus into town at half fare by saying they were fifteen, in town they watched an 18 year+ film. They thought there was nothing wrong with doing that because the got away with it. (Years ago)
These are three of many examples of various people thinking they are entitled to do something if they can get away.

In this particular case this lady did nothing illegal whatsoever by asking for a drink and then walking away. It was a small lack of manners not to thank the buyer for his generosity. [Conistent with my statement of a verbal thank you]

Buy me a drink??
