    Sexist? That's what I was told last night!
    When I asked scumbag 1s friend, scumbag 2 to remove his scumbag friend from in front of my face, I was told "he's not a scumbag, robbing drinks does not make you a scumbag", and I said sorry it actually does, as does squaring up to a woman on a night out I was met with "he's only drunk".

    Well that's okay then.

    Only a fool leaves a drink unattended and then goes back to finish it, for obvious reasons. Finish your drink then go for a dance then buy another drink.

    I agree but I was minding the drinks! I would often leave my friends minding my drink too.

    Back when I was young(aeons ago) none of us used to drink as it lowered your ability to err, defend yourself. Diet Coke all the way+gym+nice clothes to look more "innocenter". We used to be quite cheery when someone ambled up to steal our/our mates drinks as it usually provided a reason for some excercise. On the upside, girls/friends who were out with us never got any/much/any length of time of aggro.

    Be wary whose drink you're stealing Mr scumbag, there's always a bigger scumbag just waiting for an excuse to play.:)

    Just don't react. People who have consumed alcohol become unpredictable.

    Be the bigger man, walk away.

    Tried that. Bouncer wouldn't let me in.

    When I was 18 I was at a mate's house playing cards and having a few drinks when a bouncer came strutting through the kitchen door (earpiece and all) and told us all to fuck off. I had no idea what the hell was going on so just left with the rest.

    It was only the next morning I was told my mate's sister was in bed upstairs and had texted her boyfriend, who was a bouncer, to come over and kick us out.

    It was a very surreal experience.

    This. Absolutely.



    Then follow them home, if you can stand the smell, and burn their fucking house down.

    Haha, that reminds me of someone I know last Halloween, he was driving around his pride and joy when some drunk idiot threw something at the car. The guy knew the guy who threw it, and went to his house the next morning.
    The guy that had been drunk the night before answered the door and there's your man standing there with a baseball bat.

    Some people are just nutters

    I was out with a male friend who's mad into his judo, 2/3 not bad! Don't know, do people go up to bouncers and tell tales? :/


    No, they give out about the scumbags on the internet instead. That'll learn 'em.

    Oh. Wait... :D

    People also become unpredictable when they catch somebody stealing their drink, and I most certainly will not walk away after paying €5 for my drink only to watch some freeloading píss ant knock it back. They need to be made aware that there are consequences for stealing things that do not belong to them. It's usually instilled in childhood. You'd think they'd definitely know by now.

    I'll quite happily bring them down to my size. It's never happened to me though, I usually only get felt up by drunk people. So much so that it's like one of those "rebirth" ceremonies just to GET a drink at the bar in the first place! :pac:

    In Cheers Club years ago in Limerick

    Scumbag: Are you looking at my girlfriend
    Me: No man
    Scumbag: Why!? Is she ugly?

    That was my cue to leave :pac:

    Piss in a glass and leave it beside the drink stealer, then go into David attenborough mode and observe.

    I was out a couple of years ago in Dublin in a fairly popular pub on Camden St and there were two guys who didn't know each other but who were obviously fairly well on and performing some type of dance off each other.

    One guy was on his own and the other fella had another friend with him. The guy who was on his own's phone flew out of his pocket and the guy from the other group picked it up and put it in his pocket. So I said it to the guy and asked him did he have his phone?Obviously he said no and I pointed over at your man. The guy came over to me and started getting aggro so I just said I know you have it but I wasn't getting involved further so I took a step back.

    Key learning from this. Don't call anyone out yourself, say it to a bouncer. It's not worth the hassle. I'm well able to look after myself but you don't need to be getting involved. The guy ended up getting a few digs for his troubles and was still minus a phone because he didn't just say it to a bouncer and confronted the other person. I should have probably informed the bouncer before the victim but you learn from these things.
