“My wife and I were at a happy hour at a local Mexican restaurant.
It was pre-COVID, and they would lay out an impressive spread of buffet food for free.
Drinks were $2 off.
We would drop our sons off nearby for basketball practice and sometimes go for happy hour.
We shared the same waiter, and told him we wanted to pay for their drink.”
Until they proceeded to absolutely pound margaritas, three drinks to our one.
The waiter laughed and said he hadnt even told them of our offer yet.

“I’m a guy.
A man bought me a drink once.
I was f*ckin stoked!
I thought he wanted to talk sports, there was a lot of ‘bro’ talk.
The next day I realised what was going on and gave myself a little high-five.”

“I bought a scary dude at a bar a drink once just to see what hed do.
Im just dumb like that.
It went fine, he was a bit confused.
Nothing else happened.”

Neither took any initiative.
That was a very fun scene to witness from afar.
They ended up chatting all night and leaving together."

She never looked at or said anything to me.
She had her back to me talking to a friend.
I thought it was nice, and said ‘buy her one back.’
The bartender then said ‘she isn’t trying to have anything happen.
She’s just being nice.'"
She’s literally had her back to me all night?
I didn’t even pay her any mind.
So I said, ‘I know, I’m just being nice too.’
And the bartender acted like I was trying to get with her.
But she got the other girl a drink and we went back to not interacting whatsoever."

“I do it all the time when the bar line is really long.
I get a drink within five minutes instead of 25, and they get a free drink.
We go our separate ways after that.”

“I bought a drink for a woman one time.
We hadnt made eye contact; I had no proof she was aware I existed.

“I remember seeing a cute girl at a bar in the early evening.
One guy bought her a drink, which the bartender delivered.
A different guy did the same.
She smiled and waved thanks to them.
I flagged the bartender down and ordered her a water.
She laughed and we chatted a bit.
That was the end of it though.”

“I bought one dude a drink and he decided he needed to draw me a picture.
It was literally directionless scribbles on a napkin.
Then he started to tell me how the secrets of the universe were explained by it.
I don’t think so.
I excused myself and bounced.”

When they arrived, the girls looked over at us.
We tipped our glasses to them.
They cheered back, clinked glasses, and drank the shots.
Oh, the look on their faces.

“I always buy a shot for the bride-to-be and maid of honour when I see hen parties.
Not trying to get anywhere, just giving them a ‘congrats and have fun’ shot.
Sometimes it ends there, sometimes I end up being dragged around with their party all night.
Ive ended up attending a few weddings because of that habit, too.”

“We got married.
She is currently snoring next to me in bed.”

“She leaned on the bar, grabbed the shot, and literally emptied it on her face.
I could not stop laughing.”
Everyone left out of embarrassment.
I hope his liver’s okay.
