So, I met this girl in a bar once. Hot, 21 year old student. Shortly after we hook up her friend comes along who's also pretty hot and 'has a boyfriend' - she's cool enough, doesn't pull any shit and seems to take to me straight away.

After dancing and making out with hot girl for a while, whilst her friend 'does her own thing', she suggests all three of us get drinks. I concur.

If I was hoping for an easy night, I was in for much more - comedy gold and a shining example of beauty doing what it does best: turning betas into ATMs.

We head over to the packed bar and before I can open my mouth, her friend loudly announces 'I'll get the drinks!' - Sweet, couldn't get any better.

She promptly turns straight around to the first guy she sees within a meter of us - slides up next to him, engages her charm, and in under a minute he's handing her a £20 note.

She turns to the bar, immediately gets served. Moments later, the drinks arrive.

She turns to us, and stealthily (the guy obviously saw it happening) hands us 9 bottles of premix.

She turns back to the bar, pockets the change, hands the bewildered guy the pint she ordered for him, says goodbye sweetly, to which he nods and begrudgingly forces a smile in return. We leave and take 3 bottles each.

I couldn't believe it, it was my first 'gold-pill' - a textbook example of an extraordinarily hilarious and obvious manipulation taking place in the real world, just like so many of the stories I read here and laugh about.

I still can't believe she actually pocketed the change too. Students have to make ends meet somehow I guess...
