Hey guys, super quick FR from last night for how to deal with the “Buy me a drink,” shit test.

A buddy of mine from undergrad and I went out to a local dive bar last night. He wanted to work on opening, and I was all too eager to neglect studying for finals. It was pretty slow since it was a Sunday, but there were a couple of girls wearing shirts from our alma mater, so he approaches with a comment about how we’re both alums. So are they, and it’s off to the races.

Only takes a few minutes for us to get them isolated from each other. A few minutes in the girl I’m talking to finishes her beer and says to me, “Why don’t you buy me another drink?” First shit test of the night. “Nah, I’m gonna take a piss, but if you go, grab me a beer.” A quick, simple power move that turns her own test right back around.

Turned around. Went to take a piss. Came back out and there were 2 beers and 2 shots of whiskey on the table. Followup shit test. Cheers to the mountaineers, and we take the shots. It was getting late, and we both had class this morning, so my buddy and I got their numbers headed out shortly after that.

All in all, definitely a response I’ll use again.
