This thread has been a good reminder for me to be more careful. My time in Alaska is when I tend to let loose and go out to the bars and such but I've realized I'm nowhere near as cautious as I should be. So this is a good wake up call to use some common sense when I'm out at karaoke night or what have you this summer.

It's for this reason why when I do decide to go out I ask 2 of my guy friends to go with me, we're close enough to consider each other siblings so I know they won't let anyone mess with me. I'm sorry that happened to your friend, I hope the asshole that spiked her drink gets hit by a truck........./\

Quoth Zellie Crescent View PostIt's for this reason why when I do decide to go out I ask 2 of my guy friends to go with me...
I went to the ATM at the mall once and the man behind me in line didn't use it but followed me. I ducked into the ladies and called my husband who was waiting in the truck, but he wouldn't come in to get me (any of my girlfriends would have come in). I left the ladies and went to the parking lot and the man was following me. I started jogging across the parking lot and was almost sprinting by the time I got in sight of our truck, and the man was running behind me. My husband saw me, got out of our truck, called out to me and started towards me and the man veered off and started walking towards the side parking lot. My husbands take: 'I honestly can't believe someone would do that!' Of course you can't, you're 6'2" and 240lbs!
That's why they don't really get it. But you've got to love them anyways.Pain and suffering are inevitable...misery is optional.

Wow! How scary. Does your husband take these things a little more seriously now that he's seen that in person?Last edited by MadMike; 02-25-2014, 01:14 AM. Reason: Please don't quote the entire post.

I had my drink spiked once about 6ish years old, spent the next three days feeling terrible, it was at a bar that was just getting a rep for it and still has the rep (and the drink spiking, a friend of my mum's daughter got hers spiked there last week).
I had been drinking a bit that night but I don't normally get that drunk that way (tend to get really sleepy rather then repetitive and giggly.) Called my b/f because I didn't feel good and wanted him with me. Came quickly and walked me to his flat (about 5/10 mins away) He said later that I was acting oddly and that he had never seen me that drunk, but when my temp dropped so badly that he put me in the shower to warm me up he called medical help and my mother. Got advice from medical people who said if I got any worse to take me to hospital but if I responded to advice let me rest and get it out of my system. The one thing that stood out was that I had drunk the last of my wine and thought it tasted funny (salty), but put it down to the atmosphere (cigarette smoke pre ban).Final Fantasy XIV - Acorna Starfall - Ragnarok (EU Legacy)

That's what my friend said...that her drink just tasted "off" and looked a little bit different. The girl code is in full force, and when any one of us says that we're not comfortable someplace, we all leave, no matter what. Things could have been a lot worse if she'd consumed the entire beer. One of the weird things is that this particular bar wouldn't have been one I'd have thought something like this would have happened at, but I guess it can happen anywhere. My friend felt like hell for about two days. Today she seems to be a lot better, but the weekend was a little rough.
I'm glad your b/f was there for you, Bardmaiden.At the conclusion of an Irish wedding, the priest said "Everybody please hug the person who has made your life worth living. The bartender was nearly crushed to death.

I'm a huge fan of men and love my male friends but I've found that they just don't really get it
I try not to be paranoid or overly imaginative, but I've learned that creep radar is a very real thing. ALWAYS trust your gut.
Mathnerd, I'm glad your friend is all right.When you start at zero, everything's progress.

Quoth MoonCat View PostSad but true. Guys, this is a part of every woman's life. Always. When you're out somewhere alone and you hear footsteps behind you, your first thought is probably "It might be a mugger." My first thought is, sadly, "Potential rapist."I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

I hate that shit like this happens, but I honestly hope that one day I actually see a guy doing this to someone. I hope I actually see some guy put some drugs in a girl's drink. Preferably a friend of mine.

Quoth mathnerd View Post...have I mentioned the bartender is HOT?
Quoth Victory Sabre View PostSickos like that make things so much tougher on legit single guys looking for some special lady.

Quoth NecessaryCatharsis View PostI'm a huge fan of men and love my male friends but I've found that they just don't really get it. When you ask another woman to watch your drink, she watches your drink. When you ask a man to do it, he stays in the same room with it. It's not their fault, it's just that they live a little differently then we do.
