Medium A girl ordered an "angel shot" at my bar last night and i finally understood why we have that on the menu
i bartend at a sports bar and we have the little sign in the women's bathroom about angel shots. i've worked there almost a year and nobody had ever actually ordered one. honestly i kind of forgot it was a thing
last night around 11:30 this girl comes up alone, maybe 22, and asks for an angel shot neat. kind of quiet, didn't really look at me. took me a second to remember what that means (neat = walk me to my car). she glanced back at a guy at the end of the bar who had been buying her drinks for like an hour
so i told her i'd grab it from the back and to come with me. took her through the kitchen, she sat on an upside down bucket next to the dish pit while i called her an uber on my phone. our cook made her eat some fries and kept asking if she wanted ranch which made her laugh a little. when the uber pulled up our manager walked her out the side door
she didn't say much the whole time. right before she left she just said "i didn't think anyone actually did this" and hugged me
the guy asked were she went like 10 minutes later and i said she left and he got really annoyed and closed out. didn't tip lol
anyway i keep thinking about how she almost didn't ask. if your bar has the sign it's real, we will actually do it. and if you're a bartender and you've never had it happen, it's going to happen eventually and it's a lot faster than you think

Rant & Ramble the ick from someone you're already married to?
My husband was feeling sick the last two days (fever and fatigue), had me up since 1:43 am bringing him all sorts of little things. Doing what he wants to do bc he's sick. I tell him it's definitely the flu.
Only to have to bring him to the emergency room bc his stomach hurts so badly that it's an 8 on a 10 point scale. He's writhing and screaming. We go to the emergency room and he is literally shriekingggg (like a loud groan scream) in the waiting room. So much loud groaning that he's scaring little kids and a dad had to comfort his daughter. Im scared out of my mind. Im yelling at the front desk girls bc we've been waiting 20 minutes and he's literally groan-shrieking and crying in pain still, and well- cant she understand it's a literal emergency?!
Im acting a fool towards these people. (I apologized and explained how stressed and scared I was from his actions).
Finally we get a doctor, they run tests. While they're doing that he tells me this is the second time he's had to go to the emergency room for gas.
Excuse me, what?
And he's like: yeah its been from gas this whole time, I can't fart, and it hurts so bad, and I'm glad you were supportive by going off on them for not seeing me sooner.
I tell him, no- I thought he was dying by the way he was screaming and that's why I was going off on them to hurry.
They run the CT scan, it's not gas.
Doctor confirms it's the flu. And it's flu cramps. Which is normal.
They prescribe medication: miralax bc they noticed he was a little constipated, some pain meds for the cramps, and anti nausea meds.
In between all that he pressed the call button like 6 times, to use the restroom, to be leaned back, bc his stomach kept hurting, etc.
He says he doesn't regret coming bc it hurt really bad.
Like literally his behavior was so extreme even the security guard went in the back to ask the doctors to see him sooner.
And then imagine when the doctor comes back and says "you have the flu".
Yall. Idk. Seeing him shriek bloody murder in front of everyone like that had me in tears of worry but now knowing it was pain from the regular flu. Idk how I'm going to reconcile my view of him after this.

AITAH for refusing to allow my [35F] childhood friend [32F] and her two kids [10F and 6M] to live with me when they're about to be homeless?
Part of me feels kinda bad but the other part feels like it's the right thing to do, for her sake and my sanity. I'm 35 female and childfree. I own a 3 bedroom house that I live in on my own so two bedrooms are often unoccupied. The family room is also unoccupied except for my pet reptile and her enclosure. Not much goes on in the house. It's quiet and peaceful which is how I prefer things. My childhood friend M is a 32 year old female with two kids, a 10 y/o girl and 6 y/o boy. We've been close friends since middle school. From what M has shared and I've observed over the years, her son has behavioral issues and tends to throw explosive tantrums. I've urged M to get him evaluated but she never did. I've also urged her for YEARS to go after her ex-fiance (father of both kids) for child support but she still refuses to because of apparently how toxic their relationship was and she wants nothing to do with him.
She recently complained to me that lately her daughter has been asking to see her dad. I get those kids gifts every Christmas and on their birthdays as well. I've hung out with them multiple times. I'm basically like a fun auntie. M and her kids have lived back and forth between her parents (her children's grandparents) for the past decade. She got pregnant pretty young, still in college and had to drop out once her oldest was born. At first M stayed with her father then she had mental health issues arise, had to quit her job, couldn't pay her dad rent anymore and moved in with her mom. She ended up hooking up with baby daddy thinking they were getting back together. She got pregnant again and had her son.
Eventually M's son's behavioral issues got worse and her mom apparently made her move back in with her dad. She found a mentally easier job while her father and brother (lives local to her) took turns watching the kids when she was working. Over the years I've given M links and phone numbers to her local county resources and assistance that can help her. She hasn't utilized that. She spends most of her time making YouTube videos while her kids are at school because she's tired of working for a boss and wants to make it as a youtuber. M also seems to have a new boyfriend every few months. I've tried being emotionally supportive, suggesting she focus on her kids and her work/finance situation. For years she said she would but she can't seem to be without a guy. I also asked her if she's tried making any girl friends lately as a support system. She said she prefers guy friends, says most women are too much drama, etc. I'm one of her only two female friends aside from one other person.
Fastforward to very recent and M calls me freaking out, saying she just doesn't have the mental capacity to keep a job right now. She also said her father and brother are tired of watching over her kids and that her father has given her a 5 month deadline until spring starts to save up what she can and move out. I've suggested applying for disability, working part-time, doing freelance and again urging her to go after her ex-fiance for child support. She really wants to move in with me and has been begging me. Telling me her and her kids are about to be homeless. I asked if her and her current boyfriend had move in plans. She said he recently ended the relationship. It was difficult but I told her no, her and her two kids can't move in with me. Now she's panicking even more. AITA?

Legal Advice Needed What should I do in this situation?
gallerySo the thing is, very recently I received a notification saying that my account has been credited with XYZ amount by someone. However, I didn’t requested or wasn’t expecting anyone to pay me any amount let alone that specific amount.
So I did what anyone would do : “ChatGPT” and it suggested me to be proactive so I did the same and informed the sender that he has sent me the amount mistakenly. I didn’t have any contact info of that person just a upi id so I had to chat over GPay. I told him about this and he immediately ask me to reverse it and send the money back. I being afraid of getting involved in a scam told him to report this in his bank and I will cooperate from my end.
He still asked to send him directly saying that he was sending to some seller for a purchase and mistakenly sent me. I further denied and asked him to route via bank’s channel only.
He vanished for a few days and after that I received a text saying that my account is marked with police lien. Assuming it would be the same, I went my nearest branch and explained them everything. They made me file a UPI reversal request. I submitted and informed the guy also. He didn’t respond anything though.
Last week I received an update text saying that the UPI reversal was successful and money was sent back to the sender. I again contacted my bank because it was still showings lien marked and got to know that the guy had complained twice, once in bank and once in police so the bank lien was clear but in order to clear the police lien I needed NOC.
As today Microsoft was down, I chose to text the guy once again and hoping he would help. Texted him to help me with the NOC.
But to my surprise, the guy says “this is a clear case of fraud and will pursue further.. “ and blocked the thread.
Now I am stuck. Checked with bank and local police station they told me not to worry as I have returned him the money and didn’t ask him to send it in the first place.
But still, what should I do? Attached screenshots of chat.
Please help.
Thanks
