CollegeCandy Confessions: The Bar Tab Bandit

Let’s face it: we’ve all done some pretty ridiculous things in our lives. Things we think are totally logical in the moment, but make us cringe when we think about them later on. Things that we’d only tell our best friend in person so she has no hard evidence to blackmail us with later. Things that we hide from the people who love us (and judge us) most. Things that even we, ourselves, wish we didn’t know about. But things that our friends, family, and fellow CollegeCandy readers are probably doing all the time, too.

Like all those online convos we’ve had with our friends…while pooping.

So here is our chance to let it all out. To share our secrets and find that maybe we’re not so crazy, so weird, so abnormal, after all. We’ll spill the beans every Tuesday and invite you to share your own similar experiences below. Just think of it as therapy. Or a really hilarious way to spend a Tuesday afternoon.

Confession: OK, so this isn’t something I’m proud of (at least now that I’m sober), but last weekend when I was at a bar I heard some guy adding drinks to his tab. When he walked away, I found another bartender and gave that guy’s name for my order. And it worked! I ended up ordering drinks on that guy’s tab all night and didn’t spend a dime.

Got a confession? Get it off your chest here. Don’t worry, we won’t judge. How can we when we sneak flasks into bars so we can drink for free?

    Tried my best not to judge but….a night of drinking can be pretty frickin expensive and if someone did that to me I might not be able to pay my bills soooo that's pretty low. Maybe one or two drinks is passable as fun but a whole night? That's pretty low.

    1. Shame on you.

    2. If he's too damn stupid to check his tab, shame on him.

    3. If he did, someone got a very small tip-out BECAUSE OF YOU!

    4. Shame on you.

    Is your major Business, or Political Science/GINT?

    I laughed… but I to go out with limited funds and would have been upset when the bill came out.. but I bet he called on it and it was removed off his tab… chalk it up to .. to much to drink and leave a big tip next time…

    I know you're trying to free yourself of this burden, but this really was a rotten thing to do. It's a shame you can't find this guy, apologize, and pay him back. If this is how you are when you're drunk, maybe you should have someone watch you.

    I was on a date and someone did this to the guy I was with. The bar took it off and the guy who did it was kicked out.

    I've done that once before. I was at the bar and some guy cut in front of me and had this weird last name that he had to spell out. So I took mental note, went to a different bartender and ordered drinks. It happens, don't kick yourself for it.

    If he did something rude to you . . . ok maybe one. It may have been wrong for you to do it, but the bartender should have verified the drink order before he/she gave you the drink. irresponsible on your part and the bartenders.
