    Customers hitting on people at their job.

    Was eating lunch at a bar one time when three dude bros came in and started hitting on the bartender. They weren’t overly aggressive but it was obnoxious.

    She handled it really well. She looked each of them in the eye, smiled, introduced herself and shook each of their hands in turn. She stated she was a professional and appreciated being treated like one. She was friendly but firm.

    Shut them right the fuck up. They behaved much better after that.

      This one’s a pet peeve, especially if the guy is with me.

      IMO it’s one of the easiest ways to discover your friend likely has zero game with women who aren’t paid to be nice to them. But that also means it’s a good opportunity to help the friend figure out why they’re striking out all the time and maybe in the process help them be less of a bore.

      Btw, if you’re a guy reading this and feel called out, you might be thinking
      “What, so bartenders and waitresses are totally off-limits?”
      Of course not. You can shoot your shot, just stay holstered until the bill is paid and/or they’re off the clock. (Unless they fire first, then good luck.)
