Bartenders hear all sorts of things. People don’t usually sit at a bar to be sober and quiet, so between being the patient ear to some poor guy’s sob story and hearing some drunk couple plan out the rest of their evening, you know they’ve heard some absolute doozies.
In this AskReddit article, bartenders reveal the weirdest conversations they’ve ever heard on the job.
#1. Categorize them
“I overheard a woman who worked for a New Zealand online dating service, and was basically a profile censor. She described her job as being 80% dick pic removal, and had seen so many she could divvy them up into a few distinct categories.”
#2. Sounds fun
“I once heard a guy tell his buddy, “It’s fun, it’s like laser tag but with real guns” That was twenty years ago and to this day kick myself for not getting the whole story.”
#3. These are on the house
“A customer is on the phone in the middle of the bar, not too crowded but a long bar. Guy couldn’t have been more than 25. I go to help someone at the end of the bar and on my way back I overhear:
“No, I don’t care! She’s my sister, she is THIRTEEN and there is no reason she should be doing cocaine! At all!”
Gave him a few drinks on the house that night.”
#4. Shady business
“I heard some chick say “and the worse part about it, is that lucky bastard got a whole gram of crystal out it for free.”
#5. Now I’m in love with myself
“I hated myself until I discovered masturbation.”
#6. Classy
“Had a husband and wife who were by far the most rude people I’ve ever encountered, talking with a traveling business man. By the end of the night the business man was propositioning the woman to go back to his hotel room for some money.”
#7. Lots of cheating
“Lots and lots of cheaters. It’s weird that serial cheaters take their girls to the same spot.”
#8. Heated argument
“I’ve bartended but my favorite conversation was overhead while I was on the other side of the bar. “Look all I’m saying is Grand Theft Auto severely ruined our generation’s perception of how many police helicopters exist.” Sounded like they were getting really heated over the matter haha.”
#9. Awwwww
“Even though we were busy, I clearly heard a women say to her friend, “Hey look, the bartender’s really cute.”
Friend: “No he’s not!”
Response: “Oh yeah, you’re right.”
#10. Negotiations
“Work in a downtown hotel bar right across from our convention center. I’ve heard way too many negotiations between businessmen and escorts.
Last one I heard involved the guy asking the lady how much extra she would charge to let his friend watch.”
#11. Tennis ladies
“I bartended at a country club, and there was this one group of tennis-ladies that would always sit at the bar and get absolutely sh*tfaced on weeknights at our wine nights. They took a liking to our main bartender and kept calling him exotic (he’s Mexican), they would say how love his beard, would talk about their fav (not tennis related) positions, how they kept their nether-regions tidy, slip him their numbers, how sh*t their husbands were, etc. Gave me death glares every time I’d be bartending/bar backing with him lol.”
#12. So obvious
“On Valentine’s Day this year, we had a guest who accepted a FaceTime from his girlfriend while his side-chick was with him at the bar. He angled the phone so his girlfriend wouldn’t see the girl, but it was so obvious.”
#13. Hahahaha
“Two businessmen having after work drinks on a Friday, where the conversation built up to one of the sweetest sentiments I’ve heard. At first the usual “Lemme tell ya, you’re a good person. I love you man.” Later on (still fairly basic): “Fuck the wives! Hey, you and me, we buy motorcycles!”
To finally this gem: “If a tornado were to blow you away… I would fly after you.”
#14. Adorable
“Guy: “I think I’m going to need a coke chaser for this one.” Girl, presumably SO: “we already did all the coke…” Guy: “Coca Cola, you idiot!”
Not even the most memorable, just the most recent. For sure, a real snapshot into their relationship.”
#15. Wonder how that worked out…
“I once listened to three people have an in depth discussion about how they were going to kill the “local vampire” and the steps to take to protect themselves from the coven that said vampire is surely from.
My favorite though what a heated debate over whether the first Robin would be a crime fighter if Batman hadn’t picked him up and trained him.”
