  • Begging Bachelorettes

    There's a disturbing theme around here in regards to bachelorette parties, which is selling crap like mardis gras beads or suckers, otherwise just known as begging for drinking money (or money for whatever).

    I hate going out as it is, but my bf's sister was in town and she wanted to go out for a bit just to be back in a Wisconsin bar and not going to a super expensive club or paying out the wazoo for just a few drinks like she does back home.

    Being as Wisconsin is now completely smoke-free, it's no surprise that to get inside a bar, you have to walk past dozens of people smoking right outside the doors. Amongst that crowd were a few three sheets to the wind obnoxiously drunk bachelorettes, complete with their cheap plastic crowns and gawdy jewelery that makes them stand out as such.

    One in particular had the most annoying voice, and wouldn't stop yelling. She had an entire neck full of those cheap mardis gras beads.

    "DOLLAR FOR SOME BEADS! ANYONE WANT SOME BEADS FOR A DOLLAR? COME ON GUYS BEADS FOR A DOLLAR! BEADS FOR A DOLLAR! BEADS FOR THE BRIDE! COME ON BUY SOME BEADS FOR THE BRIDE AND THE BRIDESMAIDS!"

    And she continued and we totally tried to ignore her. My boyfriend finally said "No thanks!" and she looked right at me square in the eye, and....

    "WELL, YOU COULD JUST SAY NO, YOU KNOW! IT WOULD BE POLLLLIIIITTTE!"

    That's when Bitch Blas kicked in. I'm sorry, I just can't tolerate drunken stupidity and begging to begin with, nowadays it's worse than ever.

    "You could just shut the fuck up and buy your own drinks!" I snarled at her.

    She was so wasted that at first, she had this look on her face like she was going to try to come after me or start something, but then right after, like she was just going to start crying or pouting.

    "God I fucking hate annoying bachelorette parties. When *friend* got married, she insisted we don't do anything like that because classy ladies don't need to beg to have their drinks bought for them!"

    (Ok so that wasn't exactly true, she insisted we didn't do it because it's annoying. I just had to make idiot girl feel worse)

    Not my best moment, but I hate beggars and I hate drunks. There you go.

    The begging thing at these kinds of functions is a new one on me.....hmm. From what you described it sounds pretty damn dumb too.

        Pretty rich when someone who is shaking down strangers for booze money while drunk is gonna call someone out on what's polite and what ain't.

          So in her world, "no thanks" equals not polite? Hate to hear what she thinks is polite.

            I saw this in the bar i used to frequent.

            Except the bachelorettes didn't realize they were in a gay bar. I would have gave them a buck, but they skipped over me to hit up the gays on both sides of me. Finally someone clued them in on why all the gentlemen seemed utterly disinterested and they left looking embarrassed.

              hey, you want my dollar for those beads, earn it; give the nastiest guys in the bar 10 min lapdances and i'll buy your beads.

              wow, lacking in class and intelligence; glad i don't go to bars anymore.

                I thought that the ladies RECEIVED the beads for, um, "flashing." I'd be glad to do the same, but they'd probably need a few gallons of brain bleach afterwards. (Yeah, I'll lift my shirt for some beads -- but I ain't paying for them...)

                  Behavior like this makes me glad I stay the Hell home where it's safe and quiet.

                  Last time I set foot in a bar or nightclub was over 15 years ago and even then (and I was in my mid 20's at the time) I felt so self-conscious and out of place I said I'd never go back.

                  Not my thing at all . . . now a nice restaurant with a bar is a different story. But I haven't been out for a girl's night out in probably a decade or better.

                      They must have been really drunk, because from what I've seen, gay bars make it pretty obvious that they are such.

                        Eh, this one has a rainbow flag painted on the door. Besides the patrons, thats as gay as it gets. It looks more like a dive bar than anything. As I recall, they seemed fairly sober, but I was more focused on watching the tv and enjoying my drink

                          o god. ... i haven't really thought of a bachlorette party for when i eventually get married

                          to be honest i'd rather go to a spa ... hell even going fishing sounds better than begging for drinks like a barwhore

                          actually going fishing sounds a LOT better. and the spa of course. ... alcohol is acceptable of course (after fishing and maybe during and after the spa) but... i'd rather have my drinks while relaxing. maybe bring my own even ... my favorite champagne for instance. can't get that in most bars. and if you can... i'd hate to see what they'd charge for it.

                          but not begging / whoring for drinks

                            It is trends such as this that made me decide to have a quite lunch in a really nice restaurant for my "Bachelorette" do (or Hen's night as they are known here in Oz) I'm not into the nightclub scene, I dont drink alot and I refused to advertise to the entire world that I was berift of taste by wearing a plastic crown and pink sash.

                            My girlfriends and I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of good food, a bottle or 2 of wine and great conversation.

                            The beads for sale thing is a new one though, will have to keep an eye out for it here.......

                              I so want to go to a gay bar... I can't believe we have one here, we're like conservative/religious central. Buuuttt I don't wanna get drunk, so I don't really want to go to a bar...

                              I can't imagine begging other people to buy me drinks just because it's a bachelorette party, though. That sounds SOOOO trashy. "Here, lemme flash my boobs at you even though I'm getting married soon!" Although to be fair, the bride wouldn't necessarily flash anyone...it just seems kinda wrong to do that though if you're engaged and about to be married. Maybe my prude streak is showing.
