I don’t drink as much beer as I did when I was younger, so these days I’m more likely to order a vodka and soda when I go to a bar.
That’s a fitting drink for a grown man, right?
Well, apparently not…
Because when I ordered this exact drink a few weeks ago, the bartender laughed in my face.
Strange, right?
And I guess this was not an isolated case.
Check out what happened in this story from Reddit.
“I was on holiday with my son (14) and we watched football in a bar in the evening.
I don’t really drink much, but I like to enjoy a cocktail on vacation.
The waitress came over and asked if we wanted anything to drink. I ordered a pina colada and she giggled a little at the order, laughed a little “okay” and then walked away to make it.
That’s funny …
This annoyed me a little, I’m just a grown man who wants to drink a delicious cocktail, what’s wrong with that?
When she brought the drink back, I got my little revenge.
As she placed the drink on the table, I said, “My mother loved these, God rest her soul. I always drink one on the anniversary of her death to remember her.”
It worked!
She looked horrified and tried to shuffle away quickly, so I asked her for a cocktail stirrer so she had to come back.
When she came back, I took a sip from the straw, kissed my hand and pointed to the sky, trying to look sad.
She was visibly so uncomfortable that I had to suppress my own laughter.
She then conspicuously avoided our table several times.”

Isn’t it time we let men be men and allow them to order fruity drinks if they want?
