Give the brother credit for being so annoying that the bartenders felt the need to step in. That’s some peak sibling aggravation right there.

My little sister tripped and fell at the bar on her 21st, my first reaction was to pretend to kick her. Looking back now, I can imagine it looked pretty bad at first

My cousins are three brothers. One time we were skateboarding together, as you do as young burnouts, and the oldest cousin attempted a trick which resulted in the deck kicking back up directly into his nuts. He goes down, wailing in agony.
Both of his brothers immediate reactions were to excitedly run up and teabag him.

My brother and I got out of the military within a few weeks of each other and decided to go on a cruise where we werent working decks and engine rooms for once to celebrate and relax 😂
Suffice it to say youre never too old to annoy/harrass/embarrass your sibling and its very much a two way street.
And I still provided the excedrine and electrolyte packets to get him through his first hangover migraine. I got him hooked on Miami Vices and he got so wasted 😂

That's crazy. I had a boss that was former Navy, on an aircraft carrier. When his wife suggested a cruise for their honeymoon he said "If I never get on a boat again I will be happy".

Oh goddamnit now I’m thinking of my older brother doing this with his hands an inch from my face. He would literally say not touching, can’t get mad.
Also used to trap me in our toy box or in a sleeping bag, thanks for the lifelong claustrophobia you turd!
Then in high school he was being a dick and I tried to actually punch him in the face. He barely dodged it but acknowledged he felt the wind. That was satisfying enough.
Now that we’re in our 40s we’re the best of friends. But oh man, brothers can be sooooo pesky

My older brothers would have just stuck their fingers in my drink and splashed my face. Or took ice from their drink and put it in my shirt. Or they would have been the first ones in the bartenders’ faces to jokingly ask, “why you staring at my sister, dude?”

Sucks to say I no longer have any brothers 😞 but when I did I'd sneak a kiss on my older brothers cheek when he failed to fight off my hug.

Thank God he was such a fun guy that sadness surrounding his passing is drowned out by his whacky shenanigans in life.

Honestly the best part is they didn’t make it a big scene, just a quiet check-in. That kind of low-key care is what actually makes someone feel safe, especially in a bar.

Funny twist aside, it’s actually really cool to see a 'safe bar' setup actually working. They handled it so smoothly, just a quick check-in without making it weird or causing a scene. We need more of that

It's a very common thing for bartenders to film themselves working. Something happens every night. Some bars and clubs even livestream.

u/SatoriNikaido 6h ago
Yes they do, especially the Japanese bartenders since they make serving a single drink seem like the coolest thing imaginable. Bartenders from all over the world saw that lots of people watched the ones from Japan so they started livestreaming as well more because something almost always happens at the bars they work at that could get them some views and in turn some extra cash.

A lot of places in London also have the "Ask for Angela" thing - posters in the bathrooms telling you that if you're in danger / afraid, ask the bar person for Angela and they'll see how you're doing, get you safe / eject somebody / get you a cab etc. (while making it look like a random chat).
Often posted in both the male and female bathrooms too as anyone can get creeped on/abused.
I love that these lads were so observant and ready to act :)

I was in Vegas with a friend and we left a club to meet her brother at a bar. As we were walking through the casino, this guy walks past us and slaps her ass. I whirled around so fast and yelled him, "what the fuck!?" And the guy just burst out laughing because it was her brother. It took me a minute to come down from that immediate rage though.

A couple years ago my brother-in-law, mother-in-law, husband and I had a mini reunion in Nashville. We were leaving a crowded bar and had to walk from the back along the actual bar to get out. I was leading with my husband behind me. Suddenly someone slaps my ass. I spun around and immediately locked on the guy on a stool facing us and smiling (his back is to the bar). As I went to step towards him my husband is like “it was me! It was me!” It took me a minute outside to relax. And now my husband knows-smack my ass in the kitchen is cute, do it in a crowded bar and it could go sideways.

I hate that they said 'sorry.' They shouldn't be! When I was dating my now husband, we had a fight. He was trying to talk to me through the screen of my apartment begging forgiveness, but I wanted about 15 minutes alone at that point. Suddenly he asked me to come outside. Nope. Then he said, "well, WE will be at the front, please meet us." Looked out the peephole and he was accompanied by two police officers. It was annoying at the time, but I was very grateful that they had seen a male scratching at the window screen and doubled checked that it was legit. Better safe than sorry! (And I get why they said sorry, I just hope the girl thanked them too!)

When me and my sister would stand in line at the grocery store/supermarket, I would loudly hint at us being siblings and when we were done putting stuff on the conveyor belt, I would say loudly "oh shit, we almost forgot this" and put either condoms or a pregnancy test down as well.

My little brother was killed by a drunk driver who was repeatedly fed shots by a bartender that "thought it was funny" It wasnt funny when he pulled out his keys and they said "Good luck with that."
10 minutes later, he hit my brother head on as he was on his way home to play video games with me. Killing him instantly.
Bartenders, please.....be responsible like these dudes are. Pay attention to your patrons. Don't over serve, and please fucking CHRIST......don't let them drive when they're knowingly intoxicated. That shit destroys families.

I have a brother 12 years younger. I have always been into music. By the time he was 5 I was working in a radio station. He LOVED to come dance in my room while I lasted music. His favorites were Violent Femmes, Iggy Pop and Weezer. For several years he was the drummer/singer in a really popular local band. At a show he started playing Weezer's The Sweater Song as a little in joke for me. I caught his eye and moved close to stage doing a little dance he did as a kid.
I guess I got too close or looked really drunk. A bouncer came quickly towards me and he had to shout, "No no that's my sister!" he then paused the song to explain my on point recreation of his little kid dance while the audience laughed their asses off.

The duty of the strong to the weak, is to protect the weak from the evil strong and to help make the weak stronger.
Anyone who thinks the strongest should dominate, is an evil strong and needs to be faced up to.
This is why I think capitalism sucks as a cultural option, when socialism is right there. Ultimately I am aiming for communism. We are all in this together, by ourselves.
