There are three things that I’m afraid I’ll do when I’m drunk that will cause me to go bankrupt – order an UberCHOPPER and take it around the city for hours on end, drunkenly buy a bunch of things I can’t afford (and can’t return), and over-tip on a tab that probably requires somewhere around $4.50 in gratuity.
My nightmares became a reality for one Edgewater, Colorado man who tipped $1,088 on a $60 dinner at a phenomenally named restaurant, Thailicious. The man allegedly did not mean to tip that insane amount, and the restaurant employees decided to hold it just in case he came back with some drunken regret. And he did.
Per Yahoo:
“He said, ‘I’m sorry, I was drunk,’” the restaurant’s owner, Bee Anantatho, related. It seems as if in his deep state of hammeredness, the customer was unaware of just how much cash he had on him. The owner assumes that the customer thought the bills he was leaving as a tip were $1 each, but in fact, they were $100s.
There wasn’t really a part of me that felt bad for this guy in the first place. After all, as someone that’s afraid of doing this myself, I feel as though I’d deserve my fate if I get that drunk and make that bad of a decision. But it’s really hard to feel bad for a dude that get so drunk that he mistakes ten $100 bills for ones. Hell, it’s hard to feel bad for anyone that has ten $100 bills in their pocket in the first place.
The restaurant did indeed give him the money back, but it wasn’t all a big sob story for the waiter who got jobbed by this whole ordeal. He was still given a $100 tip, so it was probably all worth it. .

I definitely assumed this would have been a credit card situation, where you just write”$1000″ on the tip line because you’re drunk and you think it’s funny. Actually tipping $1k in cash is just ridiculous. Who carries around that much cash? This guy is obviously making a lot more than I am, so I wouldn’t really feel bad if the waiter refused to give him his tip back.
A drug dealing Indian giver, that’s who.
I’m like 85% sure thats a racist term. Agree that he was probs a drug dealer though
No it actually resonates with the white man because in most Native Amarican traditions, gift giving was to be reciprocated back with equal value but the European settlers just kept taking and taking until they drove the Natives into small contained communities rampant with alchoholism and lost identity. Kind of like what we’re doing over in the Middle East expect they are brown people instead of red people and if you subtract the alchohol part with drones.
The waiter will have a GoFundMe set up by lunch.
Don’t carry that much cash if you can’t afford to lose it.
Used to deliver pizzas, a lady in a massive beach side house gave me some singles as a tip with a hundo at the bottom. Sat in the car for about 5 minutes before I decided I should call her up and ask if she meant to tip that. She didn’t.
Good on you

These ads always remind me of the show Life and Times of Tim, which is basically animated PGP. There’s an episode where Tim lies about making $100k+ selling sausages in Manhattan while he’s unemployed and his gf’s dad quits his job to do the same…obviously lose it all. You spammers are just Tim, but at least Tim was cool.
