People Are Sharing Times Strangers Saved Them From Stalkers And Creepy Dates (20 Tweets)

There’s nothing quite as harrowing as realizing you’re either being followed or you’re on a date that’s about to get real creepy real fast. And sometimes, we really need a kind person to step in and step up to get us out of that situation.

Bartender Laura Motta shared a quick story of a bartender saving her from a very negative experience and the story led to a viral tweet and thousands of others sharing similar tales.

1. Thank you for being a pretend friend

2. Oh man, girl, stay!

3. What an asshole

4. Well done!

5. Leering CVS

6. See? It’s weird.

7. King.

8. Oh my gosh, the TEARS this brought to me

9. Terrifying

10. No, sir.

11. Hi, bye!

I was at a restaurant for girls night out, we saw a young lady being harassed by an older guy at the bar. The momma bear in me kicked in. I went up and gave that guy a mean look and said to her Hi sweetie sorry to make you wait, Dad’s on the way. Him Bye! 👋🏼

12. Drink menu

I saw this “drink menu“ in the ladies room of a bar/restaurant in Lake Placid. Depending upon what drink you ordered that was a signal to the bartender of what kind of help you needed. I have blacked out the names of the drinks for obvious reasons. I wish all bars did this pic.twitter.com/dRURs9q4dq

14. Threw him out

I love this. I was once at a country bar dancing with a guy and decided I was done after he said something. He grabbed my arm as I tried to walk away. Bouncers grabbed him immediately and threw him out. So thankful for men that watch out for all women.

16. Make sure she’s ok

Walk me back to my hotel, and let me sit there with the ramen shop’s cat while two of the guys went to “make sure it’s okay.”

17. Get a new drink

Worked in bars for years. 2 nieces. When they reached the age, I told them listen to me now. Two rules in bars . Never leave your drink. If you do it by mistake get a new one. Two, if 5 arrive together, 5 leave together. Get his number on the way out. No One left behind.

18. Call it out!

I was in a movie theater once & a guy a few empty seats away decided to flash me. I stood up & said loudly, "This guy right here just pulled his pants down because he thinks he can shock me & scare me! This guy right here!"

Dude ran out the side door like the place was on fire.

19. EWWWWW.

At 13, I had a job cleaning the local card store on Sat. mornings (vacuum, etc.) Every time I went to the closet for supplies, the owner would “need” to squeeze in the tiny room too. The 16 yr old working the register started pulling everything out before I got there. My hero.

20. Love it.

I was at an Irish bar in Queens, NY. A guy wouldn’t leave me alone so the bar tender slammed a bat on the bar and said, “You heard the lady, finish your beer and get the fuck outta my bar.” I always thought it was very Irish that he let him finish the beer first.
