To the restaurant on Spring Garden Rd. in which this bitch is bitching to, you bring me a beer, I take… what… 2 sips of it… then a FLY inside YOUR restaurant lands in it. “Well, if it had been in there when I poured it I would get you another one.” Umm, okay, I don’t want another, but I’m not exactly interested in paying for that one. When I look at my receipt? 8 dollars for a DRAFT beer that an insect IN your restaurant landed in. Not impressed. —Unimpressed Bitch

holy shit….
was it at least a thundermug’s worth?
and depending on the place, the pipes funneling the drought are worse for you than a dozen flies would be.
(You ‘Merkin… it’s drought here….)
And bitch we are unimpressed with you. It’s a fucking fly, big fucking whoop. It’s not as if flys aren’t at your place or landed in your beer or food.
So did you pay for it or not?
You are obviously a CFA. A true ‘Scotian’ would have wrung the last drops out of the fly and finished the beer.
GG i went to a work lunch at my former place of employment once and this chick got a fly in her water and got so pissed she reamed the server out about how disgusting it was and how she couldn’t finish her meal.
It’s a fly. Big deal. It could’ve flown in when someone opened the door.
Scoop the damn fly out and carry on.
I’m not saying that it has to be this way, but I would have just replaced the beer for OB. The cost of a beer is a cheap way to keep or lose a customer. I choose keep.
What is with people now? Everything that seems amiss to them is always a world class disaster and someone (not them) must be blamed.
The drink was served before the fly landed in it. In fact you drank from the glass before that happened, implying you accepted the item. Then horrors, a fly lands in it. Yes, not nice but that is life and you then have choices, either fish it out and take a chance and drink the brew. Or do not drink it and order another one (and yes paying for both), or just pay up and leave.
But it is not the fault of the server or the restaurant that a fly flew into it, after you started drinking it. As for the price, may be steep, but if price is and issue when you are out, ask the server about the prices of things before ordering. Saves shock later.
At least they did not jack it up to $9 – for the ‘extra protein’.
Since the restaurant created and bred the fly(which got loose from it’s flyjail in the breeding facility, obviously), they owe you another beer.
You poor, *poor* bastard…
waiter, there is a zipper in my soup. oh sorry, thought this was more of bitch above.
Reminds me of a joke I heard once, (keeping in line with Ivan’s solution to the problem) about an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman in a bar. Flies land in each of their drinks. The Englishman looks with obvious disgust, asks the bartender for a spoon, fishes out the fly and requests a fresh beer. The Irishman snickers, takes a big swig and spits the fly out on the floor. The Scotsman, reaches in, grabs the fly with his fingers and starts shaking it over his glass saying, “Alright ye wee basterd! Spit it oot! Spit it oot!”
this could even be a throwback to the second summit when we were making fun of the drunk fly that wouldn’t piss off out on victor’s veranda.
i remember on everybody hates raymond, when the brother’s girlfriend eats a fly
So, OB, how’s that 2 week stress leave going?

What’s wrong with expecting a new glass of beer if a fly lands in it? If I were a server I would be happy to replace the beer, it’s not mine and doesn’t cost me anything but a walk across the bar, and impressing customers with good service makes my tips bigger. If a fly landed on my glass, no problem. If a fly lands in my beer and is floating in it, problem. I don’t care where the fly came from, as long as I’m not on a patio, if it’s in my beer it’s in the wrong place and the beer needs to be replaced, at no cost to me (depending on how much I’ve already drank of course, more than half left… New beer for me please).
Yep new beer is needed. Must maintain good customer relations.
In some places they’d consider that a buffet meal and charge you accordingly.
Gordon Gekko…some people would have grabbed that fly held it over the glass & yelled “Spit it out , that’s an 8 dollar beer! ! !”

OB, grow the fuck up! Do you know how many insects and other stuff ends up in our food that comes off of grocery shelves? Take bread for example, bugs get into grain towers along with mice and other vermin crawling all over it. Now when that gets all ground up I’m sure they do their best to keep the vermin out, but they can’t help it if some flys, ants, and other pests get ground up and turned into a loaf of bread!
OP i don’t think you’re going to want to hear this.. but do you have any idea how many insects you ingest while you’re sleeping?
See bugs get thirsty too. And hungry. And the saliva and scents you drool from your mouth as you slumber every night attracts bugs. The average, tidy and clean household doesn’t have many bugs so it doesn’t happen often. But they get in no matter what. They say you eat THOUSANDS of bugs throughout your life.. usually when you don’t even realize it.
In the war on bugs, the bugs always win. Might as well drink up and try not to think about it.
The homeless would consider that fly free protein. OB, you’re the sucker for paying $8 for fly infested draft.
