Waiter prevents rape attempt

[chinto]

Well he could've gotten sued if he was badly mistaken or thought that he saw the man mickey the girl's drink and the police test found out there was nothing... but since the man was arrested and is in deep trouble it'd be pretty stupid for him to try to sue the waiter for wrongfully accusing him of trying to be a sleazebag.
He did the smart thing and managed to keep the drink so that it could be tested for drugs which lead to him helping the woman.

ya that was very very smart of him indeed.... in my town there is a story of a woman who was at a local bar who had all the symptoms of mickey fin (chloral hydrate) by the sound of it.... the drink was consumed .. and her girl friend who was with her and did not get a mickey it seems got her out of there and home... so I guess the old saw is true.. know your bar keep or watch them like a hawk... its not only in the old west ports like the Gold Coast (San Francisco California port ) and Portland Oregon's ports when they were shanghaiing sailors that Mickey fins get used.

And a word of wisdom for women...do NOT leave your drink unattended! Harder to do in a restaurant setting than a bar, but precautions must be taken. Either finish your drink before leaving for the restroom, or order a new one when you get back. This sort of thing is becoming far too common, no one thinks it will happen to them, until it does, and then it's too late.

That's good advice for both genders, actually. Women have pulled this stunt for years, too, their motive usually being robbery. Remember Ricky Martin's breakout hit, :a Vida Loca? The song referenced it.

Another variant is giving someone who's good for only one drink a "triple". Killers and rapists have been known to do that as well.

Its sound advice that neither gender should get too drunk in strange surroundings, let somebody strange fix the drinks or leave any drink unattended.

Definately good advice. I think it is also prudent when first meeting someone that when you go out on a date you double date or just go out with some friends.

That is sound advise

Yeah that too... because if the guy/girl is really interested in you then they're going to want to meet the people you hang out with, to find more compatibility factors. The one who wants to just "spend some time alone" usually either wants to get in your pants or has other nefarious intentions for you.

I was multi-quoting a couple comments here to echo and cheer on and the list kept growing, and ... well, you get the idea.

Nicely done by the waiter, and yes it would be nice if all wait staff would care to take notice and action such as this.
