Tarkus posted:The only reason it's weird is because people have a weird notion that milk is a drink for a child. Hate to break it to people, it's not. It is a normal beverage these days and I've seen people from 3 years old to 80 years old order it and it's fine. Well, I mean technically.... Although if we're splitting those hairs it's not like we're cows either.

I've never seen anyone order milk in a bar outside of a movie, where they're establishing the patron is a repressed weirdo. If you order milk at a bar, you may be considered a repressed weirdo. If someone ordered milk at a proper pub, or at a dive I'd assume they're angling for attention, or some type of new religious weirdo. It'd be more understandable at a restaurant/bar, where there's a big food menu. It'd still be unusual. Also, bars don't carry stacks of milk. It's used for a few drinks, but a whole glass depletes their supply pretty quickly.

AITA for indirectly putting my siblings on the spot on Facebook?quote:I (25F) have two older half siblings (50F and 48M) we have the same dad (73M). I don't have a good relationship with my siblings mainly because of the age difference and being the "other" sibling. I don't really try to build a relationship with them as they never tried with me. I only talk to them when it's involving our dad.

I think the argument is about societal norms. Is drinking milk in a bar not a societal norm? no, it's not. Is there any good reason for milk to not be ordered in a bar? I can't think of any. I have a tendency to dislike 'just because' societal norms. If the bar has milk on hand, somebody is paying and they're willing to serve it then they should be able to order a glass of milk and it shouldn't be weird. There's no harm in it and the reasons for them to not drink something else shouldn't matter. I think that's why I have a bone to pick with this topic. I'll end my role in the derail.

I've see people order milk in bars. The trick is to follow up by asking for it to be served in a dirty glass to establish that you're just as tough as anyone else in the saloon.

Every bar or restaurant I've ever worked at 99.99% of our milk supply got poured into 8 oz plastic cups with a lid and a bendy straw and a drawing of a cowboy or an astronaut on the side. One time I was sitting at the counter of a greasy spoon and a grown man ordered a chocolate milk with his breakfast and the guy behind the counter said "ok pendejo".

I don't know what you think "weird" means if "acting in a way that's different from expected norms" doesn't count. Like, what other definition is there?

this whole milk derail reminds me of the worst date I have ever had. We both sat down and he seems nice enough. the unthinkable happened. loving milk?! Are you kidding me? Who would order milk....on a first date? Was he trying to throw me off my guard? Was I on a hidden camera right now? No. I instantly realized there was something wrong with this person. Not only that, but they could be potentially dangerous. Maybe even deranged. Sure, it could be an affectation or pretending to be that guy from the professional? But it could be so much worse. you guys know what I'm talking about. So I did the only thing I could. I told him he was a nice guy but that I didn't see us going anywhere, there's no chemistry and I also read out a laundry list of what I didn't like about his personality, an itemized list of his faults, and the character problems that I think contribute to those faults, and capped it all off by saying I thought that he should be locked up in a mental asylum. And that I had to leave. Now. As you can expect, he was not too pleased But I'll tell you this much. I'm not locked up in some sadist's milk dungeon right now.

John Murdoch posted:I love that throughout this derail nobody thought that you could just ask the other person why they ordered milk. You know, engage in conversation, with your date. Who you're presumably trying to get to know? 100% this. *date orders milk* Normal person :Hmm that is slightly out of the ordinary. "Hey, why did you order milk? Instead of beer, wine, whiskey, or any other more conventional beverages." Date gives reasons, of which "because I felt like it" is a possibility and an acceptable answer. Others may be "I'm driving, so dont want to drink alcohol", "I am a recovering alcoholic so I don't drink alcohol anymore" or "alcohol reacts badly to the medication/antibiotics I am on today" etc. Date continues as before, with the choice of drink not being a factor in whether or not there is a next date. It could also be "I am a manic pixie dreamgirl, love my quirks. I demand it!!", but to assume it is that, says more about you than the milk orderer or her date. Edit: Human Tornada posted:Every bar or restaurant I've ever worked at 99.99% of our milk supply got poured into 8 oz plastic cups with a lid and a bendy straw and a drawing of a cowboy or an astronaut on the side. Just adding this one in to say that flavoured milk is AWESOME for breakfast. If you have not had a meal of Baked Beans on toast accompanied with a Strawberry Big M, then I implore you to do so as soon as is humanly possible.

If a person you're very attracted to orders milk in a bar you're barely going to note it or even think it was cute. If someone you do not vibe with orders milk in a bar you're going to bring it up when explaining why you don't want a second date. It's very simple.

Friendship ended with MILK DERAIL AITA for complaining that my wife and sister drink too much water? quote:My wife and I roommate with her sister and husband(brother in law). This Saturday, my brother in law had to go out of town so that left me, my wife, and her sister to ourselves. These two ladies drink an insane amount of water. Almost every time you see them they're downing a glass of water. I get it, I get it, water is healthy. I don't drink it that much. I can't stand the flavorless taste. We have one of those water dispensers like you see in a typical office building. They don't drink water from the faucet because it tastes bad. Even me, the non water drinker, will agree with that. Now WATER DERAIL is my best friend

If your date orders milk and you decide to order milk too, is it weird because you’re ordering milk, not weird because they already ordered milk, or weird because you ordered the same thing as them?

If you order milk and your date orders milk too, there's nothing weird about it. Like the OK sign ordering milk is a way to discreetly show white supremacist leanings with a veneer of plausible deniability. Ordering milk as a follow up, shows that you've got the memo and are ready to discuss phrenology and race pseudoscience

What if she was under 21 and a JRPG protagonist? Every time my character enters a bar and talks to the bartender, they'll offer him milk and tell him to come back later. Clearly that means ordering milk at a bar is completely normal.

Forget milk. Milkshakes are where it's at. Unfortunately most bars don't serve those. I did have a bourbon milkshake at a restaurant once, but honestly I'm not a huge fan of bourbon so it felt a bit superfluous.
