A woman was left in a pretty sticky situation while on vacation after she ordered a cocktail worth $2,400.
Being on vacation is a time to let your hair down and enjoy the finer things in life... within reason.
While it's easy to think that money is no object as you're sunning yourself while drinking cocktails, the reality is that you will cry at the sight of your bank account when you get home.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge advocate for splashing out, having a few drinks, and living life without any worries, but I like to think that I wouldn't order a $2,400 cocktail - no matter how drunk I was.
Lynsey Bennett took to TikTok to share her experiences, claiming that she "accidentally" ordered a ridiculously expensive cocktail and was unable to pay the bill.
Bennett and her husband were enjoying a night out in London during a vacation before deciding to cap off the evening at their hotel's bar. However, what was meant to be a nightcap turned into a costly affair when Bennett mistakenly ordered a cocktail named "1890."
“I always drink champagne; I rarely drink cocktails,” Bennett admitted on her TikTok before recounting how she unwittingly chose the priciest item on the menu at the 5-star hotel.
Unbeknownst to Bennett, the cocktail boasted an expensive brand of champagne, cognac, and even gold leaf. In her intoxicated state, Bennett misinterpreted the price, thinking "1890" meant $18.90.
“They presented the bill for £2,000 ($2,400), and I was like, ‘Uh oh, I can’t afford to pay that',” she confessed in her TikTok video.
The bartender, realizing the gravity of the situation, quickly sought assistance from the manager. Bennett reported that the manager handled the situation calmly, allowing her to return to her hotel room while assuring that the hotel would address the matter.
In a subsequent video, Bennett revealed that she revisited the bar a few days later, where the manager jokingly mentioned that the bartender faced termination but reassured her that he was undergoing additional training.
When one comment asked: "But like what was in it that made it come to that price," Bennett replied: "They opened a bottle of Christal Champagne, sprinkled gold leaf into it and 30 year old whisky. I must have been more tipsy than I thought."
A second comment said: "Surely he should have asked you to pay before making a drink that cost that much just to make sure you could afford to."
Bennett responded: "Yes, he should have bless him. He had just started and i think he was excited to make this cocktail."
Let this story come as a warning to make sure you know the costs of something before you buy it... and if someone starts sprinkling gold onto your drink, you've probably made a mistake.

We are all aware that there are some horrible people out there who will spike drinks, either to make their target vulnerable to assault or as a cruel prank. It is extremely difficult to get into the mindset of someone who would do this, or imagine how they can get away with it in a crowded bar or club. However, a recent video taken by a festival-goer has caught one man in the act.
Posted onto Twitter by the user Jaeda Sky, the short clip shows two women dancing at a festival with drinks in hand. Filming themselves in a selfie video, they are distracted just long enough for a man in the background to slip something into one of their drinks without either of them noticing.
"I’ll never understand how a dude can be so wack with no game and feel the need to be such a disgusting predator," Jaeda wrote in the tweet. "Ladies watch your drinks! Watch her cup".
The 15-second video has already gained over 175,000 likes, nearly 100,000 retweets and thousands of replies from people shocked by the video. One Twitter user replied to say, "Wow the drink can literally be in my own hand and I'll still get roofied".

She later reassured everyone who had seen the video that the owner of the drink realized what had happened and didn't finish her drink, so is thankfully completely fine after the incident.

It just goes to show that even a short lapse of concentration can give awful people the opportunity to hurt others. But the criticism shouldn't be directed at the women for not noticing what happened, but on the men out there that think this kind of behavior is by any means acceptable.

A video of a woman choosing to save a glass of champagne over a falling baby has divided the internet.
The viral clip shows the woman - who is believed to be from the US - holding an infant who is trying to reach for a champagne flute on a table.
Rather than moving the glass out of the way, she lets the baby grab the drink, which inevitably topples over. So, instead of saving the tot, the woman lets go of her hand that was supporting their back and tries to grab the drink without losing any of its precious contents.
But, this effort was unsuccessful as it quickly leads to the infant getting showered with bubbles and tumbling to the floor.
Watch the video below:
Footage of the incident was subsequently posted to Twitter with the caption: "When you've finally become an adult and have your priorities straight," where it amassed 100,000 likes.
The clip sparked a fierce debate online, with some people slamming the woman for letting the child fall. However, others claimed that she did the right thing and that by grabbing the glass, she prevented a more severe injury from happening to the baby.
One of the woman's defenders wrote: "If that glass had broken then there was a chance of proper injuries. Kid will be fine because they fall all the time. I get it."
Another person interjected: "She probably did the right thing here tho. If the baby took the glass down with them, it would’ve shattered in their face. I’d rather have my baby recover from a slight fall rather than cuts caused by glass."
A third remarked: "That was the right move," while a fourth user quipped: "That baby had no business touching that glass."
Meanwhile, one user criticized the woman, writing: "She shouldn't have grandkids at all if alcohol is within reach to a barely walking baby."
A second person blasted: "You know the baby wouldn't have fallen if she didn't LET GO TO PICK UP THE GLASS. She also chose to have glass around that baby. You act like this shit was calculated. She has garbage instincts. You realize this meme is about having terrible priorities right?"
A third critic shared: "Never would've happened if the glass hadn't of been in reach of the child," while one last user added: "Wonder what she checked for damage first - the baby or the rug?"
Do you guys think the woman was wrong for saving the champagne glass instead of the tumbling baby? Share your thoughts!

One man was certainly "lovin' it" during a recent trip to McDonald's, after walking away with an unexpectedly huge profit on his order.
Josiah Vargas received the shock of his life after going through the drive-thru at the fast-food chain. When he opened his bag afterward in the parking lot, however, he realized employees had accidentally given him a several-thousand-dollar deposit alongside his sausage McMuffin.
The confused customer - who uses the handle @dookiedoeboy - then took to TikTok to explain the puzzling incident. So far, his viral clip has racked up a total of 1.2 million views and over 285,000 likes.
In the video, Vargas holds up a white, plastic bag with the famous golden arch logo. As he opens it up, he reveals that it's filled with thousands of dollars of cold, hard, cash neatly packaged in little zip-lock bags.
Vargas begins the TikTok by detailing how he'd gone to his local McDonald's chain to get a sausage McMuffin. "What's in this bag? Their f**king deposits," he says, without revealing the restaurant's location.
"Just a couple thousand dollars here. Like, what is this? Why would they do this?", he continues. "Now I have to return this because I'm a good person, I guess."
The good Samaritan then returned to the McDonald's restaurant to return the dough, asking himself as he exits the car: "Why would you guys do this to me? Do you know how bad I want this money?"
As he entered the restaurant, Vargas jokingly asked the employees if they were laundering money, to which many of the staff members replied: "Oh my God." Evidently, they were relieved to be receiving their cash back.
One crew member even said she wanted to hug Vargas and take a photo with him. Clearly, the staff was so happy that Vargas returned the money that they even decided to reward him.
"They were just all hugging me and thanking me and crying, and I get free McDonald's for a month, I guess," Vargas said to the camera as he hopped back in the car, adding that he was also given a $200 reward.
Many people took to the comments to praise him for his good deed, with one person writing: "Someone kept their job because you did the right thing good on you man."
"Bro, you probably just saved all their jobs," another added.
"Your smile when you got back in the car. You're an incredible human being," a third person wrote.
Though, not everyone said the same thing. Other users said that they would have kept the money, like this person who commented: "When life gives you lemons, don't throw them away honey."

A woman lost all of her front teeth after knocking back seven mimosas during a boozy brunch.
The unfortunate individual, who goes by the social media handle @autumncathey6, shared her painful experience on TikTok – and the footage has since gone viral.
In the initially lighthearted video, the woman and her friends record themselves saying how many servings of the orange-flavored cocktail they have had so far.
However, the harmless afternoon out then descends into disaster.
Check out the moment the woman bares her damaged pearly whites:In the last part of the clip, @autumncathey6 can be seen drunkenly climbing on one of her friend's shoulders after knocking back a whopping seven mimosas – and that's when things take a turn for the worse.
"Oh s**t, she's getting on his shoulders," a friend is heard saying as he watches on.
"This is so not good," another person adds.
In the following shot, the TikToker can be seen in a car with a number of her teeth knocked out. It is not clear how exactly the accident happened as it had not been shown as part of the footage.
But fortunately, @autumncathey6 later posted a photo of her now-fixed set of gnashers on her Instagram Stories, stating that her "teeth are better".
The video has since gone viral on Twitter after it was shared by user @fernvndooo and has racked up 3.9 million views at the time of writing.
Needless to say, the people of the internet had plenty to say about her drunken escapades.
One critic asked: "Why are they bragging about mimosas like they just discovered the drink and if is something potent? It is just sparkling wine and orange juice."
Another wrote: "What can I say mistakes was made, why the f**k do they serve them so many drinks? And also how many views and clicks did you get on your TickTock ? Was it worth it ? [sic]."
A more sympathetic person hit back at the haters saying: "This is horrifying. I hope I never have to count on anyone like yall for a shred of compassion."
