Girls, be wary of the next random guy who offers to buy you a drink at a bar – because he might ask for a refund.

That’s what happened to Abby Fenton when she got a text two weeks after her encounter with the mysterious ‘Liam’ on a night out.

The 18-year-old thought she wouldn’t hear from the stranger who bought her a Vodka and Coke again, but then he asked for his £6.50 back in a brazen text.

Abby, who is about to start a biomedicine degree at Leeds Beckett University, agreed to pay him back.


She said: ‘I paid him back straight away even though I wasn’t going to at first as I thought it was so cheeky, but then I thought he might have needed it.’

We all have a mate who is a bit cheap, but this is taking it a bit far.



‘Liam’ apparently didn’t feel like he got his money’s worth from Abby – but we like to think he was mulling over the wording of the all-important text for the entire two weeks after they met in Viper Rooms, Sheffield.

In the end, he settled for: ‘Hi hope u don’t mind love but can you transfer me back £6.50.’

After confirming his identity (cringe), he went with: ‘I bought yer a drink? Can I have money back for it. Will give u sort code and account no. Thank.’

Abby, from Barnsley, said: ‘I was at the bar about to get myself a drink myself when he came over to me and said ‘I’ll get that for you, you’re gorgeous’ and all that.

‘At first I didn’t realise he got my number as he didn’t text me that night or the next day.

‘He wasn’t my type really but I just thought that when you’re out, people buy you drinks.’

She added: ‘I remember that he wasn’t dressed so well. I always look at people’s shoes and I remember they were Primark shoes, so he might have needed it.’

Maybe he could use the £6.50 to buy some ice to treat that burn?

Abby posted their awkward conversation on Twitter, earning more than 10,000 retweets.

Her friend Pariss Robinson added: ‘I remember him being quite rude after saying to us both ‘I’d carry on talking to you but I can’t be bothered’ on which he then asked for her number.’
