You really should follow the advice of those who said talk to an attorney and not the cops. You may not be able to get your money back, but you might be able to get this club shut down. Could help the next guy whose thinking like you did.

I mean you could TRY challenging it with your credit card company, but it probably won't do any good.

> We just keep telling ourselves at least we're home, alive, and not in jail.

That really is the most important thing. You're safe at home and not in jail. Or on a gurney in the morgue.

Did we really need all that backstory, setting the scene? I’m thinking the first 2 1/2 paragraphs simply served as evidence of fetish and creative writing.

2/10 do not recommend.

never do work stuff on a personal machine, never do personal stuff on a work machine!

Do you have any source on this? I've heard a number of claims about the effects of tea preparation on caffeine content, but very little evidence.

And TIL Bai has caffeine. Explains a lot.

Yeah, I don't see any way out of the charge. They covered all their bases, and we fell right into their trap. There will definitely be some financial damage here, and I will be paying for it for a while. We just keep telling ourselves at least we're home, alive, and not in jail. I just hope that someone sees this and thinks twice about going out to these clubs because this stuff happens. We're not partyers, we don't go out and do this stuff, we're both recently single it was my birthday and we just wanted to have a good time. If it happens to us, it can happen to anyone. Heck, half the people in this thread keep telling me to go watch the movie Hustlers. I might watch it eventually but the last thing I want to do right now is keep thinking about this whole thing.

I appreciate all the help guys . Just be careful out there <3

i feel you. i don't handle my caffeine well since it can make me nauseous and gives me bad stomachaches and heart palpitations, and it takes AGES for it to go away. one time i drank this matcha tea and it took me a whole day for the effects to fully go away. fun times.

"dad? hey! whats up! i have great news. remember how you said i should just get out there and test the waters?! and that its ok to move on and that janice wouldve wanted me to be happy? well, guess what...!?"

You need to go drink some green tea. It counters the effect of black tea.

Which is probably why the strip club didn't put the charge as "$9,000 for cocaine off of a stripper's ass" and instead charged it as "service fees". And then videotaped him authorizing the charges after having his high ass calling the cc company authorizing the charges (he mentions this in the comments).

Soooo... prove your statement in a court of law against the credit card company that fronted him the money to conduct his illegal activity that he know owes money to.

The cc company is covered on their end with plausible deniability, especially since none of them were there. And they're not the ones who paid for titties or drugs, so guess what? That falls to OP. He charged it.

But let's pretend the cc company doesn't pay out because what he did was illegal. How does that cancel out the debt to the strip club owners? And are these the kind of guys who'll sue or break your legs to get their money?

Please please please drink water too

Aw that's cute LOL

It’s illegal to purchase drugs with a credit card so the card company wouldn’t honor the purchase if you told them the truth.

Dumb question but would making yourself vomit help?

as a (black) tea drinker, i do approve of the department having the option of tea. As a chronic overthinker, when my department had coffee/tea hour, i think we had about 6 kinds of tea, black, decaf black, and herbal.

I have also just taken a glass of hot water (maybe with lemon) when i want a warm drink but not caffeine (I haven't found many herbals i like)

Quick tip: steep tea for 30 seconds and then discard that water and steep again for 30 seconds longer. 99% of the caffeine will drop in that first steeping.

“The Cleaners”

Right? There’s no way that ass wasn’t raw afterwards.

Im adhd and dont take my meds so, makes sense

Caffeine doesn't do a goddamn thing to me - first time I ever had espresso I fell asleep in my chair ten minutes later. And it isn't because I drink caffeine often, all I have is a cup of either black or herbal tea five or six nights a week (been known to go herbal for a week at a time) and I don't even like coffee.

Someone I know is a hardcore addict. Like, her need for caffeine has a significant negative impact on her day-to-day life, finances, and physical and mental health, that kind of addict.

And then there's you, who has one single cup of black tea and goes full tweaker.

Caffeine is bizarre stuff.

I’m confused. How is telling someone about your gfs abortion a joke? How do you think any of this can be considered jokes? Seriously please explain how any of your ‘jokes’ are meant to be funny.

This sounds absolutely horrendous, I’m sorry you had to experience that!
