Embarrassing truth comes out after TikToker boasts about throwing drink in man's face
A woman who went to TikTok bragging about throwing a drink in a guy’s face has been left embarrassed after the truth about what actually happened was revealed when the guy saw the clip. While TikTok can be a great place for sharing experiences, like when one woman recorded herself being bothered by men, it can also be a place for clout-chasing and misrepresenting the truth. One woman found that out recently when she posted a since-deleted clip, in which she claimed she had thrown her drink over a guy in a bar because he spilled his drink on her three times. But, while she may have thought the video was great content, the guy who she threw the drink over found the video and has since gone viral with his version of events that doesn’t exactly paint her in the best light. TikToker @tanmaybedi_, who goes by the name Tanmay, shared the video on his account, explaining that he was the guy who got the drink thrown at him. He captioned the video, “Not okay to throw a drink at someone and not take accountability for your actions.” @tanmaybedi_ Not okay to throw a drink at someone and not take accountability for your actions @Bink? #fyp #trending In the clip, he explained that he and his friends were relaxing at a bar when the woman and her friends came in and stood right next to them, despite the bar not being overly packed. Tanmay claimed the woman almost immediately turned around and accused the group of spilling a drink over her three times, despite her having just arrived at the venue. He continued: “My friend 'F' explains to the girl that his back was turned towards the girl, and my friend 'E' was totally on the other side, so without spilling on someone else, it would have been impossible to spill on this girl.” Next, he said his friend jokingly told the girl it was Tanmay, despite him having no drink in his hand. Tanmay explained: “Now, she does not think twice and grabs my friend’s drink, snatches it, takes the cup, empties the cup in my face and takes the cup and throws it on my face.” According the Tanmay, the girl also approached the bouncer, who appeared to be a friend of hers, who told the group of friends to leave the girl alone, despite them not having done anything. The clip has been viewed more than 4.4 million times, with people in the comments suggesting that Tanmay press charges for assault and expressing sympathy for what he went through. One TikToker wrote: “This guy seems like he would be the nicest guy at the bar.” “Isn't this technically assault?” asked someone else. Another person wrote: “Ask the bar for a videotape of the incident to press charges. There should be cameras in there.” Someone else argued: “Some people really think they can get away with anything because of attractiveness.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Man hires a naked cleaner as a 'treat' – but it all goes pearshaped
We all have our own coping mechanisms when it comes to heartbreak – whether that be sobbing into a friend’s shoulder, drowning our sorrows at the pub, or consuming ungodly amounts of chocolate. But one man sought a very different form of solace when his marriage ended and, let’s just say, it all went a bit t*ts up. The man opened up about his misguided attempt to console himself in a post shared to the popular ‘Fesshole’ X/Twitter account, where people share their most personal – and mortifying – secrets. In the anonymous confession, he explained that he’d hired a unique form of stripper to keep him entertained at home but, in the end, it wasn’t the “treat” he’d imagined it would be. He wrote: “Having split from my wife I hired a naked cleaner as a treat to myself. “But I find it so awkward sitting in my house, while a young naked woman dusts that I've started going out when I know she's coming. “So I'm parked up somewhere hiding while a naked woman cleans my empty house.” The admission racked up more than 980,000 views and 7,900 likes in just three days as streams of commentators offered less-than-complimentary assessments of the situation. “Every sentence was exponentially more pathetic than the one before, well done, quite an achievement,” wrote one critic. “If watching someone clean in the nude is your idea of a treat, I can see why your wife dropped you,” added another. "Perhaps if you had a little more respect for women you'd still have a wife,” suggested a third. “You seem to be handling your divorce great, mate,” jibed a fourth. “Bro just get a regular cleaner or tell her to start wearing clothes. It would probably be a highlight in her day considering only creepy men hire her,” said a fifth. Meanwhile, others wanted to know how he’d found his… unique cleaning service. “Wondered if this was an actual thing. Since I'm WFH on my own laptop today, just had a quick Google,” one admitted. “There's a company that does this.” Then, throwing some conspiracy theory into the mix, they suggested that the anonymous confessor didn’t hire a naked cleaner but owns the naked cleaning company, and “want[ed] the free advertising.” All we can say is, we’ll stick to hoovering our own carpets, fully clothed, thanks.

Fed up of dating apps? Try working for this Senator
One US Senator has gone viral for seemingly offering a better alternative to dating apps: working for him. Republican Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley shared that he had attended the wedding of his Chief of Staff, Jennifer Heins, over the weekend which also happened to be the 20th marriage to occur from people meeting in his office. After sharing pictures of himself with the happy couple on their wedding day, many joked that they were going to delete dating apps and instead go to work for Grassley. "Who needs hinge when you've got the office of u.s. senator chuck grassley", joked one user: However some said that the shocking number perhaps meant that Grassley, 90, should resign. One user exaggerated that he had been in office "for 156 years", whilst another went for a slightly lower number of "137": Others said it was evidence that he had spent too long in office. Grassley was first elected in 1980. Another said it was evidence for the need of "term limits": Grassley isn't the only Senator to possess matchmaking abilities. Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer is also known for producing couples from his office, with 11 marriages between his staffers occurring during his time in office.

Woman starts debate after charging friends for home cooked dinner
A woman has turned to the internet for advice after being asked to pay to attend her friend's dinner party. Generally, when dinner parties come around, the main focus is the food, drinks and company. Not for one group of pals, though, who were hit with an invoice. Taking to Mumsnet to vent, the woman explained how "they sent us a message after asking for money for each person!" She started her rant by saying she and her partner took a "bottle of good wine" as they would never go empty-handed to someone's dinner party. The woman said they enjoyed a "good meal," but were later hit with a message asking for money. "I thought this was crazy and I would never ask anyone to pay for their food if I invited them over," she continued. She then handed the mic to fellow Mumsnet users to ask whether her feeling "a bit annoyed" was justifiable. "That’s awful behaviour," one person chimed in, adding: "What is wrong with some people?!" "That’s incredibly rude," a second person wrote. "If they couldn’t afford to host then they should have asked everyone over and to bring a plate of food. Or say come over and we will get a takeaway but would everyone mind paying for their own share." They continued: "But to ask for money afterwards is just crazy." Another user suggested she should refuse to pay. "Send them a message back saying absolutely not," they wrote. "If you want to charge then you should say costs upfront so you can make an informed choice. Don't do the polite thing and pay up. This is how the f***ers get away with it."

Women appalled after passenger changes baby’s nappy right next to her on flight
A woman sparked a debate online after venting her frustrations towards a mother who changed her baby's nappy right next to her during a flight. Taking to a Reddit thread, the plane passenger explained how she was travelling on a four-hour flight with a "screaming" baby who kept "getting all worked up at various points". She complained about the toddler, said to be around one or two years old, who was apparently "kicking the back of my seat, sticking his feet up on my armrest, and SH***ING his pants regularly." As if that wasn't enough for the passenger's patience, she then noted that the mother "changed his diaper THREE times, IN the seat". "Didn't bother taking him to the bathroom even though she was one row up from the very back of the plane, right near it. It stunk like hell," she continued. "Ffs, one lady even had a puppy on the plane and he made zero fuss. Perfect little angel. Maybe he had had a sedative, I don't know." The woman then brutally added that parents should "either sedate their damn kids" or not be allowed to bring them on "certain flights" altogether. It didn't take long for fellow Redditors to flood the thread with their own takes, with one siding with the furious passenger. One suggested changing a nappy is a potential "biohazard". They added: "I would 100 per cent would pay extra for childfree flights though parents would scream DISCRIMINATION and then sneak their kids onto the flight somehow I’m sure because 'everybody loves babies why wouldn’t you love my precious angel who shrieks the whole ten-hour flight?!'"
