A woman has revealed her husband walked off, leaving her to deal with the fallout, after she accidentally ordered a cocktail that had a price tag of over two thousand dollars.

Lynsey took to social media to reveal she, her husband and her sister had been staying at a five-star hotel in London for New Year’s Eve.

She and her husband went down to the hotel bar for a drink, and she ordered a cocktail that featured Cristal champagne, with sprinkled gold leaf and a 30-year-old whisky.

The cocktail had a price tag of £1890, which is roughly $2,356 once converted.

She was then handed the bill, and was left speechless after initially believing the cocktail had cost $23.56.

I would tell her that her divorce settlement is $900,000 , and then give her 9,000.

Yeah, sure, it was an accident.

I don’t know which is worse, her ordering it, or that it was on the menu for that price?

No man needs a wife that runs up that kind of bar tab.

No man needs a wife that posts on social media what kind of ditz she is.

No man needs a modern liberal wife.

This story has a BS smell to it. That said, if a bartender does not warn a patron about something like this beforehand, the patron should not be held responsible.

My wife’s too smart for that.

She would’ve just put it on the room tab...and I would’ve been left dealing with it.

Gold digger. I bet she was gutting the husband like a fish.
Finally he had enough of her extravagance.

Ridiculous people to begin with. Staying at a five star hotel on New Year’s eve, a 2000 dollar drink probably won’t break them.

Interesting headline, but sanity prevails in the details of the article.
But yes I clicked on the bait.

I doubt this was a mistake. Women tend to go apeshit if they don’t have to pay.

Crazy eyes and a woman who posts on social media every aspect of their personal lives.

RUN FOR THE HILLS!

If someone wants to cry to their neighbor about their social stupidities, they need face book, not FR. If it stopped moving wasted funds to the Ukraine it would be for this site.

Yeah It’s probably BS. I cannot imagine no fair warning given to a $2,300 drink.
