How To Signal For Help In An Emergency

    If you’re ever in an emergency, here’s how to signal for help. First, use the universal signal for help by raising your hand with your palm facing out. Then, tuck your thumb into your palm and repeatedly fold your fingers over it. This signal was first used as a distress call for domestic violence victims, but today over 40 organizations across North America recognize it as a sign for help. Next, most restaurants and bars have a secret code word you can use to ask for help. The most commonly recognized one is angel shot. Excuse me, can I get an angel shot? Some bars take the code even further. For example, an angel shot means you need help getting to your car. An angel shot dressed means you need an Uber. An angel shot with lime means you need the police. Thank you for your help. However, different places may use different code words, often displayed on the walls in women’s bathrooms. Say kaka if you need help. However, if you’re stuck or need to signal someone at a distance, you can use the pattern of three to get help. Flash your phone light three times or knock three times. It’s often recognized as an SOS by authorities worldwide. Ma’am, you signal for help? Yeah, it’s an emergency. You want to catch it.

    1. Have you seen my long form video? Check it out by clicking the link above this video's title, and let me know what you think

    2. As a tavern owner for 17 years now, I assure you, staff will NEVER ask you openly if you need help. It's much more subtle: "Did you mean to flash your phone 3 times?" "Yes or no, do you understand what an angel shot is?" or "do you need to speak to the manager privately?" These questions only require a silent nod to get you whisked to safety within seconds. If you're not sure whether you need our help, nod anyway! We'll get you somewhere safe first, then we can sort out the details.
      Oh, and by the way, asking for "Angela" is not the best idea. Some taverns/bars have staff members named Angela which just ends up being confusing.

    3. Ppl also ask for angela. I find it odd that signs are only in the woman’s bathroom though. Can a guy not be in danger or harassed? Pretty sure while they are less common there is still a good amount of them

    4. his is equally dumb to have in just any scenario, as well. The original gesture was for women who were seated/standing right next to the man who liked to pile drive their heads through walls, hence the subtlety. It makes no sense to need codewords to get help getting a safe ride home, or to shake off a persistent dude that can't take a hint. Using it in the most mundane of needs for assistance, diminishes the actual importance of these discreet gestures.

      Imagine if a woman is at a club with her abusive boyfriend, and she goes to ask for an angel shot with lime at the bar, because he just whispered that he's going to make her sorry for a man talking to her at this club.

      But she has to wait because KAREN asked for one first, because a guy who just happened to be minding his own but seemed persistently around her, was giving her the ick.

      Teaching people to use these veiled words for any reason that isn't the most immediate bodily harm is such a dangerous diminishing of their value to the abused and trafficked, and that goes for boys and men, too.

    5. If you guys ever see someone with a blue shirt in a bar ask for this drink, my cousin once had to live through that situation

    6. How utterly stupid…who made these up? Bonehead leftists right? Obviously. Need help?…scream HELP!!…no stupid antics…EVERYONE understands those words.
