There is basic sport bar edict that everyone knows. You don't fight inside, you don't order a complicated fancy cocktail, and you don't steal someone else's table. The bar is very low, so it's not too hard to follow. However, there are many Kyles and Karens who think these basic forms of manners don't apply to them. Is that a surprise? No. Is it still always annoy? Absolutely. So that is why when entitled people get put into their place it is extra satisfying. Especially, in the form of sneaky revenge. There was an entire table of Karens and Kyles at this sports bar that learned right then and there to learn some manners. Basically, a man was there by himself enjoying a burger, beer, and the game. A dude comes in and asks if he can sit at his table while he waits for his. He says sure. However, this dude instead invited all 10 of his friends and started to act like the table was his. So how did that guy make them pay the price? By literally making them pay his bill. See how below!

    "steal" my table? Enjoy paying my bill! So many years ago I was at a popular bar in my home city during a Saturday afternoon. I was sitting at a bench table on my own enjoying my beer and burger alone and enjoying myself. Now it gets fairly busy and sharing tables isn't uncommon. A guy and his two mates ask to sit with me while they wait for another table.

    As its a sports bar I was chilled. He and his mates sat down and I thought that was that. Next thing I know the other table leaves and instead of the three of them moving to that table, 10 of his friends arrive. He askes me to leave. I said no as I was there to watch an International rugby game. So now I'm squashed in at this table ( lets call this table 21 going forward)

    So I didnt move and the guys kept on getting more dr nk and ordered food etc. I walked to the bar to get myself a drink and the barman says which table? I said table 21. Every time a waiter ordered for them I would grab the waiter and say did you get the xyz drink or the abc steak? which they added on thinking it was for the table but actually for me.

    The game and festivities went on for 7 hours. I had ordered 7 drinks. 3 starters and had an extra main. For the sake of comparison I only paid $20. The stuff I ordered was $50 on top of what I paid. Eventually I go get my bill my tables bill ( original table) and saw the my first drink and burger on it. I pay it and go home. TLDR: Steal my table, I will make you pay for it.

    Muffassa 8h ago · . I had a similar incident once, they didnt pay my bill but my bill was comped by the restaraunt because of them. 2 of us arrived at a busy bar and were sat at 4 top. We ordered drinks and were waiting to order our food, it was very busy so we understood the delay. Another couple with a ~5 year come in and they are seated at a 2 top near us.

    While we were waiting to order, we got up to go have a smoke. I cant remember if we took our drinks, but our belongings were definitely still at the table. We come back from our smoke and the couple with their kid, is now sitting at our table.

    We politely tell them that we hadn't left, just went for a smoke and wanted our table back. They said no, the server had seated them there and they werent leaving. I spoke the the server, who tried to get them to go back to their original table, no luck. The hostess went to talk to them, no luck, aminated conversation and voices were raised. They were not moving no matter what.

    The hostess comes back and says they will seat us at the next available table which only took a few minutes. We could see them from our table and the wife looked absolutely miserable the entire time. Arms flailing around, complaining that the food was taking too long. We ordered our meal and waited patiently. Their food finally arrived and she immediately asked for To Go boxes.

    The hostess came back to us and apologized for the mix up and comped our entire meal. We tipped well for them having to deal with that couple and probably not leaving a tip either. Before they left, the wife got up and headed for the bathroom. My gf at the time went also. She made sure to thank the lady for our free meal they were responsible for. She came out of the bathroom and they grabbed all of their stuff and bee lined it out of there.

    I understand that they were cramped at their 2 top with 3 people, but you agreed to sit there. And then to take over someone else's table and not move is just crazy.

    ChallengeHonest • 5h ago Your result was much better than my experience. I went to my local Irish bar. Sat at the bar as I was alone, waiting for a car repair. Slowly, the 'regulars' creep in. It was fine with the first one or two, but, then more came and purposely crowded me. I don't mine a snug situation, but I had a hard time eating my meal as they were so close. They weren't eating, just ignoring me and drinking. So Ir de. This is a small town and they were acting small.
