Bad service at a restaurant or bar is one of life's minor yet soul-crushing annoyances. You know, the kind of service where the orders take forever, drinks are left unfilled, or that awkward moment when the server doesn't even pretend to care that you've been side eyeing them for the past 20 minutes. Most of us try to cut servers some slack—after all, they're probably overworked, underpaid, and likely juggling a table full of Karens who are making their lives miserable. Even if the service is terrible, the guilt often keeps us still tipping 20% out of sheer sympathy.

But not everyone can brush off bad service so easily. One guy found a hilariously petty way to get back at an inattentive server... by serving auditory chaos in the form of the worst song ever on the bar's jukebox. We're talking about a 26-minute sonic nightmare that messes with your head, infuriates the staff, and leaves everyone in the place disturbed. The best part is that he gets his revenge without ever having to say a word. Keep reading for this hilariously clever act of vengeance.

    If I get bad service, I play the world's worst song on the jukebox and leave.

    I go to sports bars quite often to watch games and eat basic bar food. At most of the bars I go to, they have a machine on the wall where you can spend $1 to purchase a song from Apple Music and play it across the entire facility. On the Apple

    Music store, there's a song called "tubular bells part 2". It's possibly the most rage inducing song I've ever heard, if you would even call it a song. I have no clue how it ended up on Apple Music, but I definitely use this fact to my advantage. It's basically just some dude jamming on random

    instruments, it's not terrible, but the song has no real rhythm it's trying to get in to and no specific beat it's trying to build off. It's like the beginning of a Pink Floyd song that just constantly builds up and the second you think he (or she) is gonna get in to rhythm or start jamming out,

    they either change instruments entirely, or restart and continue playing different chords. It quite literally will drive you nuts if you're forced to listen to it. And the best part is it's 26 minutes long. I've been at a few bars where there was no way for the

    bartender or waiter to cancel the song out without flipping the breaker powering the sound system to reboot it. I've stuck around a few times to see everyone suffer. But the last few times I've done it, I've immediately left as to not blow my cover.

    Last month I went to a pretty large chain sports bar that I won't name and got absolutely terrible service. Food was bad, server came to refill our beers once in over an hour and we had to go to the bar a few times to top off. And to make the matter

    worse, we got kicked out of our table after an hour and a half cause apparently our table was reserved for a specific time for a ball game that came on soon. No big deal though, I get it, so we just moved to the bar. I was a bit frustrated as I've been to this

    place many times before and we usually get much better service. I wasn't mad or anything, but I was annoyed enough where I decided I was gonna make everyone's ears bled for a little while before they shut the music system down to play the ball game on the sound system

    across the restaurant. Seeing the visible confusion and frustration across everyone's face across the entire bar is a good way to make an OK night great. To those of you who frequent bars and restaurants with the music box on the wall, you're welcome.

    Mombak 7h ago If you play the original Tubular Bells Part 1 instead, you could possibly induce abject terror into those people who have seen The Exorcist (frequently considered the scariest movie ever made). The song is a main theme of the movie.

    Part 1 is actually longer than Part 2 by a couple of minutes. Tubular Bells is written and performed by Mike Oldfield. He plays every instrument. on the album.
