I remeber sitting outside a pub once, having a couple with some mates. A bloke sitting on his own at the next table gets up and **** off, leaving an untouched pint there. After about 15-20 mins, bloke hazzunt come back. So, one of me mates just takes it and starts drinking it. The bloke’s not coming back now, surely.
At least 10 minutes later, the bloke comes back! Asks us if we saw what happened to the pint he’d left there. Me mate who’d snaffled it say’s ‘oh, I think one of the staff mustuv cleared it away’, whilst holding the very same glass in his hand. Bloke strides off to have a moan at the staff. We saw him through the window, having a heated argument with the bar staff. He comes back out. Stands there about 5 yards away, glaring at us. Me mate raises the now nearly empty glass, and gives him a nod. The rest of us are by now struggling to keep it together. The bloke snorts, turns on his heel, and storms off. We collapse into fits of laughter.
One of the girls comes out, and me mate confesses he took the pint, as he thought ittud been abandoned. She just laughs, and says ‘oh, don’t worry about it, the bloke’s an a-hole’.
Now, me mate woon’t ever have tooken it, had he genuinely thought the bloke was coming back. After 15-20 mins, you’d assume he’d have buggered off, right? He took his top and bag with him, so we’d assumed he weren’t coming back.
Question is, where TF had he been for nearly half an hour? In the bogs, trying to squeeze/knock one out? You don’t leave a brand new pint and **** off for that length of time, and expect it to be there when you come back, surely?
Strange behaviour, that. Always puzzled us.
Someone had ordered a burger and chips once, paid for it, then left. Girl came out, asked who’d ordered it, no response. So, I said, jokingly, ‘I’ll have it, if no-one wants it’. ‘Here you go then’, she said, and put it down in front of me! Result!
