“I realized I could order things on their tab when another waitress came and asked me if I wanted something”
To learn more about this situation, we reached out to the Reddit user who posted about this petty revenge, Psytrancedude99. He was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and explain what inspired him to share this story now.
“I was listening to a YouTube video about Reddit stories about revenge, and I happened to think of this story. It happened about 10 years ago,” he explained.
We also asked the author how the men reacted when he refused to move and surrender the table. “They reacted in a very annoyed way but kind of left me alone,” the author says. “They were clearly annoyed but couldn’t do anything, as I had ordered my first meal and drink. I actually ended up being friendly and chatting with a few people, so I blended in.”
On that note, we asked the OP at what point he realized that he could get back at the men for stealing his table. “I realized I could order things on their tab when another waitress came and asked me if I wanted something, so I went along with it. In addition, when I got my original bill, only my meal and drink were on there.”

“This group I was sitting with was a regular social group that would often hijack tables, be noisy and problematic”
What did the author think of the reactions to his story? “I enjoyed the replies, although some people took it way too personally, [assuming] that I stole food and didn’t tip,” Psytrancedude99 told Bored Panda. “Being South African, we do have a tipping culture as well, so I did tip on my bill.”
