“Unbelievable Twist: Table Thieves Treat Man to Lavish Feast without Knowing They’re Footing the Bill!”
The OP also added that this wasn’t the first time this group of men tried to commandeer another person’s table.
“I found out that this group I was sitting with was a regular social group that would often hijack tables, be noisy and problematic,” he revealed. “Apparently, the manager told me (the next week) that the head of the group was furious that more food and drink was added to his bill. My wife theorizes that they could see what I was doing and went with it.”
But thankfully, this appears to have been the last time that the men caused problems in that bar. “From what I heard, the group never returned to the establishment again,” the OP shared.

It’s important to set boundaries when dealing with entitled individuals
We can only hope that the men in this story learned their lesson and have put an end to their table-stealing ways. But it’s an unfortunate fact that people sometimes feel entitled to things that aren’t theirs at all. Whether it’s a colleague stealing snacks from your desk or a family member stealing your birthday present because “what’s yours is theirs,” dealing with entitled individuals can be exhausting.
According to Verywell Mind, entitled behavior can be caused by a variety of factors, including how someone was raised, how much special treatment they got as a child, how often their parents solved problems for them, societal and cultural factors, how spoiled they were growing up and how often they were denied things as a child.
