#BarBeggedUsToStop: How a Petty Revenge Story Turned into a Hilarious Craigslist Fiasco 🍻
##Introduction
Ok, the title is a little “click baity”, but also true (although “begged” might be a little over the top). A few years back my brother and I were visiting our parents in our hometown. While we were there for the week, one of our good friends little sister was turning 21, and invited us to come to celebrate with them. It was the town over, so we drove out there to enjoy the festivities.
###Heading 1: A Night Out Turned Sour
We get to the bar, it’s a small town so small bar, and they push some tables together. Our buddies sister is excited, her first time at a bar, so I go up to the bar top and order a round of shots for everyone. I made sure to leave a generous tip for the bartender for accommodating us.
###Heading 2: The Unwelcome Exit
As we were about to leave, a misunderstanding with my brother trying to use my ID to purchase a non-alcoholic drink led to us being asked to leave the bar. While the bartender’s decision was fair, his aggressive manner of kicking us out was unnecessary.
##The Fateful Decision
While driving back home, my brother was fuming and looking for some sort of revenge. This led to a creative idea involving a Craigslist post offering free items due to a fictional breakup scenario. The twist? The bar’s phone number was used in the post.
###Heading 3: The Craigslist Prank
I quickly crafted a Craigslist post offering free items supposedly left by a cheating boyfriend. The post included the bar’s phone number, inviting interested parties to claim the items. My buddy at the bar updated me on the chaos that ensued.
####Subheading: The Bar’s Reaction
The bar staff began receiving numerous calls and messages from interested individuals inquiring about the free items. This continued for days, leading to frustration and threats from the bar staff towards me.
###Heading 4: The Aftermath
The situation eventually simmered down after a few days, with the Craigslist post being removed. The humorous turn of events provided a sense of petty satisfaction in response to the initial unpleasant encounter at the bar.
##Conclusion
In the end, the prank may have been petty and slightly immature, but it served as a lighthearted response to a less-than-ideal situation at the bar. Sometimes a bit of harmless fun can alleviate tension and provide a humorous anecdote to look back on. And who knows, maybe the bar staff learned a valuable lesson about treating customers with respect, even in challenging situations.
So, next time you feel wronged at a bar, maybe consider a more creative form of retaliation rather than resorting to drastic measures. After all, a little humor can go a long way in turning a negative experience into a memorable story to share with others.
Remember, it’s all about finding the silver lining and enjoying a good laugh along the way! 🤣 #CraigslistPrankGoneWild #PettyRevengeStories #BarAntics #CreativeRetaliation.
That ad was a bunch of bull… redbull.
I can only add that when he said, “drop the can” you should have simply dropped the can, if you weren’t going to take it with you – especially if it was almost full.
Love it! Great revenge. I especially like that you picked a method that meant your family could observe the fallout.
Don’t understand why you had to leave the bar though.
Your ‘retell’ of the story was pretty damned good, my friend!
Ya know, I’m very curious to know if the bartender thought redbull had alcohol in it.
Either way, this is hilarious.
