Rubbish on pub tables

[LazyLohan]

I was out at the pub last night with DH having a quiet drink. We were outside at a small table and there was a large table of hipster types next to us. A few of them, every time they finished with something were just turning around and dumping it on our table. So empty crisp packets, the plastic off cigarette packets, empty cigarette packets, spent match packets. I asked them to please stop putting rubbish on our table and dispose of it elsewhere.

They descended into some sort of very hipsterish rant about our apparent 'inability to harmoniously interact and share space with others in a cooperative tolerant manner'. My husband said 'look mate, she's just asking you not to use our table as a bin' and they responded 'Oh yeah, you're two people who've found the right person, miserable and hate other people, if you can't operate as part of an amicable community you should just stay home brother'.

Is this just me? Is that an acceptable thing to do? They didn't want rubbish on their table, should I be expected to tolerate it on mine because they've put it there.

How many hipsters does it take to change a light bulb? It's a really obscure number. You've probably never heard of it.

You're welcome.

Mrs TP, it used to be that number but that was so last week. It's a different number now that you won't have heard of as it isn't mainstream.

30 plus years ago they would have probably been beaten to a pulp- but i doubt they woukd have even tried a stunt like that in the first place.
How on earth were they being harmonious? Wankers covers it.

Worra thank you thank you! It is dd's birthday next week, too! Perfect timing. MN scores again

Have done a bit of research and discovered WE HAVE A HIPSTER!!!!! In our little dead from the neck up town!

He's actually a sweet bloke who would never in a million years behave as your hipsters did. Maybe he would be different in a city, but here, if he tried it, his mum would hear in less than 5 minutes and he'd have a public clip round the ear!

I am betting they wouldn't have been so into sharing with the community if you'd taken a big schlurp of their pint... :)

You're welcome Jux

Brilliant timing with the birthday!

Someone I knew, I called her a friend because she scared the shit out of me, told a story of sitting in a pub in Peckham about 25 years ago.

At closing time they discovered that a bloke sitting quietly with his back to the window was in fact dead, having been had been hit in the head by a stray bullet from a drive-by shooting earlier.

When asked about why she hadn't left when the shooting started she said it was safer inside. Good point.

Wouldn't fancy those hipsters' chances inside next to her table though.

that story is BRILLIANT!
