I work in a Nice gastropub.

Last night a couple came in for a booked table. The booking notes had asked for sit on the edge of the main section of the restaurant. This isn't uncommon as we have live music on a Friday and it's a good viewing spot. It's a lively pub and busy restaurant.

They were in my section and I welcomed them, got chatting and they told me they we out to celebrate their 4 month anniversary. Champagne was ordered. A pleasant, attractive young couple having a lovely night out.

Then the mood changed a bit; the woman went to the loo and the man played with his phone while she did do.

When she came back he moved his phone to his lap and started to mess with it surreptitiously under the table.

It was so freaking obvious what was going on; her face became animated and she started squirming.

I went back to clear their starter dish and offered more drinks, just doing my job, but they were obviously observing me to see if I noticed.

I went down the civil professional and verging on brusque approach to them fro that point and tried to speed them through the meal to get them off the table quickly.

All the other servers that night were a level students and I wasn't going to expose them to that so I took full ownership of the table.

Grim fuckers Do some people have no shame?

mumofoneAloneandwell · 16/05/2026 14:04

I had to read through twice to get it 😅

She had a vibrator inside her and he was controlling it from his phone?

Eww for you having to serve them 🤢🤢😄😄

I thought they were going to proposition you for a 3some!

Imanautumn · 16/05/2026 14:05

I think I’m getting old but what was obvious?

Dariara · 16/05/2026 14:05

I think I’d have “accidentally” spilt a drink in his lap.

Gosh yes, the fresh ice bucket carried over for the second bottle of champagne would have been a good spill!

Same story as this a couple of weeks ago but from the perspective of a friend on a double date, not a waitress.

That is disgusting. Guess they thought it was “okay” to include you in these BDSM games without your consent????! So they don’t understand consent at all; great sign. So gross, and just incredibly rude. If unconsenting people are part of someone’s “sex game,” that person would probably be good at being BFF with Epstein. Someone who “gets off” on actual lack of consent is usually a serial killer, a rapist, a paedo, or all three. (BDSM is based on SIMULATED lack of consent; it’s why the “rules” say not to involve someone like poor OP).

You should have asked them to leave.

rainbowunicorn22 · 16/05/2026 14:24

some people love to do public things like this for kicks. Not so good for everyone else though

I think that's why they'd asked for such a high visibilty table. We've definitely got quieter areas where they could have enjoyed their little paraphilia without being so on display.

Sorry, I really haven't a clue what they were doing (not joking).

Krevlornswath · 16/05/2026 14:32

Not a dig but could you not just have asked them if there was some sort of issue, as their behaviour had been noted within the restaurant and other diners/staff feel uncomfortable? I know they want people to see them but in practice I imagine it does take some of the fun out of it when you realise you are at risk of being booted out or reported to the authorities for public indecency.

I don't think I'd have been able to help but roll my eyes and give them absolutely nothing to be honest, other than to let them know at the end that they aren't welcome back to dine.

Anyusernamewilldo8963 · 16/05/2026 14:33

I assume she had inserted a sex toy whilst in the bathroom and he was operating it with his phone @PistachioTiramisu

Needtosoundoffandbreathe · 16/05/2026 14:35

Beyond grim. I'd have asked them to leave.

FeliciaFancybottom · 16/05/2026 14:36

I bet he caught a shiny Pokemon and he said he'd trade it with her, that always makes me squirm with excitement.
