He Got Fired From the Bar, So He Bought Unskippable Jukebox Credits for One Song—On Repeat.

Getting fired from your job is never fun, and when you can get revenge on your boss, it can help to take away the sting.
What would you do if you got fired for doing your job at a bar after you broke up a fight and kicked a customer out?
That is what happened to the bouncer in this story, so he remoted into the jukebox and bought a bunch of unskippable songs. Then, on the busiest days, he would make the same song play over and over again, driving everyone crazy.
If this is true, it is a pretty funny story of revenge. Read through the full story below and see if you agree.
So I got fired from my job..
I had two jobs, one was at this country ice house in the middle of nowhere outside of my city. This place was pretty small, but was one of the few bars in a certain area so it would get busy. A lot of good ol’ boys and oil field guys.
It is not surprising that the owner wanted to keep customers in the bar.
I worked the door, checked IDs and such, and usually broke up fights or kicked people out. The owner of this place was very “hands on”.
He liked to micromanage everything. Didn’t want me to kick people out unless they were throwing punches, and even then to try and talk to them. Never cut anyone off. Had that “always be selling” attitude.
How is he going to get fired for this?
One night some trouble happens between some regulars and one guy tries to hit another guy with a pool stick. I happened to get hit in the arm but got behind the guy and put him to sleep.
Next day the manager calls me to tell me I’m being let go. Apparently pool stick guy spends a lot of money and me putting him to sleep left him bitter so he called the owner.
That’s fine.
This seems like a bad setup.
Anyways the bar has a nice fancy jukebox. If you have the app you can just pick songs on your credit card and they’ll play. If you hit play next on a song, even if they turn the jukebox off, it’ll play when it starts back up. It’s also unskippable.
With the master remote you could skip a song but they lost that remote so they really can’t do much if someone plays a certain song they don’t like, and even if they unplug it, it’ll play no matter what when they turn it on.
Time for revenge.
Here’s my petty revenge:
The owner does inventory every tuesday night. It also happens to be a busy night because they do pool tournaments and it usually gets packed.
So, here I thought, I could probably just play the same song over and over and there’s nothing they can really do.
This is a fun song to listen to, but only once.
I got twenty bucks in credits and that usually gives you about 18 unskippable songs. Plus more depending if the app gifts you credits.
I picked a remix of Cotton Eye Joe, that comes in at around 7 minutes a pop. Usually when the pool tournament started.
Why wouldn’t they order a new master remote?
Two hours of hearing the same song has killed their business on tuesdays. Even if they unplug it, it’ll still play when they plugged it back up.
I’ve been doing it for two months so far, last I heard they had to buy a new jukebox at a cost 5,000. I’ll probably stop for a month then start again.
This is a pretty funny story of revenge, but the owner must be an idiot if he can’t figure out how to stop this.
Let’s see what the people in the comments have to say about it.
The bar owner should have been able to deal with this easily.

Here is another great idea.

Wow, this would go on forever.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

Now this would be revenge.

The bar owner had plenty of options, but apparently he couldn’t figure it out. Oh well, at least the revenge went through without a problem.
This guy had every reason to be upset with the bar owner. He was just doing his job.
