Folks, the man you’re about to meet in this story is…
Well, he’s really something!
And I don’t mean that in a positive way.
In fact, what I’m really trying to say is that this guy sounds like a real bummer.
A grinch.
A buzzkill.
The list goes on and on…
But, before I taint your opinion of him too much, read his story below and see what you think about his situation.
Start now
AITA for wanting to ban customers from my favorite tavern?
“I, m 53, have been a regular patron of a small tavern in Spokane, Washington.
I’ve been a regular for lots of years.
Around a year ago a new couple started coming by. I will call them M and A. Really don’t know why. They’re not regulars. They come in once or twice a week. Sometimes they don’t come in for a few weeks.
This guy sounds like a lot of fun…
They don’t stay long usually. I don’t like them. M works for a large warehouse and A thinks she’s a teacher. A really works at a old daycare down the street. M doesn’t shut up and is socially awkward. A talks about her pretend teaching job.
Dogs are allowed. They bring in their stupid dog sometimes. It’s a small dumb breed. It’s fat and spoiled. When they come in, I cash out and leave. I don’t like them. They started to attend events. They come in and bring snacks to share.
He’s having a real dilemma about this…
They’re not going away. I used to come in when I knew they wouldn’t be there. I can’t do it anymore. Bartender welcomed them in on a day they don’t come in. Bartender said “you’re not Monday people, what’s up?”
M and A stayed. My head was going to explode. M said they were donating food and decided to stop in. They mostly keep to themselves. Sometimes they talk with other customers. They pay their tab. They don’t cause problems.
What is really going on here…?
I still don’t like them.
I’ve started watching for their old truck. When I see it, I finish my beer. They’re too old to be Millennials and to young to be Boomers.
I don’t know what to do. I don’t think I’m the only person who pities them.
AITA if I complain to the owners?
I want to have them banned. I don’t like them. I should have some say.
I’m a loyal regular patron. I don’t think I should have to spend time with annoying people.
AITA?”
