Myself and three others are having a grand time at a restaurant/pub. Things are going well, and we've struck up a conversation with the folks next to us (the tables are long and seat several parties). Our neighbors leave, we continue to eat, drink and be merry. At last the check comes. Looking at it, I see it is WAY higher than it should be. I call the waitress over to show her. She says "Plus your friends' tab."
Me: WHAT?
W: They said you were paying for them.
M: We said no such thing! We don't even know them!
W: (smirking) You were talking to them.
M: (Confused by this logic) But we didn't say we were going to pay their tab. Did it ever occur to you to ask us if that were the case?
W: Well, they said you were paying...
M: Well, we're not. I can't believe you didn't even check.
W: Well, who's paying their tab?
M: Not our problem.
She goes off to fix the check, clearly believing that we are scamming her.
Double suck sighting - the other patrons and the waitress. Never went back.
