Last night was our first big winter freeze. A 20 below windchill. I
bartended and knew I was not going to get many customers. I was
completly okay with that and sat watching TV. Finally a guy comes in
and orders dinner and a beer. He’s nice but tired and not talkative.
Then this nightmare walks in. He asks if we still host an open mic
night for comedians. We don’t. The comedians sucked so we stopped
doing it. He proceeds to ramble on about how he’s an aspiring comedian
and has never performed before. That’s when he pulls out 5 fucking
packed notebooks and then reads every line from them for 4 hours
straight. His jokes made no sense, he wasn’t even funny looking so I
couldn’t pretend to laugh at them. The guy eatting dinner is shooting
me glances of pity and then leaves without finishing eatting.
Eventually I was so annoyed I started to drink so I’d be more relaxed.
4 hours later I was drunk and this fool was still doing his routine.
He finally leaves and I yell ‘AMEN. THANK YOU GOD!’ as he walks back
in cause he forgot his hat. awkward.

Nice one Barbie, you have probably done the rest of us a great service, he may now think about it a bit before the next time he walks into a bar and unloads for 4 hours.
Jerks like him make you *want* to see them on stage for the train wreck effect.
That was painful I bet. I would have laughed anyway I think at the absurdity of it all. But that is easy for me to say.
LMFAO-best belly laugh in days-personally I would have approached the guy after a while and kindly explain your PAYING guest requested the torture cease.
