I'm on theirs...

Title: I'm on theirs...

Target Audience: People you regularly dine with

Offensive Threat: medium

Scheme: This is a tactic I have used more over time and has become quite irritating for my dining buddies. Typically when dining with a large group, at some point the waiter will ask, "how will we be doing checks?" Usually, the diners will request that the bills be split up. This is usually a casual moment in the meal, with limited awkwardness... but not for long. When the waiter/waitress comes and asks that question, pick your victim, and tell the waiter, "I'm on theirs" when pointing to that person. This is where the fun part comes in. 1 of 4 things can happen at this point:

1) Nobody notices and you could potentially have a free meal (ultimate annoyance)
2) The person you just pawned your meal off on hears you and corrects you to the waiter (fairly annoying)
3) Someone else hears you and tells the waiter that you are a dirty liar (kind of annoying)
4) You chicken out and tell the waiter that you are just kidding and would like some club soda for your case of the wussies (slightly above not annoying)

No matter what happens however, it is sure to be a good time for all; and by all I mean you.

Why It’s Annoying: Nobody wants to be offered to pay for somebody else's meal. It is rude and inconsiderate. It can also be an embarassing moment for the annoyee, because they have to look like a jerk when they tell the waiter they are not paying for your meal. A safe and easy prank to pull off.
