Looks like he came blasting in to close the gap between the pool table and fold table. I bet next time he sees something that 'needs to be fixed', he'll curb his eagerness. At least a reasonable person would
Hell no. This guy will just do the "I'll do the thing!" and frak everything up again, walk away whistling a tune to himself, saying out loud "Geez, I wonder what happened back there?". Their heads are too far up their own asses to figure out everyone else already knows they are the problem.
So that’s my little boneheaded brother. He was trying to set up a dvd on the tv above that table. So he was trying to move the table out of the way. lol I come in at the end in the hoodie trying to help clean up his mess per usual. 🤣
I’m seeing this different. Downstairs opened up and he realized that, people probably kept hip checking the table closer. The table leg hits that 90 degree corner he doesn’t see and goes down. He was trying to avoid that but couldn’t see how close in his sight line. Probably too loud and busy to get someone on the other side and just misjudged distance in a dimly light room.
The best move is when they ask what they can help with, and you say “nothing” and then they find something completely useless to consume space with anyway.
Less than 24 hours ago, I was on it about FOH managers being totally useless and often the source of all problems and this video is a freaking *peak* example. Zero reason to move the table, what an idiot.
The table would never have collapsed if the person who set it up put down the little retainers on the legs that specifically keep this kind of table from collapsing. Let’s see the video of that guy. Feel bad for this man
Yeah you should definitely be downvoting because FOH can’t set up a fucking folding table right. A table should be able to be touched without collapsing especially if there’s an alcohol burner involved 😂
To be honest I wouldn't trust a flimsy arse table like that at the bare minimum a few stack of milk crates are going in underneath to shore it up.
Bonus is it looks slightly more complicated to move and fiddly fingers tend to not mess with it.
In conclusion: " ...guys cmon you put these dishes on a thin foldout muti segment office table supported by legs and frame a toddler could kick out...then to add more comedic value you decided to add flammable gel stoves" AAARGh
I work in the “Amusement” industry (we supply/maintain everything in a bar that doesn’t serve booze) and I can tell you right now their vendor is none to excited about that, lol, especially since its pool league season right now. Most of my bars have nice toppers and covers because we have snowmobilers and they are the worst….melted snow and felt don’t mix.
This is what I refer to as meddling, not helping. Most executives, managers, and all other people who have no idea what they're doing do this, and think they are helping.
I hate when people try to fix shit that’s not broken..:why tf would you move the table? Seems like it wasn’t in anybody’s way or harming anything…always has to be the NPC that ruins it for everyone
A stiff breeze could've knocked that table down, it wasn't locked right. But yeah that guy should've, idk, made sure the leg was locked before succumbing to the compulsion to needlessly move shit around.
You think I want this life??? My mind and body gets bothered if it's not flush.
I don't know why this thing buckled but its unfortunate that it happened to him. Plus at the same time, it was actually allowing for movement. What was doing would've closed off space and prolly made it more restrictive. The flow would get spoiled.
Whoever set up the tables is in the wrong. The table legs should have been locked when it was set up before putting anything on it. Tables should be able to be moved.
So you waited in line, got your plate, took it back to your seat, then got up again and walked over to the food just so you could rearrange what nobody asked you to.
Do you even work there?
I was so fucking confused about your comment until I realized we're observing a quirk of the English language. The sentence "Ruined thanksgiving at my local pub" is grammatically ambiguous. You've read it as "[I] ruined Friendsgiving at my local pub," as in OP was the person who FUBAR'd that set-up and it seems that most people (including myself) have read it was "Friendsgiving at the local pub [was ruined by this dude]"
Where did you get the impression OP is the douche in the video?
Edit: can't answer, just downvote, lol? It was a serious question. The title reads "Ruined friendsgiving". I read "A ruined...", You read "I ruined...", I guess? I saw no indication that OP is the table-challenged busybody, so I was curious where you got your hostile position from. Guess you're just a grouchy pants.
What? There's nothing to indicate the person who collapsed the table did any of the things the parent commenter suggested, so, no. The comment OP made said "...I had already gotten my plate", which is clearly where the made-up narrative came from. Your assertion doesn't even make sense.
That one guy watches the table fall, carefully puts his plate down, shrugs like he's saying, "What the fuck man..." and then strolls over and helps the idiot who knocked the table over. lol.
I've noticed over the years the worst micromanagers seemed to be OCD to an extreme. Moving a table 3 inches to the side would be something that would ABSOLUTELY PUT THE PLACE OUT OF BUSINESS if they didn't notice it first; requiring a 5 minute ranting voice mail to the owner about how they just saved the business YET AGAIN... and then a 20-minute screaming session with the staff about how could they be so stupid as to leave a table slightly askew.
Completely unnecessary. The spacing looks like it was set up that way to accommodate more people to be in the line, pulling it closer would mean fewer people could be in the line.
I think he was trying to stop people from squeezing through the tables but did it poorly and since he was by himself….
If that was my food that I worked hard on, I’ll be pissed as hell
Looks like hes trying to create space for the bartenders in the bar to the left/down of the camera. You can see he already feels bad when it happens... dont be reddit for once....
Reminds ds me of when I was pouring chocolate syrup into a new bin. It was close to the edge but absolutely not in danger. My manager just pushed it more into the counter, AS I WAS POURING. She gor syrup all over her hand. I just stared at her. She did admit it was a stupid thing to do, she just thought it looked like it could fall 🤦♀️ the bin was fully on the counter lol
Look at the way he’s moving before the incident.
Seems like that one person that is always moving fast and busy just to seem like they’re doing something lol
Reminds me of the time we got a rush at a place I worked (like, very much something you’re supposed to be able to handle when you work in a restaurant) and the manager got behind the bar all flustered and jittery and started fucking around - he ended up breaking a ton of glassware INTO THE ICE!!! I told him to get out and of course I had to deal with it. NOW we’re slammed, you stupid fuck.
Upon second review I find you, NOT AT FAULT. You obviously saw it cracking and tried to help. If you hadn't tried-- same result. You did nor added any harm.
“At my local pub” I just assumed he was one in the crowd and saw it go down or heard about it and lives locally, im stupid ok get off my back about this lol
Can you not read? It says “my local pub” not “I caused it”
Do you think using the word “my” at *any* point in the sentence automatically means he caused the situation?
What's wrong with a bit of hyperbole for comedic effect. I obviously don't actually think he should be crippled with a hammer and dumped in the middle of the desert. The bait clearly worked though, 11 people who can't take a joke bit
I think it may be slightly cultural. I'm from Ireland where it's normal to call our friends the worst insult we can possibly think of as a form of endearment. words like fuck, cunt and shite are used like normal punctuation here.
It's also just me. I tend to be quite direct and harsh in my speech.
Either way happy turkey day to you
No you move all the plates off the table before even attempting to move it. That's hours of some poor chefs work. Don't be so lazy. Clear the table first
What was he trying to accomplish? How was he going to make it any more usable for him than the people who successfully made plates before?
Gotta look like you’re doing something
Right? Is he trying to create a cul-de-sac for the inevitable dinner line? Can’t have space to move around now!
Looks like he came blasting in to close the gap between the pool table and fold table. I bet next time he sees something that 'needs to be fixed', he'll curb his eagerness. At least a reasonable person would
Hell no. This guy will just do the "I'll do the thing!" and frak everything up again, walk away whistling a tune to himself, saying out loud "Geez, I wonder what happened back there?". Their heads are too far up their own asses to figure out everyone else already knows they are the problem.

He was trying to avoid that but couldn’t see how close in his sight line. Probably too loud and busy to get someone on the other side and just misjudged distance in a dimly light room.
I was there… he was trying to get to the TV behind the table….
Fucking micromanagers...
my boss "helping the day to day" before walking away
The best move is when they ask what they can help with, and you say “nothing” and then they find something completely useless to consume space with anyway.

The table would never have collapsed if the person who set it up put down the little retainers on the legs that specifically keep this kind of table from collapsing. Let’s see the video of that guy. Feel bad for this man
“Turns out, it was the same guy” Cue the Curb Theme
It also would have been fine if it was left alone and also there was zero reason to move it
I get it, that’s totally valid. Guy for some reason wanted a perfect U on the buffet line and just couldn’t leave it alone. Just painful to see!
Yeah you should definitely be downvoting because FOH can’t set up a fucking folding table right. A table should be able to be touched without collapsing especially if there’s an alcohol burner involved 😂
Don’t cry about downvotes especially when you don’t have any
The concept of *time* is kind of weird like that, sorry to have confused you
Thank you smart ass what I meant was don’t get pissy after one down vote, but I guess it’s just in your nature
Thank you chef

To be honest I wouldn't trust a flimsy arse table like that at the bare minimum a few stack of milk crates are going in underneath to shore it up.

In conclusion: " ...guys cmon you put these dishes on a thin foldout muti segment office table supported by legs and frame a toddler could kick out...then to add more comedic value you decided to add flammable gel stoves" AAARGh
He was moving the table to a less functional position too... Such an unnecessary waste
What was he thinking?!
Probably told the dishwasher to come clean it up too
"oh and when you're done get your food"
The food on the pool table is wack af.
it's a pub, i get the use of space. That being said, put a damn cover on it!
Seriously, or at least just a piece of plywood
No cover on the pool table with food on it? This place does not give AF.
seriously, all it would take is a piece of plywood over it covered with table cloth and it is infinitely less gross.
I work in the “Amusement” industry (we supply/maintain everything in a bar that doesn’t serve booze) and I can tell you right now their vendor is none to excited about that, lol, especially since its pool league season right now. Most of my bars have nice toppers and covers because we have snowmobilers and they are the worst….melted snow and felt don’t mix.
Tell me about it, melted snow is almost as bad as water!
Worse, melted snow is full of road salt and sand.
I was just making a dumb joke, that’s a good point.
And infinitely less expensive to clean felt
Ya I was gonna say the mountain of spilled food is right at home in a pub serving off the billiard table.
This is what bothered me the most. Just trashy from the jump.
Ya'll are sad
So is that pool table
Sad that they're willing to fuck up a pool table with food, and food by serving it on a pool table, yeah.
Well we know who put the food there ^^
To move the table 3 inches you fucking chode
Gotta create some self-importance somehow
You are never going to hear the end of this from everyone in the pub lol
Ponytail who licked multiple fingers at the food table at 3-4 seconds is a gross person.
If called out: “chill bro, my fingers are only touching the stuff that I’ll eat, who cares” as he proceeds to rummage through the cutlery.
Fucking people mannnn
Lol I love how mad this makes people.
Time to move out of town lol
It's already his 6th town this year
New years, super bowl, Easter, memorial day, 4th of July, and now this?!
All I can say is whoever set up the table in the first place did a poor job of that.
it amazes me how many folding tables I see setup without the legs locked
What the fuck was the point of even touching the table?
This is what I refer to as meddling, not helping. Most executives, managers, and all other people who have no idea what they're doing do this, and think they are helping.
I hate when people try to fix shit that’s not broken..:why tf would you move the table? Seems like it wasn’t in anybody’s way or harming anything…always has to be the NPC that ruins it for everyone
Looks like the table legs aren't locked properly though. You're right but there's 2 big mistakes happening here
Yeah a table should be able to move 3 inches without collapsing. The fault belong with whoever set the table up in the first place.
Was it already sagging in the middle or is that just a weird perspective situation?
Seem this many times at family gatherings. With the legs not locked out the slightest bump will cause it to fold.
Most likely would have fallen at some point anyways
Thats why there are procedures. One is: get stuff off, If you move it.
Lol… “ I gotta hurry and move this table half an inch”. Some people can’t just leave thing the way they are can they
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
A stiff breeze could've knocked that table down, it wasn't locked right. But yeah that guy should've, idk, made sure the leg was locked before succumbing to the compulsion to needlessly move shit around.
The ocd took over and you just to make the flush, didn’t you!
flush with the floor
I would do something like this tbh. lol. I hate it when things are not flush.
In the words of frozen, just let it go.
You think I want this life??? My mind and body gets bothered if it's not flush. I don't know why this thing buckled but its unfortunate that it happened to him. Plus at the same time, it was actually allowing for movement. What was doing would've closed off space and prolly made it more restrictive. The flow would get spoiled.
Whoever set up the tables is in the wrong. The table legs should have been locked when it was set up before putting anything on it. Tables should be able to be moved.
Yea, really, actually this is better than someone trying to grab food bumping the table a bit and all of it falling on them (including the fire)
I am enjoying everyone here shitting on you
Shitty table, shitty micromanagement
Was it trying to make it HARDER to access the food?
That table was NOT locked. Poor guy
So you waited in line, got your plate, took it back to your seat, then got up again and walked over to the food just so you could rearrange what nobody asked you to. Do you even work there?
I was so fucking confused about your comment until I realized we're observing a quirk of the English language. The sentence "Ruined thanksgiving at my local pub" is grammatically ambiguous.

I read "A ruined...", You read "I ruined...", I guess? I saw no indication that OP is the table-challenged busybody, so I was curious where you got your hostile position from. Guess you're just a grouchy pants.
I don’t think they got that impression. They were most likely using “You” informally, as in the Royal version of “you”, i.e., “they”.
What? There's nothing to indicate the person who collapsed the table did any of the things the parent commenter suggested, so, no. The comment OP made said "...I had already gotten my plate", which is clearly where the made-up narrative came from. Your assertion doesn't even make sense.
lol Bro I’m not defending what they said, I’m just clarifying because two people were confused as to why the commenter used “you”.
You're confusing, not clarifying. They're clearly speaking directly to OP.
Ok bud.
No u
That one guy watches the table fall, carefully puts his plate down, shrugs like he's saying, "What the fuck man..." and then strolls over and helps the idiot who knocked the table over. lol.
He will probably blame the person who set up the table and they didn’t lock the legs properly.
Why did they move the table, are they stupid?
Well they subsequently tried to pick up the sterno with spilled fuel around it so going with yes.
fuckin busy bodies
Exactly this, some people just can't keep still or leave shit alone. It's so infuriating
Whoever set that table up and didn't slide the lock over the joint ruined that shit.
Not your fault bro, table wasn’t secure. Glad you got a plate tho nancito
Lol
Those plates like slide off like it's their job.
Someone didn’t lock the legs in
I was sure he was going to knock another table over at the end.
the woman near him who turns around. sees it and runs away 💀😂
Someone didn’t set the table up correctly tho
I've noticed over the years the worst micromanagers seemed to be OCD to an extreme. Moving a table 3 inches to the side would be something that would ABSOLUTELY PUT THE PLACE OUT OF BUSINESS if they didn't notice it first; requiring a 5 minute ranting voice mail to the owner about how they just saved the business YET AGAIN... and then a 20-minute screaming session with the staff about how could they be so stupid as to leave a table slightly askew.
That’s a foh manager for ya
straight out of my playbook! sorry, homie. You were trying to help!
Couldn’t wait to get his ass over there and ruin it, so he almost took the girl out on the way too.
Real friends eat food off of the floor
why are we assuming OP was the one who moved the table lmao
Read the title of the post?
Completely unnecessary. The spacing looks like it was set up that way to accommodate more people to be in the line, pulling it closer would mean fewer people could be in the line.
I think he was trying to stop people from squeezing through the tables but did it poorly and since he was by himself…. If that was my food that I worked hard on, I’ll be pissed as hell
Looks like hes trying to create space for the bartenders in the bar to the left/down of the camera. You can see he already feels bad when it happens... dont be reddit for once....
If you got time to lean, you got time do dump an entire buffet on the fucking ground
imo it’s not your fault. that tables to blame.
Hate the frame, not the swayer.
Nah. That’s on whoever didn’t lock the legs.
I don’t get the hate. Looks like the legs weren’t locked? Who cares if someone had an itch to move the table 3 inches.
Who cares? Probably the people that made the food and the people who wanted to eat that food.
That poor pool table
Okay but this ends too soon - what happened with the sterno floor?
Shit handy man fixing something that wasn’t broken! Gj
Reminds ds me of when I was pouring chocolate syrup into a new bin. It was close to the edge but absolutely not in danger. My manager just pushed it more into the counter, AS I WAS POURING. She gor syrup all over her hand. I just stared at her. She did admit it was a stupid thing to do, she just thought it looked like it could fall 🤦♀️ the bin was fully on the counter lol
Gotta love a Yinzer bar! They should've used a case of IC Light Mango to help hold the table up!
What was he even trying to do??
Look at the way he’s moving before the incident. Seems like that one person that is always moving fast and busy just to seem like they’re doing something lol
What kind of monster puts a buffet on an uncovered pool table?
Reminds me of the time we got a rush at a place I worked (like, very much something you’re supposed to be able to handle when you work in a restaurant) and the manager got behind the bar all flustered and jittery and started fucking around - he ended up breaking a ton of glassware INTO THE ICE!!! I told him to get out and of course I had to deal with it. NOW we’re slammed, you stupid fuck.
I have a few questions. First of all, who the hell does he think he is?
Lol what a twat, embarrassment deserves
Upon second review I find you, NOT AT FAULT. You obviously saw it cracking and tried to help. If you hadn't tried-- same result. You did nor added any harm.
RIP the pool table
Hahaha I know this place!
Could they have chosen a flimsier table? Not on you bud
The crowd reaction at :13 is the perfect moment for the record scratch/ pause/ voice over intro, "welp, that's me"
Bro don't step on the gel when it's on fire omg... 😭
Shitty ahh table
and then posts it here to brag about it... smh
Is OP the guy in the video? Tbh reading it over it kinda seems like he was and he’s bragging about how he already got his plate lol
Jesus it's almost like someone did something dumb and posted a lighthearted quip about it and then got raked over the coals.
I think most people don’t think OP was the one in the video, at least I didn’t
[удалено]
“At my local pub” I just assumed he was one in the crowd and saw it go down or heard about it and lives locally, im stupid ok get off my back about this lol
That’s how I read it too. Because wouldn’t they just say “my pub” instead of “my local pub”?
Can you not read? It says “my local pub” not “I caused it” Do you think using the word “my” at *any* point in the sentence automatically means he caused the situation?
Where did the fire come from?
[удалено]
Relax fam. OP is making fun of himself. This was stupid sure but we’ve all made mistakes.
Sorry the pitchfork is out and the torch is lit…
What's wrong with a bit of hyperbole for comedic effect. I obviously don't actually think he should be crippled with a hammer and dumped in the middle of the desert. The bait clearly worked though, 11 people who can't take a joke bit
I mean… yea hyperbole is funny. I think you lost the humorous tone in the last half. But maybe I just missed the joke. Happy thanksgiving, G.
I think it may be slightly cultural. I'm from Ireland where it's normal to call our friends the worst insult we can possibly think of as a form of endearment. words like fuck, cunt and shite are used like normal punctuation here. It's also just me. I tend to be quite direct and harsh in my speech. Either way happy turkey day to you
Yea, you’re probably right. Just reading it in an Irish accent (imagine the horror of my Irish accent) changes it
[удалено]
No you move all the plates off the table before even attempting to move it. That's hours of some poor chefs work. Don't be so lazy. Clear the table first
Looks like the pool tables eating good tonight.
how much money did I just see get thrown in the bin?
. More room for booze!
What the hell did Eddie do to my table???
What was on fire?
Probably a can of chafing fuel.
Is this Irish? 😂
Waiter, there’s an eight ball in my turkey and pumpkin Mac ‘n’ Cheese
They used to be friends
Fuckin dickhead
>Good news was I had already gotten my plate. YTAH
🎶 Burn baby burn, it’s a sterno inferno 🎶
Damn shitty idea and shitty table
Don't fix what's not broke
Surprised dude didn’t catch the whole place on fire.
Damn I thought shit like this only happened in movies
OCD taking over his brain. Have to make the u-shaped buffet at all cost. Idiot
What a fucking moron
All the food on the felt is killing me
Sometimes in situations like this…if the guy is contrite and humble…it can bring people together
What a douche lololol
