 Arrogant and stupid beyond belief
Topic Originator: GG Riva  
Date:   Mon 8 Aug 17:01

I just got this in my news feed :-

https://www.itv.com/news/utv/2022-08-05/family-leave-restaurant-with-unpaid-200-bill-after-customer-goes-for-wallet

There`s a limit to human intelligence but not to stupidity. 🙁

I don`t understand. So they left under the pretence of getting a wallet and then the guy left his driving licence? So he didn`t want to pay £200 but was happy enough to leave his name and address along with evidence of drink driving?

No wonder you can`t fathom it, Jake. It defies all logic - unless the driving licence was not his own, in which case he`ll have an extra charge to deal with when they are (inevitably) caught.

I may be missing something here, but I can see no reference whatever to a driving licence. All I took from the story is that people skipped off from a restaurant without settling their bill. Contemptible, mean behaviour I agree, but where the stupidity comes in I don’t know. I’d be happy if someone could tell me if I’ve missed something.

"When the waitress brought the bill the customer left his Driving license without paying."

It`s in the embedded tweet.

You are missing something. Check the text from Carlito`s.

GG That`s some time in the morning to be up for a retired gentleman, plumbing problems or up to milk the cows?

Thanks for the replies folks but I still can’t see it. On my phone when I look at the linked article there is definitively no mention at all of a driving licence. I got my wife to check very carefully- but no, she can’t see it either ! It’s all very odd and again, I apologise if I’m being really thick here.

I don’t see anything about a driving licence either - looks like a case of eat and run!

See Carlito`s message posted on Facebook as shown - second paragraph, first sentence.

"When the waitress brought the bill the customer left his Driving license without paying."

It all depends on your browser.

On my iPhone it defaults to the safari browser from .net then in the article you can only see a slight gap between a couple sentences but no Facebook post. When i copy and paste the url onto Google then I can see the Facebook embed in that gap.

So everyone is right as it is and is not there 🤷🏻

Thank you P. We did notice a gap in the text but that was it. Anyhow, you have settled the matter nicely - I knew there had to be an explanation, but I’d never have got there on my own. 👍
