Next to them the one guy moved the empty chair next to him out so my friend would trip over it when they walked by. Then their whole table was snarky about it like they intentionally tried to knock the chair over. Waitress didn’t know what to do also being the same age so she pretended it didn’t happen. As we ate the guy had his chair super far out to give us no room cause they didn’t like we were stuck next to them (it was the only empty table that was free in the restaurant).
Kept talking shit about liberals and lgbt super loudly, the one guy got pissed when he overheard two of us (non-binary) get referred to as they/them and my other friend made a joke about being gay very silently and he heard cause we had eeves dropping on us all night. He got pissed so he started loudly talking about fucking women and going to strip clubs and prostitution and shit to his wife and the rest of their group very loudly when there was a table with children nearby.
They weren’t even eating anymore, they finished and paid shortly after we arrived they were just sitting there and getting all pissed at our existence. So after the family with the children left and the restaurant was more empty near the end of our meal we noticed the one guy was leaning back with his ear tilted towards us trying to eavesdrop again. My friend got pissed so he decided to give him a taste of his own medicine and jokingly flirt with another guy at our table whispering.
He was disgusted and they immediately all left. I understand there’s better ways to handle the situation but we didnt know exactly what to do at the time. Dude was super aggressive towards us as soon as we walked through the door, we were afraid if we went to the staff about them or confronted them ourselves he’d try to escalate things by yelling or trying to attack one of us. We were just trying to have a good night it was the first time in a whole year the whole friend groups been together irl
The waitress didn’t see it happen the second time, it was really busy which is why we were there so long waiting for food. I think she was the only waitress working that night and we were in the corner of the building that isn’t passed much. He stopped before the waitress came back with she only showed up to take orders, give food, and then with the check later on. My friend tried to ask him to move his chair politely at one point and the dude pretended he couldn’t hear them
