Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : This happened a couple days ago. Also on mobile so excuse the formatting mess. So me and a couple friends of mine are looking to get into a pro wrestling school around where I am, but we come to the realization after sitting in on a class and talking to the trainers that our cardio is “worse than Hogan’s in that sex tape”, according to one of the trainers. So lately we’ve all been making a point to hit the gym and go to the Y and get some swimming and basketball games in. It’s been helping a lot, and on this particular day, it made us really hungry after working out all day (and I do mean all day, about 10 to 12 hours). So we decide we’ve earned a trip to the buffet. 


Me personally, I don’t normally eat that much, even after going at it all day. The two guys I’m going with though can put away food like it’s nobody’s business. I guess on this day we were prepared to test how far that “all you can eat” motto goes. 


We get to the restaurant and the place is packed. It’s the weekend and I guess everyone else is hungry too. While we wait for a table to clear up, another guy approached us and asked us if we were interested in splitting up a table if one opened up. Now usually I wouldn’t mind and I don’t think my friends would either, but two things stopped us from splitting with this guy. One, the dude straight reeks. We had all toweled off at the gym and we weren’t that pleasant ourselves but this guy was just plain offensive. Also, the wrestling school we’re all trying to get in to isn’t really popular in the area since they turn down people all the time and most everyone in the area thinks that wrestling is for hillbillies anyway, which is bad for three guys that want to be wrestlers talking to a stranger. So I politely tell the guy we were meeting up with someone and couldn’t split a table. 


After about 15 minutes of waiting we get seated and storm the food area. We sit down and enjoy the food and get to talking about some of the stuff going on at work and what happened on SmackDown and all that good stuff. About 30 or 35 minutes pass and this cycle continues. Until a manager of the restaurant comes up to the table and asks us to leave. Naturally, my friend asks why and the manager tells us that we need to leave because we’ve all been to the buffet 19 times between the three of us and we were rude to the guy in the lobby and caused even more of a crunch for them. I might have been to the buffet three times myself, but even with the other two guys I was with, 19 times sounded really excessive. And, I know sometimes people lie on the internet, but I was actually being polite when I told the guy in the lobby we wouldn’t sit with him. 


I tell the manager this and my friends throw in some protests of their own, but the manager stands firm and says we needed to leave and we weren’t welcome back as long as he was working there. At this point, I had had enough of this guy making stuff up and getting onto us for it, so I just tell him we weren’t leaving unless he gets the police to take us out. I tell the guy that it is “all you can eat” after all so it doesn’t matter how much food we’ve had and if he didn’t like it, he was just going to have to deal with it. 


The manager says he’ll call the police and he’d be back. We figure out that even though the manager is just being a certified prick, we’re not really hungry after the encounter and really don’t need the trouble since the gym in the county jail probably isn’t up to par, and we leave. 


So AITA for refusing to leave or by telling the guy in the lobby we wouldn’t sit with him? I feel justified by everything but a second opinion couldn’t hurt.
