Dine & Dash Stories

I dined and dashed 3 times in my life. Caught twice and got away with it once.....

1st time - A buddy and I were walking home from school. We decided to go into a local Mexican restaurant on the way home. We ordered, ate, and then split. We went to my buddy's house and found that his parents left a list of chores for him to work on that day. We decided to blow the list out and then get on with our shenanigans for the day. When his parents got home, we were in the garage working on our dirt bikes. His mom came into the garage and told us she and Mr. McCoy were going to take us out for pizza for doing such a good job on the chores. I called my parents to get permission and then we loaded into the backseat of Mr. McCoy's 1970 Thunderbird. I never will forget the evil, all knowing smirk on Mrs. McCoy's face when Mr. McCoy pulled into the parking lot of the Mexican restaurant. My buddy and I spent the entire evening washing dishes, taking trash out, bussing tables, and servicing the bathrooms until close. To add insult to injury, we didn't get to eat anything the entire time AND we had to walk home at 1:00 AM. Both of our parents dragged our rears out of bed the next morning for school to boot!

2nd time - As an adult, a bunch of us decided to do a 24 hour turn around to Vegas. We lived in SoCal at the time. We gambled, drank, and partied our rears off. On the way home at 4 AM, we stopped at a Denny's. We got the brilliant idea to dine & dash. The next morning while I was "sleeping it off", my wife came into the bedroom and confronted my stupidity. It turned out my friend George, the drunkest of us all, had his wallet come out of his pocket in the booth. The Denny's manager found it, looked George's phone number up in the phone book, called George's house, and ratted us out to George's wife. The manager ran George's credit card for our meals and gave the waitress a healthy tip. George's wife called all of the other wives and snitched on all of us.

3rd time - I don't think the statute of limitations has expired on this one so it'll be a story for another day. ;)
 
Although I don’t have a Tic Tok account I recently read an article on the Tic Tok challenge videos and a big one is the
(Dine and Dash) challenge where groups of people video themselves at restaurants running up a large bill and then leave without paying, how immature and beyond disgusting behavior.
Whether they don’t know or care is usually the server is required to pay that bill.

I was guilty of a few dine and dash episodes as a high school teenager. That stopped once I turned 18, as back then, where I grew up, 18 was the legal age for everything. That meant an adult sentence if caught. And by then I was more interested in being a legal bar patron than a juvenile in a restaurant. But my lying and cheating days began long before that. As pre-teens, my brother and I started skipping out on Sunday school. We would use the money our mother gave us to put in the Sunday school offering as soda and candy money at the little store that was open on Sunday near the church we were supposed to be at Sunday school in. But in my defense, growing up on a farm in a Lutheran community in the Upper Mid-West was just not for me. I know I'll hurt some feelings, but for a young kid, the Lutheran religion is one of the most boring religions I know. At least back in my day.

I also grew up Lutheran in the midwest. And ironically also skipped out of confirmation class after my mom pulled out of the parking lot and went up to the little store and played video games. I also went into the church during a Halloween function at the school, stole some matches from the alter and smoked a joint in the graveyard. I went to the Lutheran school there until I get kicked out in 7th grade. Yes, it was boring.

Never, not even as a youth. The thoughts of getting caught and them NOT locking me up and throwing away the key so I would have to go home and face dad, OMG. I'm sure not perfect, sure got a lot of other sins to account for when the time comes but that isn't one.
