Bullied at a bar by guys I went to high school with

Date: 3/22/2022

I went out to a bar to distract myself from having anxiety about not trusting my boyfriend. It’s a really popular bar but I got there early so there was an open table. It was a square table that could sit about 4 people, but I sat alone. The bar started to fill up. I noticed there was a group of guys on the other side of the room and I recognized them as the “popular” guys from high school. We graduated almost 7 years ago. I decided to get up from my table to order something from the bar. I left a couple things so people would know someone is sitting there. At the bar I ordered two shots of vodka. I wanted Coke as a chaser but the bartender told me to use the vending machine to get one instead. I made my way back to the table first to put down the shots because I wouldn’t be able to carry everything. When I got back I found those guys I went to high school with had taken over my table. I storm over to them and put my shots on the table, and try to explain to them that I was sitting there. They’re all laughing at me. Someone says that it was “Cody’s idea.” Cody had been engrossed in his phone and finally looked up, but when he did he moved his arm and accidentally knocked over my two shots. They were pushed so hard that both shot glasses ended up under the table. I became furious and demanded to get paid back for those shots. “What shots?” they asked, laughing. “What do you mean?” This made me angrier and I pointed under the table at the final resting places of the two shot glasses. The guys looked under the table and pretended not to see anything. “There’s nothing under here,” they said while laughing.
