Guy Fakes Being Stood Up on Valentine’s Day To See If He Can Get a Free Steak

I can’t figure out if this guy is a genius or not yet. Meet Stephen, @baconflavoring on Twitter, who just faked everyone out on Valentine’s Day that he got stood up at Outback.

And of course, he documented the ENTIRE night at Outback Steakhouse sitting by himself for hours, and eventually one couple did take pity on him and pay for his meal. In fact, he stayed at the restaurant until it closed, and took his ENTIRE meal to go, Dr. Pepper and all.

To the poor waitstaff that stayed after well past close for Stephen, thank you. Here’s the tweets:

if I went to Outback Steakhouse by myself tonight and asked for a table for 2, then got progressively sadder as the night went on alone, do you think they’d give me my steak for free?

it’s 9:45. the kitchen closes in 15 minutes. i’m going to wait until my waiter comes by and i’m gonna finish the wine in one swig from the decanter – no glass necessary
