  It’s a Happy Thursday or maybe a pay-day Friday and the night is young!

  But the bar is jam-packed.

  You happen to come on a day when everyone ditched their computers—the yuppies are in the mood to party! So, you dance and drink ‘til you drop!

  But when the bar is packed and it’s hard to get the bartenders’ attention, what do you do?

  According to an article from Insider, there are ways on how to call the attention of bartenders. You just really have to check if you’re calling them right—or irritating them.

  In the article, bartenders from around the world shared what do customers do that really annoys them!

  1. CLICKING OR SNAPPING YOUR FINGERS AT THEM

  You may not find that rude or what but they just hate them. Well, they’re really right when they said that you can always call them in a very polite manner by putting your hand up. They see that, you just have to wait for your turn.

  See, patience is still a virtue.

  2. YELLING AT THE BARTENDERS

  If we turn tables and you’re in their place and doing the same stuff, accommodating a jam-packed bar, you won’t like when they yell at you. Remember the Golden Rule!

  Come on, dude. We know that you’re partying hard but remember, you’re not the only customer. So, chill. Calm yo’ tits!

  3. WAVING YOUR MONEY OR CREDIT CARDS ON THEIR FACES

  They’re doing this for a living but don’t be so rude to wave your bills or cards on their faces. You don’t want that to happen to you too, don’t you? It’s like you’re buying them.

  4. REACHING OVER THE BAR

  Can we all just be adults here? Stop standing on chairs all the way over the bar to try to reach and grab them. That’s not Justin Beiber there.

  5. USING PET NAMES

  It’s really irritating when you call them “baby” or “bae” or whatever flirty pet name you have on your list because they might just skip on you.

  6. WHISTLING

  We’re not in a basketball game here, dude! You can always say “excuse me.”

  7. STANDING TOO FAR FROM THE COUNTER

  People come and go over the counter, so please, don’t get mad if it took time accommodating you because you also took time standing far from the counter. Come near, please!!!

  8. NOT KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT

  And even if you’re not in a bar, not knowing what you want when it’s already your turn to order is really annoying!!! Believe it or not, these bartenders are on the edge of skipping on you.
