You and an old friend catch up at a restaurant. When the bill comes, how do you make sure the poor waiter takes your card?

I usually whisper, "I'll flip every table in this joint if you don't take my card, including the one with that child at it", and while it has a 100% success rate, I can't help but feel terrible about it, later. What are some alternatives?

If this is a game you really want to play then just keep raising your voice while insisting. Your voice can always go louder. I learned this from my blind grandmother who absolutely always paid.

But what if two people follow this advice?

In practice, the crazy one that continues to escalate wins. I’ve never seen it happen with two crazies.
