There's a sort of jokey tradition in UK pubs that when the bar is busy and you go up to order your drinks you should always shout "I was here first, you wanker!" at the barman / barmaid as they serve each person before you. It's just one of those funny traditions that gets kills every time.

Harmonise this chant with everyone else ordering drinks.

And then when it is your turn make sure to order something really complicated to give the bartender a chance to showcase their skills, they get really bored of just serving beers and pouring wine all day.
