When that survival instinct kicks it, you just can't stop it — even if you haven't paid for your meal yet!

Everyone was apparently both embarrassed and jumpy afterwards:

"Then they said it was CrossFit," said doctor Amyr Kelner who was reportedly at the restaurant at the time, according to local media.

"It was very fast. People were coming slowly, then, when they got close to our table, they started running. I told my friend to call and hold her bag. She got up and, at that moment, someone shouted that it was a robbery. That's when I got up, shouted that it was also a robber and ran away," he told local media source G1.

"After a few minutes, we saw that nothing was happening. Everyone started laughing and went back to the tables as if nothing had happened.

"When I got up, I put my cell phone and wallet in my pocket. There were people who thought I was pulling out a gun. It's something to live in a city as insecure as ours."

Don't feel bad, Dr. Kelner, the cities in the U.S. are just as terrifying as yours!
