Thread: 3 Deep Breaths....

....and did not in fact rip this guy's ear bud out of his ear and put it in the glass of water in front of him or stomp on it last night at the restaurant, as he sat there annoying the crap out of everyone around him.

At first I thought you were saying Larry David sat next to you at dinner last night and he was annoying you.

Yup, almost as annoying as having someone's rug rats out of control in a restaurant. I feel for ya.

I have poor people skills. I have been told this many times. I don't have the tolerance for other people's behavior that most of you seem to have so I would have asked the person to speak more quietly. If he raised a fuss and/or refused, I would have asked to be relocated away from him. If that ended up not being possible, then would have done the same thing Larry David did in the video.

I would not have been able to try sit there and tolerate it, but then, I have it on good authority that I am an @$$ho/e.

I agree with you. Before I retired the steel mill where I worked from the plant manager down to the new guy hired new me as that grouchy old bastard.

I was in a restaurant once. Two twenty somethings were sat at the table next to us wearing caps. I took the time out of my day to move to their table, sit down and educate them on the subject of good hat etiquette. They duly apologized and removed their caps. I moved back to my own table where I watched the twenty somethings call over the manager, who then came to see me and said they couldn't serve me any more whisky until I'd had something to eat. You just can't help some people.

i have no hesitation in recommending to the guys who insist on watching videos on their phones that they might like to get some headphones, especially if they are doing it on the bus to and from work or in the lunchroom. I can't understand that they cant see that it is also everyone elses relaxation time too.
