Michael, ITA with the above and it resonates from an experience a couple of weeks ago. My boss and I went out to lunch and were discussing trial strategy when the guy at the next table answered his cell. Talking at decibels that had *everyone* within a dozen tables glaring at him and he, of course, was oblivious, the guy is just going on and on. We can't have a conversation b-c we are more or less held hostage to *his* conversation. My boss got the manager over and complained to him about Loudmouth. The manager tried to talk to Loudmouth, but Loudmouth kept waving him off with the "wait a sec" index finger. Other patrons are furtively watching the unfolding drama when a toddler a few tables away starts to wail. Loudmouth jerks his cell from his head and says loudly, "Would you shut that kid up? I'm trying to ahve a conversation here." At this point my boss, who is pretty mild mannered most of the time (except in court and moving papers), threw his napkin down, stepped over to Loudmouth, yanked the guy's cellphone hand from his ear and said, "Take this and yourself outside and then call your mother and ask her what you did wrong." The manager was still standing there looking nervous and doing a good impression of a guppy, but Loudmouth just glared at my boss and stormed out. Without paying his bill. My boss tried to pay it, but the manager (loudly) wouldn't hear of it. I think the surrounding tables' patrons will be back.
I'd like to make a list of these idiots and let 'em go hunting with
