We went out to eat tonight and the guy at the table next to us took a call on his speaker phone. You know, because there's no such thing as society anymore.
I started to do the normal thing of silently seething, but then I realized I've got all this white privilege that will spoil if I don't use it
So I turned around and got his attention and asked him to take the call off speaker. And boy if looks could kill I'd be dead right now. But he did it.
Feb 5, 2026 02:08I felt pretty awkward doing this, but on the other hand I am fucking sick to death of keeping my powder dry. Don't talk on a speakerphone in a restaurant.
He was ignoring his date??? To talk with his buddy about a super bowl party??? On a speakerphone at a restaurant???
Man, I paid a babysitter to watch my kids so I could have a peaceful meal with the adults in my house. Turn off your phone and talk to your beautiful date like she's a person.
Sorry I made you look like a chump in front of your girl, homie. I had pho to eat.
I think he was trying to talk hands-free so he could keep eating.
I've posted enough about this, it's out of my system now. Gotta go put my kids to bed.
Don't be shitty in restaurants. If I want a date with my wife I have to solve minor-airport-caliber logistics. You **may not** ruin it for me.
