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.
I 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.
