It's a big world people. Better learn to live and let live. |
I have seen you on other threads acting like you are the know it all of all topics. You are a bitch. Get over yourself. |
I believe PP said that they were out at 4pm and the restaurant was empty. The other patron probably works all week and rarely sees her child. Who cares if she made a call while eating out with her child? This is like when I'm out and have to hear noisy, foul-mouthed teens. Or annoying business men. Yenta-like women prattling on about bullshit NO ONE wants to listen to. Assholes watching football games on their smart phones cheering loudly when their team scores. You are complaining about a DOCTOR out in an EMPTY restaurant at 4pm with her CHILD. You moved. Your complaint is not only selfish but the fact that you took the time to come here to complain shows that hours later you're STILL thinking about this? Really? Did you call all of your friends and tell them this story and how horrible it was for you? I'm glad the dr was able to spend a little time with her child before going back off to work and sending the baby to daycare. Do you really have NOTHING better to complain about? |
Pp you are what's wrong with society...self absorbed ppl who think everyone wants to hear them and how they work so hard that the time they have they can do whatever they want. Screw everyone else right? Well I hope the next time you are out there is an obnoxious person screaming in your ear and annoying you. Oh wait that person probably is you! My bad! Grow up and respect others on public! |
You're clearly very upset. |
Wait a minute! Who are you to decide what other people are allowed to talk about in public? You're the entitled one, "entitled ones be damned". DH's friend has terminal cancer and is given a year, if that, to live, but for now, he feels okay and tries to go out, even for a short period of time. We met with him for lunch the other day, the restaurant was crowded, and yes, he was talking about his chemo, and his fatigue, and his hospitalizations, and guess what? We didn't give a crap if you overheard! |
This is a ridiculous statement, lets blame everyone in the DC area just because one person was rude. |
Hmmm I live in the DC area and I ma not sure where you are from but there are rude people everywhere and it is society getting worse and people feeling entitled. Look at getting pushed on the metro, people taking others cabs, talking on cell phones virtually anywhere even when its restricted, yelling at people for no reason, tailgating someone's bumper who is not driving fast enough...its an everyday occurence in this area. Maybe you have blinders on but I dont. |
You completely missed the point of this post. It had nothing to do with a doctor talking about medical things in general, it was that she was talking loudly on her cell phone ignoring her child so she could basically do work in the restaurant. Stop freaking out. Damn. |
The whole idea of this situation is that she was talking on the phone while sitting at the table dining. It is RUDE to talk on the phone at the table when there are other people at the table with you, whether you are in public or having tea with your grandma in your kitchen. It was rude to her companion and the baby. I would somewhat justify if she was alone with the baby so couldn't leave the kid alone. But there was another adult at the table so she was supposed to excuse herself and walk out for a couple minutes to take/make the call. It doesn't matter how busy you are, there can be exceptions (like I said, leaving the baby alone etc.) but in general this is rude, whether the OP was there or not. Bad manners. |
Yes. This exactly. My husband came across this thread last night and he scoffed and was blown away by the insanity of this thread. The OPs complaint was without warrant, as it was a practically empty restaurant in the afternoon. People are allowed to talk in public. Doctor's are allowed to go to restaurants. They also are allowed to take calls. Even if it's an inconvenience to you. Sick people should be able to have a conversation about their illness in public without people judging them for doing so. Anyone who thinks otherwise has a sense of entitlement. It's very simple. |
So if the restaurant had more people in it are you saying it would be ok to be disrespectful and talk on your phone while many people wanted to enjoy dinner together? Reagardless of the convo, frankly I do not care what she was talking about...I find talking on a cell phone in a restaurant (not public outside area) rude unless you are the only person there. |
And that is your opinion. Somebody talking on a cell phone doesn't bother me. |
You did not answer my question. So just because it does not bother you...you cannot see how its annoying to people who go out to enjoy each others company and all they hear is someone gabbing on their phone? |
I did answer your question. |
