I think it's rude to go to a restaurant where women are laughing and shrieking and talking so loudly that you can't even hear people at your own table. I usually just move but hey ...it's annoying. Maybe Congress can pass a no talking while eating law.
Amen, Cindy! It is the WAY they are talking, not to whom, nor by whaich means that matters.
Discrete cell phone speakers trump noisy table talkers in the politeness category every time.
We have a lot of musical events hereabouts, but we rarely attend any more; not because of cell phones, but because of the self centered motor-mouths.
Let’s make a deal you Congress Critters... you give us back our own oil and we will not annoy you with silly cell phone calls on your planes. Deal?
