Foul Language in Restaurant at Table Next to You - WWYD?

This evening my wife an I went out for a nice sit-down meal, and after we ordered a man and woman came in and sat at the table across from us!

Because I spent years with the DOJ and Social Services, as well as a volunteer at the LA Union Rescue Mission for 24 years, I could see the lady was stoned or high on something! Of course, her behavior was loud and obnoxious, but what offended me was the man and his foul language which peppered with "F-bombs" every third or fourth word.

So, other than the manager asking them to lower the volume of their profane conservation, there seemed little more the restaurant was willing to do not to offend the other customers.

They finally lowered the volume, but because of our proximity to their table, we could still hear them. We noticed two other tables of customers leave; we remained as our meal had just been served, and as a diabetic, I needed to eat!

After they left I talked with the manager, and she said she received ten separate complaints about their manner of dress [apparently the lady had on nor underwear, and left dribbled urine on the booth seat] and language!

So, what would you do? I am not doing a poll on this; I figured your responses to my concerns will be more than adequate, and I appreciate it very much!

One more thing, the manager finally took them their check and told them to leave, after the man made a sexual comment to the waitress, and she refused to finish serving them!

Man, this world seems to be sliding down a slippery slope at high speed! :tear:

I had a similar experience but not as severe on a plane. What I did was I asked them to calm the language please. If they got hostile towards me I would call the police.

I'll assume that means me as is usually the case when I disagree with the mote response. How about you request that posters address what I say instead of me personally and all will be well?

Perhaps it is their attitudes that need adjusting.

Why are you so sarcastic? Please man show kindness and love. I do not agree with some posters here, but its their arguments I attack and not them.

??? There was nothing of sarcasm in that. Has every one on here lost it? :laugh: If you read what you just quoted, I was asking that people do exactly what you said you do.

What would I do? I'd get my wife and 7 year old boy and leave immediately. I've done it before.

I love how your response to fixing restaurant situations is always to be a tattletale. Handle them like a boss instead of a little snitch, like this.

Can't imagine how good people feel when third-grade insults like "tattle tale" and "snitch" are used.

Grow up and converse like adults, or please walk away from the conversation.

It is real tempting for me to start issuing "tickets" for playground stuff.

:BangHead:
