Diplomacy is an art, stemming from a thoughtful and pleasant attitude. It is a skillful ploy, a useful tool, requires some patience and forebearance and is something that you learn at your mother's knee. Your mother was a diplomat, CFrance. Oh. And sometimes I think it is geographic.

Ooooh, nice definition! I like that. Now if I can just master that art. Isn't that just always the rub? |

Well, that's the whole point of this thread; we want to be able to enjoy our meal when we're eating in a restaurant. There's a time and place for everything.

This actually happened to us at breakfast one time, with the sudden death of a friend happening later in the day. So who's to say whose "last conversation" takes precedence--the diners' or the cell phone user's? I say it comes down to the location. You are in a restaurant, so the diners take precedent. Take your cell phone conversation outside.

This guy, and the people he was with, would laugh so loudly you'd have to stop talking 3 table away. If they were in the olympics, they would have won a gold metal for loud laughing. It's worse than someone being on a cell phone. Where do people think they are when they laugh so loudly? Don't they have any volume control?

As far as wearing a hat in a restaurant is plain poor manners.
For the cell phones in public places the same thing, I think with the usage with cell phones I think it becomes addictive and they just can't stop. It's the same on this site which I check every day their are people who just have to comment on just about every comment and I think most of the people who again comment time and time again are just addicted to the site, they have to comment just like a drug addict. |

To me hats and cell phones are not a problem. What I cant stand is someone blowing there nose when you are eating / swallowing. To me that is discusting, then they put the hankerchief in their pocket. Talk about carrying around a pocket full of germs. Then who is the lucky person that has to pull it apart and wash this so it can be reused?

Re: talking on cell phones in public places ... please use your "inside voice". And then we all get to have what we want.

As I stated before, my cell phone is my husband's life-line (mine, too, sometimes). If I have to take a call in a restaurant, I do excuse myself from the table and step outside. No problem. People who know me, know the situation and those who don't need to reserve their judgment of others until they fill that person's shoes. Besides, I sure don't want my doctor to turn off his phone when one of us might need him and the hospital calls.
