Im a big proponent of being polite but if your going to put your behavior or views in ny lap your going to get my opinion. And corrected on your behavior. People are so oblivious to social standards and norms.The sad thing is, most of the people I see doing this are in my age group 50s-60s. Last year my fiance and I were in a restaurant and a guy around my age decided to call his son and have him on speaker so his wife and their friends could hear the conversation. They were at the table next to ours. I fumed for a couple of minutes while my fiance told me to ignore it, then my brother called me. I answered with the phone to my ear, but started talking loud telling my brother I couldn't hear him because some idiot was talking on speaker at the table next to us. My brother realized what I was doing and laughlingly told me not to be an ***hole and I loudly responded that, "yes, he is a rude ***hole." My passive/aggressive call went on for another minute or so, then the guy at the next table seemed to take the hint and take his phone off speaker.
