Ok, so I went to a restaurant with my wife and kids and order our meal. My kids were making a little noise, but hey, all kids make noise right? Anyway, my cell phone rings, so I answer it. It was a quick call, so I talked for a few minutes and hung up. By this time, our food gets here and my son starts showing us a new a dance he learned at school and my cell phone goes off. Well, I'd rather not miss my son doing this new dance he just learned, so I don't answer it.

Then some jerk a couple tables over says something like "Turn off your phone!"... WTF? It was just ringing, what harm is done? So I ask him if he wants to take this arguement outside, but he just ignores me. Typical...

So, I call over the manager and complain about the people that told me to turn my phone off. I mean, what kind of stick does this guy have lodged in his A$s? So the manager goes over to them and asks what the problem is and they say something about my kids. My wife jumps and and starts defending them and I'm like "WTF dude, want to take this outside?" The manager then asks them to move to another table, which isn't satisfactory to me as I only had my cell phone on and I think they should leave...

After about another minute, I talk to my wife and we decide to leave because of the service we've gotten. I figure, we leave and not pay the ticket, that'll teach em! :)

Anyway, what a night!

Why can't you decline the call so that your phone doesn't ring anymore? Is it THAT hard to watch your son dance in a restaurant and hit 'decline' simultaneously? I see why you'd be mad and complain because someone told you to turn off your phone. It's annoying and it's common courtesy to turn off your phone in a restaurant environment. It's also rude to answer your phone in middle of the restaurant while others are trying to also enjoy their dinner.

Here's a simple solution. Put your phone on vibrate, answer your calls outside, and decline calls that aren't important. If I was the other guy, I'd be angry too.

I would have taken you outside. Turn off your F'ing cell phone at a restaurant. Be considerate, I don't know what types of restaurants you frequent, but most restraunts I attend require you to leave your cell phone in the coat room. Maybe applebees or something is different, if it is a sports bar it is ok, but a restaurant, turn it off. End of story. Learn some class.

hahah, I was at the movies (X2) the other day and this woman up front was clapping and laughing at the most inappropriate times, it was ridiculous, she laughed when someone would die, and just started clapping for no reason. The kicker? She was by herself, it wasn't like she was with a group, she was just out of her mind lol.
