And since my wife and I were basically stuck right there while we were waiting for our table, we were basically a captive audience. So I tried to ignore it, but it got to be too much.

I pretended like I didn't know he was on the phone, and I started having the conversation with him. He said to the person on the other end of the line, "So did you go out last night or did you just hang in?"

I said in full voice, "Oh, hey, how's it goin. Well I was going to go out, but I ate chinese for dinner and I was dealing with some gas, so I decided I'd just hang in."

He shot a look and ignored me.

He then said to the person on the other end of the line, "Oh that sucks." Which jived perfectly with what I had said to him. So I said "Yeah, see but I should know better. Chinese food always does that to me, but I still order it. That's kind of what I get."

He gets annoyed, turns to me and says "dude I'm on the phone, I'm not talking to you. I don't want to hear your problems."

So I said "OK good, because nobody here wants to be a part of your phone conversation either. Maybe you should take it outside or hang up."

Then the hostess called me and my wife for our table, and I got to make a dramatic exit.

Brilliant, see Matty this is why we need that reputation system that I have been advocating. Posts like this need to get rewarded.

I am interested to know what your wife thought during the whole thing. Was she embarrassed or lol'ingg.
