I also don't like when a couple sits in the same side of a booth at a restaurant with no one sitting on the other side. I know they're probably in love, but WEIRD!Hope Grebnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07592426600564725321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501736109855510638.post-37896607298342382402011-01-13T19:39:43.553-08:002011-01-13T19:39:43.553-08:00Where to begin?

I don't care if it is a friend or stranger, I do it. Secondly, unreturned communication. I have ended friendships over this, or at least I think I have. It's hard to tell when people fail to communicate back. Thirdly, though I could go on would be people who have their nose stuck in their cell phones when in a one-on-one setting. For example, I find it extremely rude to be out for coffee with someone and have them texting/emailing constantly. It really, really bothers me. I don't mind, and sometimes engage in the 'final' check directly after sitting down for the drink/meal/event and a cursory check while the other is in the restrom, chatting with a patron they recognize in the establishment, and then while waiting for our bill to be returned. This is a fairly new one with the improved technology, but it bothers me more and more each day. That's all for now. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
