Have you ever stayed somewhere long past your welcome? Have you ever had complete disregard for everyone around you?
That was my experience this evening.
There is a very small restaurant which I visit occasionally. The service and food are generally great. I've always had wonderful experiences there.
My girl and I decided to head out to eat tonight. Once we arrived at the location we noticed it was much busier than usual. Given the size of this location, I could tell we were going to have to wait a bit.
We stood next to the normal, seat yourself sign, unable to because all seats were taken. The waiter greeted us and let us know the wait would likely be 30-40 minutes.
As we stood there waiting I took notice of a ridiculous 3 table arrangement with only 3 people sitting there. There were empty plates, and cups scattered about. Food was packaged in to-go containers.
Time ticked by, and these folks were still there, 10, 20, 30 minutes. I began to fume inside. A line had formed behind of us. We're these people that fucking oblivious? Get the fuck up and go outside. No. They just sat there laughing and chatting, not eating or drinking anything.
Eventually, we were seated at the bar. We enjoyed the rest of our dining experience while frequently looking back at these douchebags.
We managed to finish our meal, pay, and leave while these folks were still gabbing.
For the love of god, have some fucking courtesy.
