If the speaker volume was indeed intrusive, then an appropriate response would have been to politely ask the woman to turn down the volume. Your snarky comment about not being the only person in the restaurant obviously had the desired result for you - the volume was turned down. You seemed also intent on embarrassing the woman or otherwise making her feel inferior to you - which you also likely succeeded in doing. That woman was likely quick to comply to avoid the situation escalating into something more violent. Because let’s face it, guy eating alone in a restaurant that makes phone calls from the bathroom confronting other patrons doesn’t exactly scream calm, lucid individuals
Yep, you've got me pegged. Keep making your public phone calls and irritating everyone around you.
I'm sure I was much more polite than I conveyed in my post. You know how we tend to embellish stories on HOL. Unlike many on here, I don't go out into public looking for a fight. I'm very respectful of everyone that I come into contact with, hold doors for others, help people when they ask for directions, stop to help people that have car trouble. Generally a friendly guy. But I don't like when others think they are more important than anyone else. Including being disrespectful to servers in restaurants. They bust their assess, and I always take care of them as well as possible.
