There are so many reasons I hate people who talk on cell phones in restaurants that I don’t even know where I’d start. But a pox on the really freakish diners who don’t give a rat’s ass about the customers sitting around them as they discuss, loudly, very personal details about their lives and the lives of family members. Take, for example, the woman I recently overheard at a Mexican restaurant in a northern suburb of Kansas City, practically screaming into her phone.
“Well, I’m worried about him. He’s already had three teeth pulled and now they need to remove a cyst from his back. From his back! I don’t know what’s wrong with the teeth. The gums were infected. Infected!”
She took a momentary break from her phone conversation to order a cocktail from the waiter. A margarita. Then she was back to the clinical details: “We think he might have the symptoms of some other diseases. Can I tell you some of the symptoms? Well, there’s that cyst, of course….”
Now that smoking has been banned from most restaurants and bars in the metro, can cell phones please be next?

only BOORS do the cell phone"thang"in a restaurant. i say ,that when they pull it out-- "kick em to the curb"!!!
I so agree, recently we were at a restaurant on the Plaza and the woman across from us was on the phone and eating the whole time...takes multi-tasking to a new level. I told my husband, if I was the man with her, I'd have got up an left. No point of him being there other then to pay the bill I guess. Sad commentary on society.
