I Had a Great Lunch in Lansing, Except for One Seriously Annoying Thing

I grabbed lunch in Lansing with a friend the other day, and it was great! Well, except for this one part...

A Great Lunch at The Tangy Crab in Lansing

Allow me to preface this by saying that the one part that wasn't great had nothing to do with the restaurant. In fact, The Tangy Crab (where we had lunch) was phenomenal. The food was fresh and delicious, the service was kind and attentive, and who doesn't like wearing a giant bib while they eat a meal?

However, there was one thing that was rather annoying about our lunch. And that "thing" was actually another patron.

When Another Restaurant Patron Takes Over the Music

I'm not sure why, but this particular patron decided they didn't quite like the music the restaurant was playing. Instead, they decided to play their own music. And not just for their own listening pleasure. No, no.

Instead, they listened to music and watched videos on their phone at full volume.

My friend, isn't that what headphones are for?

This person proceeded to listen to music, watch various social media videos, and even put on a TV show at one point.

Can We Bring Back Basic Restaurant Etiquette?

Please tell me this isn't a new thing. I really don't want to spend my restaurant meals listening to whatever you're listening to on your phone.

Now, you might be thinking this was a "kid" who didn't know any better. But nope. This was a grown adult who should have definitely known better.

At the end of the day, is this the biggest deal in the world? No. But when did it become acceptable to play audio on your phone louder than the restaurant music? Just sayin'...

Okay, rant over.
