I think resturants should have cell phone and kid free dining available. I have been known to ask the person seating us to put us in a non-kid zone. A couple have kind of looked at me funny but I tell them I don't want to be near any kids that might act up and ruin my dinner. A couple of times a waitress has tried to seat us near kids and I've flat told her no, we won't sit there because of the kids.
Don't get me wrong. I have 4 grown kids and 13 grandkids. But when our kids were growing up, they knew better than to act out in public at a restaurant or anywhere. And our grandkids also know that isn't tolerated by us. I have never had to get on their case real bad in public. When they start to act up a little, I just look at them and say, "Hey, you're in public, you know how to act right and you better do it now." Never had to say it twice at same place.

Why answer a call while in a restaurant in first place? Unless you're waiting on the organ transplant, that call can wait until after you have eaten. And had you not taken the call, then you wouldn't have any reason to be upset. Just my 2 cents.
+1
Talking on a cell phone while in a restruant is silly and rude to those around you.

Well thanks, guy's perhaps I did overreact a bit. After all I was a little tired at the time and just wanted to mellow out. As for answering the phone, generally I do not at that time but thought it might be important since it was after 10pm on a Saturday.

I’ve had it rain when a person made a joke about ANYTHING I don’t like so I kicked my cell phone into a couple of kids acting up in a restaurant when the organ transplant didn’t come through because some tough guy wanted to wash his bike. How sweet is that? Stupid not-bikers.

I'm pissed. I got rained on this morning, and not one associate of mine called last night to warn me, the rat bastards.

My lady friend had some plans to come visit me couple of weekends ago, she had to ride 120 miles to meet me and I was going to ride back with her for a party. She calls on Thursday and says its gonna rain Sat, Are we still doing this? I told her I paid extra for the option for my bike to run in the rain, I'm riding to the party! So she comes on her bike on Fri... We leave Sat to go to the party - I sneak my full face in my bag, put on chaps and leather jacket and we hit the road. It starts raining so we pull over - While shes putting her Frog Togs on over her wet clothes I bust out the full face - the look on her face was priceless. I give her credit though, for her first time riding it the rain she did real good and didn't complain at all, at least not to me.

The rain helps wash away the tiny pieces of cages that are all over the road.

I was at a restaurant last night and received a call from a associate that inquired how I was doing and then proceeded to mention to me that the forecast for the next day was rain. Since he was not a rider I took it that he did not know better and I didn't make an issue that he had irritated me with this information and that I thought he was just player hating. How do my fellow riders feel when a four wheeler brings this into a conversation?
Well, frankly, I don't give a damn.
I avoid riding in rain if I can, but if I feel like riding and can't wait and it's raining... to hell with the rain, I ride all the same.
I usually don't even bother with a rainsuit. The heat from the engine and the air from riding will keep me dry :D
I try to avoid it in town, during rush hour, though. Too many drivers seem to go blind AND imbecile with rain.

When someone says something to me about rain my response is, "it aint the first time and it won't be the last"
One day after work it was raining pretty hard so I got dressed out in my rain gear and as I was walking out I passed a lady walking in and she said your gonna get wet, as I was walking out in full rain gear!!!!!!
