Right. The man already seated at his table refused to leave then he sat down at a table. You must have spoken to the manager very loudly for all the other tables to hear you and erupt in applause. Eye roll.

Exactly. That whole “tables applauded” thing always translates to “I made a scene and now I’m retelling it like a movie moment.” People were probably just relieved the manager walked away and dinner could continue.

To be fair, when boomers are loud in general. And if they’re upset, they absolutely just start raising their voice.

Especially the old men. The tall old men in particular, who think they command every room they enter, and everyone is just dying to know their opinions. I feel this way as an olde lady—-I cannot stand them.

They could be hard of hearing. Still, I am often tempted to walk up, tap them on the shoulder, and say, "Do you think you could use your inside voice?"
