Old fashioned, etiquette or just plain grumpy?

[Frogdinner]

I was taught to sit nicely at the table, especially whilst out for dinner.

AIBU to think that this is unacceptable:
Table of 6, 5 adults + 1 toddler, 9pm. Toddler was good but 1 adult kept winding him up, and getting him to join in shrieking "go team (insert as many girls' names as you can think of) whoop whoop whoop".

Laughing and shouting so all other tables can hear you, rather than keeping at an acceptable level.

At each track that comes on, behave as though you're 13 at the local disco and it's your favourite song and dance in your seat with a mouthful of food and a burger in your hands.

Talk loudly about periods and sex with female friends so other tables can hear.

All the above at different venues.

Is it just me? AIBU? Or just plain grumpy?

Tell me what really irritates you when you go out for food.

Winding the toddler up is not on

Laughing volume - I don’t think I’d pay attention to this but that’s because I don’t really go out with noisy people.

The dancing is cringe

Talking loudly is annoying but I don’t really care about periods/sex being discussed. I think you’re being a bit overbearing there - but overall it sounds like you had dinner in the middle of a football match.

Toddler at 9pm?

So tell us you hate this person without telling us you hate this person 😂

Yanbu

But poor table manners are my biggest peeve

Which restaurant were you in?

YANBU. They sound like they have poor table manners (the adult, not the toddler).

She says they were different venues.

I think you've been a bit unlucky in your choices OP.

I wish people would remember when they are out that there are other people in the same room who may not want to share all their whoop-de-doo shit. Keep your celebrations to your own table. The rest of us do not want to know.

I wouldn't be blaming the toddler here op!!!

I'd have made an excuse and left.

The toddler was well behaved, he said in the end he didn't want to do it, she said "oh just one more, and another" etc.
Another table left; so did we!

Well, I think I’d be rethinking the kind of places I went to eat out, if you’ve been this irritated at other diners at a whole range of different venues.

YANBU. People are bloody annoying - the stuff so loud that other people can hear is basically showing off. They should grow up and realise that people hate them, not admire them. I've had many a meal ruined by show-offs.

I really didn't understand your post to begin with. I was thinking this was one group of people, behaving this way in various different venues, and I was wondering why you were still going out with them.

But I'm thinking this is different experienced if different groups of people when out and about?

Different experiences of different groups..

I'm not helping myself be understood either...

No you're not. It ruins it for everyone . It shows a total lack of manners and consideration for other diners
People who do that are on par with people not removing a crying baby from a church
