I think some people here would faint if they saw any of these happen.

We were dining in Athens Greece at an outdoor restaurant. Everything was beautiful and the food was delicious. I was so absorbed in the wonderful mood and atmosphere, until a lady at the next table dumped olive oil from a beautiful ceramic bottle with a metal pour spout into her hand over and over again contaminating the bottle and oil by rubbing the contents over her arms and legs....like Josie Maren, then touching the pour spout again with her hands to double dip.

Wow, that is a major turnoff, disgusting.

I don’t really notice other people and just concentrate on my table. I would notice at my table though but unless it’s my kid I wouldn’t say anything.

I think that is the second problem. There was a time when parents delt with tantrums by taking the child and walking out of the public space, going home if necessary.
