NER douchetard vent
What do you consider to be proper coffee shop etiquette? ?Idon't mind conversation. ?It's not a library. ?But in a busy coffeeshop where so many people are obviously working (about 75% of tables are ofpeople working quietly on laptops), keep your conversations quiet. ?And ifyou talk on a cell phone, go outside.
These douchetards next to me are loudly criticizing everythingaround them. ?The music is too loud, too "random" (we went fromMichael Jackson to Bjork to Godspeed You Black Emperor to Ella Fitzgerald, which is why Ilove this place). ?"Coffee shops are too disorganized for myOCD." ? They're in their mid to late 20s, but they'reacting like 13 year old giggling dork boys, and it's making me irritated.?You know the type of guy that loudly talks about all the"chicks" they've "done," and you know they're likelyvirgins? ?That's these guys. ?I have work to do, yo. ?I come tocoffee shops b/c the general din helps me concentrate, but obnoxiousnessdoesn't. ?Grrrr.

I hate people like this on the bus too.
We don't all need to hear how stupid you are!!!!!
I usually think it's best to enter a place respectful of the atmosphere it had when you arrived. If the coffee shop is loud and lively when I get there, then my friends and I can join in. If it's subdued and people are working, then we talk quietly.
I know when one is in a public place, basically all bets are off as far as what to expect, but I think it's polite to respect the people around you regardless.
It's sort of like when people come onto message boards like this. Inevitably someone rude and nasty will come on, and when told that they are being rude, will say "This is a public board and you should be able to take it yada yada". It's a public space and one has every right to be snarky, rude, disrespectful, etc., but that doesn't make it right.
