tonight i…
…went to dinner and sat near an obnoxiously loud table of 3 guys. One was much older, one was douchy and overbearing in the conversation, and the last one seemed like the loud one’s parrot. At first, it sounded like the two younger guys were trying to make a business deal with the older one. The more talkative one was trying really hard to pitch his business idea for a while. Then, the conversation went off of business to topics like movies and frat/college days. Still, the loud one would take every opportunity he could to throw in little snippets about how driven, smart, reliable, and competant he was. The older man seemed to like what he was hearing but didn’t seem that enthusiastic. This was the most pathetic, overly eager conversation I’d ever heard. I couldn’t stop myself from snickering at a lot of it. At the end of the meal, the younger guys said, “Thanks, Dad”.
