I'm in a restaurant, just got off work, trying to eat my "end of work week breakfast". Meanwhile some old fucks are talking shit about poor people and people on welfare half way across the room, and good fucking lord it's pissing me off.

Good god I have to deal with co-workers shitting where they eat, why can't I get some fucking reprieve away from work...

This is why i cringe when people say “just go outside” “just touch grass” brother the outside is more horrific than inside and i would be touching dead grass and concrete

Call over their server and preemptively and loudly give them an extra tip because you can tell their table won't.

as your attorney, I advise against breaking into their car with the table knife as a slimjim, hiding in the back seat and popping up like some shit out of a horror movie to visit violence upon them while claiming to be the ghost of Tim Joad.

This is why I always put in my earbuds and put on a podcast in most public spaces. I've always had issues with this sort of thing (as well as some paranoid anxiety and fears of people talking behind my back in the past, but that fixation actually disappeared when I started E.)

Why don't you want to cause a scene?

Because I just want to eat in peace without having to hear anyone's bullshit, and if I do confront their shit I know I'm going to be an irrationally angry motherfucker if I do, probably enough to get tossed.

Edit: Also like, I live in a rural area, i know I'm very much outnumbered.

Well, I'm sure you know what's best for yourself, I'm just thinking back to what I've done (or other times wished I'd done) in similar situations.
