been there. Waiting on a table while taking my mother out to dinner I found myself staring out a window. The next thing I knew two 20-something girls decided I was staring at them and began making faces at me, picking their noses, as well as other acts of stupidity in an attempt to get me to stop looking 'over' them. Sadly enough I don't think there is anything I could have done at the time to educate the girls (and I do mean 'girls') that they were not 'that good' and that I didn't even know they existed until they began to act like self centered fools. Later I began to realize, yes there really are that many stupid, self centered people in the world. The answer is very simple. You have to be smarter than the idiot. Sounds simple enough but it can be more difficult in practice. First off if you are the man being seated you do not HAVE TO sit at the first place you are shown. I find my self looking at the traffic flow around me as well as who is sitting where. If I think there might be a problem I sit somewhere else. If you are the woman who thinks you are being eye-balled by a 'peeg', this might sound strange but say hello. I you engage this 'peeg' in polite conversation you might find out he is a descent person. I'm not saying go home with him or exchange intimate details of our life but if you can politely tell him that he is making you feel uncomfortable you might be able to separate the swine from some innocent male patron.
