"If it was me (f) on my own nothing. If Mr N was with me I dread to think. The poor wife and daughter, was he d*unk or something?" No.. he was just a very rude man. He seemed to be annoyed at his wife because her friend had given her advice. | |||

" "fucking British waste of fucking space". At this point, how would you have reacted? " I get extremely clumsy when flustered, so would probably lent on the table knocking his food and drink into his lap. Then being British I would have apologised profusely tried to help and accidentally pinned his scrotum to his chair with his fork.  | |||
 . I understand completely why you called him out but there's probably a good chance he'd have taken out the 'humiliation' you subjected him to on her later.
In situations like that I don't know what I've have done. Glared pointedly at him probably and refused to look away, tried to shame him with looks of contempt. But even then I'd be concerned I was making it worse for the woman. Maybe, just maybe, if their victim sees others stand up to someone like that they might just find the inner strength to leave or seek help (because if you're regularly subjected to abuse, it all too often gets minimised/normalised - through fear, and/or having your self esteem eroded) .... but it's very hard to know what to do for the best. | |||
"I deal with it like this. You’ve judged the person for being x,y,z They clearly don’t share your moral compass. Say your bit if you feel you need to. Say it calmly and sensibly. Move away from the situation or get them moved. Live your life in the comfort that you can behave yourself socially and not be an annoyance to others. "I agree with this. | |||

"The awful thing is, if he was unconcerned about speaking to his wife like that in public, chances are he'd possibly be even more abusive in private . I understand completely why you called him out but there's probably a good chance he'd have taken out the 'humiliation' you subjected him to on her later.

"This is the first thing I thought too. I would be wary of making him more angry in case he took it out on his wife when they got home. If she went to the loo I might follow soon after and ask if she was ok. | |||

"Goodness me, what a terrible way to behave. You have to feel for the wife, I bet she hates him. I'm not good with confrontational situations so I would of probably spoken to the restaurant manager." People already had spoken with staff, I think their patience run out around the same time as mine.. | |||

Nothing would have stopped me enjoying them especially if there were a few frites on the side. Would have been too engrossed in the food but still alerted a waiter of the issue, I’d want him addressed and I’m not doing it. I avoid such sticky situations, had my fair share but good for you, got it off your chest, genuinely hope the treatment went well. | |||

I agree with you 100% on the bigger picture etc. I genuinely do , but that's why I said it's impossible to say from my point of view how I'd react , until faced with the situation, and while everything you said makes sense I am aware enough of myself that while I have gotten better at counting to ten ,depending on the levels of abuse my tolerance still has limits | |||

"I think I would at that point gone to the toilet and composed myself, because it's the safest thing all round, I would then return to my table, and request he either shuts up, or leaves, any more of his bullshit, and I'm afraid I would be inclined to smash his face into his table until he understood the Queens English.

"I wouldn't have spoken to him at all even to ask him to tone it down. But I would've asked the wife if she was OK." Similar vein to me. I have a card in my wallet/bag that I carry - it has a comment: “I apologise if I speak out of turn, but I’d rather have acted and be wrong, then not acted and potentially let you down. If the card is not relevant for you, please keep it to pass to someone else... Freephone 24-Hour National Domestic Violence Helpline: 0808 2000 247 There is help. There is a future.” I would have slipped this to her when he was otherwise distracted, or ask the restaurant staff to do so. | |||
"I wouldn't have spoken to him at all even to ask him to tone it down. But I would've asked the wife if she was OK." It's tricky isn't it? I'd be tempted, but I wonder if doing that would get her a pasting later... | |||

"I was sat in a restaurant for lunch, enters an American gent and is put on a table beside me.. Quite rudely, he orders a drink and some food and a short time later his wife arrives. Alls ok for a time and then his tone turns nasty towards his wife, accusing her "slut daughter" of questionable acts (I assume his step kid). People nearby start taking notice as he starts to swear more frequently at his wife and being quite vocal about her "fucking friend" and "if that fucking bitch sticks her fucking nose in my business, I'll fuck her over".. Having now had my quiet lunch ruined, I leaned across and politely asked him to keep his voice down, stop the swearing and save his argument until they are back to their hotel room.. Unsurprisingly he turns his abuse on me... "fucking British waste of fucking space". At this point, how would you have reacted? " Ask him for his daughter's phone number. | |||
"I wouldn't have spoken to him at all even to ask him to tone it down. But I would've asked the wife if she was OK. It's tricky isn't it? I'd be tempted, but I wonder if doing that would get her a pasting later..." There are, of course, nuances. I'd hope ignoring his blatant tantrum would shame him, I'd hope his wife would feel she wasn't alone and I'd hope it would make him realise people were noticing. I'd hope that was enough to make him think twice even in private. | |||

"Elpis that is exactly what should have been said. As ever, us men have our say but in the shortest sentence you would've both hit him where it hurts the most, harder than any punch, made him think about his behaviour and done the most important thing which is make sure his wife actually was ok. Well said! I've tucked that in my pocket if I need it in the future " Probably a little naive of me, I expected him to calm down when I spoke with him.. I had run through all the possible outcomes, fists flying, his wife turning nasty too, and considered that I was sat almost besides him, trapped behind my table and a wall the other side, should he have become aggressive, I wasn't in a good position.. Nonetheless, I ploughed on, asking him politely to shut up. Once I'd let him vent and attract the attention of most of the customers and staff, I was about to come out with the killer line when an old couple at an adjacent table interjected. "Sir" he said, "you are not a gentleman, and if you did not notice the sign at the door, it says only gentleman are allowed to dine here", the old guy got up, grabbed the yanks arm and tryed to get him out of his seat. The old guy was then joined by some others from different tables, all jostling to get him out of his seat, all telling him how rude he was, however he should not insult the British or a lady; if it wasn't for Britain, America would be empty plains; it was Britain that made America civilised; that he was a disgrace to his fellow Americans; he had all the charm of Donald Trump.. Now joined by the restaurant manager and staff, the American was taken to the door and told to leave while a couple of ladies talked to his wife. And that was that, a very British thing happened, everybody returned to their meals, muttered some comments about how rude that man was and carried on as if nothing had happened... His wife was asked by a table of ladies to join them, which she did. She was still with them when I left, drinking and laughing. It was refreshing to see others willing to get involved, even if it was a man in his 70's. | |||

"I think I would have asked for the manager to come to my table and asked him, in a way loud enough for the American chap to hear, to deal with the problem and see what happened next. If he tried to deal with it and things got nasty I'd back him up with plenty of witnesses to say I hadn't started it. If he refused to try and sort it out I would refuse to pay or, offer a much reduced payment for my meal and leave. The law used to be that if you weren't happy with your meal you were within your rites to offer what you thought it was worth. Don't know anyone that's had the bottle to do that though and the law may have changed or just been a myth!" I’ve done that before with a meal where we’ve had cause to make several complaints. There were 10 of us & when we paid the bill we told them what elements of the bill we were prepared to pay & what we weren’t. They accepted it & apologised profusely about all the problems. And I’d have blanked the guy, spoken only to the wife, expressed my sympathies that her husband was clearly a retarded moron with Tourette’s & asked if she would care to join me for a civilised conversation. I would also have complained to the manager first & let her know that I’d done that, and pointed out to her that although he’s ruined everyone else’s lunch, it would seem he’s ruining her life, and given her the name of a good divorce lawyer. Wouldn’t have uttered one word to him. Unless he butted in, at which point I’d ask him to kindly not interrupt my conversation with his wife. Guys like that hate being sidelined & like to throw their weight around, so it would have annoyed him significantly more than giving him another opportunity for an altercation. | |||

"I was sat in a restaurant for lunch, enters an American gent and is put on a table beside me.. Quite rudely, he orders a drink and some food and a short time later his wife arrives. Alls ok for a time and then his tone turns nasty towards his wife, accusing her "slut daughter" of questionable acts (I assume his step kid). People nearby start taking notice as he starts to swear more frequently at his wife and being quite vocal about her "fucking friend" and "if that fucking bitch sticks her fucking nose in my business, I'll fuck her over".. Having now had my quiet lunch ruined, I leaned across and politely asked him to keep his voice down, stop the swearing and save his argument until they are back to their hotel room.. Unsurprisingly he turns his abuse on me... "fucking British waste of fucking space". At this point, how would you have reacted? kissed him firmly on the lips and caressed his nuts ........then punched his lights out "but only if it was a restaurant I didn't like | |||
