Help please. Business class lounge etiquette
Posted on behalf of a friend:
So, I was in a busy lounge at the airport albeit the business class lounge, while you have a couple talking on one side, another couple of guys in front talking business and the person next to you puts the ear phones and starts talking on the phone.
I noticed a morbidly obese man moving around quite uncomfortably with facial signs of someone suffering from heavy constipation. He was quite violently blowing his nose on people too.
He was exhibiting various behaviours like:
(a) Sitting quietly playing drums on his belly and ignoring everyone
(b) Having a go at people talking in groups
(c) Interrupting and gobbing off people on the phone.
He answered his phone and started swearing at some poor guy who was probably asking him for advice on getting a contract. He also swore at someone who was possibly asking him for advice either on buying a sofa, stocks or a BTL. All I could hear were the words 'Fook me'
How should people in the lounge deal with him? What is the etiquette here?Tags: None
