    You can't go to a restaurant these days

    Without some fucking idiot at the table next to you taking a pic of their food as soon as it arrives.

    I swear every time i go out for a meal now, i always see someone sitting taking fucking pics of their food, and then quickly no doubt uploading to whatever social media before actually eating the fucking thing.

    TGI Friday's in the worst place over here for it. Every cocktail, then starter, main course, and sweet that arrives at someone's table, the phone comes out to snap pics.

    Can't people just enjoy SOME things the old fashioned way anymore ??

      Who the fuck is showing off their meal at TGI Friday's of all places? That's doubly pathetic.

          Some places pay me to takes pics of what they serve me. $.02

          and TGIF's? Really? That is pretty low on the food chain rung.

                  i don't get the taking pictures of your food thing. they should be taking pictures of their bowel movements after the meal as well for the full experience.

                      As far as why someone would take a photo prior to eating it; it is all about the presentation. That is kind of diminished once a fork hits it.

                              A better question would be why the fuck are you eating at TGIF in the first place? hehe Eating in better places may save you from such things!

                              I never understood the taking pictures of food thing myself though. It never looks good, if you see how much lighting and 'modifying' they have to do to food for a commercial or a magazine it is ridiculous and unappetizing. I do post about my meals often, mostly because I have a lot of people asking, but I have yet to post pictures of it because it never translates well on cam.

                                Doesn't really bother me unless they are on my facebook feed. I usually just remove them from the feed.

                                Unless I was 16 and I was in love with some girl that posted pics of her food. Then I would like and comment on all of her meals.

                                  Taking pics of the food is one thing, but what really blows my mind is when a table full of people at a restaurant/bar/etc all sitting next to each other IN PERSON pull out their cell phones and start having text marathons

                                  The problem is, while they're doing that they're not paying any attention to the actual real in-person people who are sitting next to them! I find that pretty rude

                                  Personally I think it's a real shame, in some ways social media seems to be making society less social!

                                    A lot of self-proclaimed food critics out there perhaps? I can see it, as everyone these days is convinced that their opinion matters to everyone else so much so that they must blog about everything they do every day or the world will end.

                                    This is how I eat. This is what I eat. This is what they gave me to eat. This is a bad pic of what I ate looked like before I ate it.

                                    This is the way my barf looks.

                                                  Taste perception is influenced by many other sensations, eg texture, temperature, smell and visual appearance of a food,
                                                  taking a picture of your food, and seeing that picture after, would be a way to 'relive the moment'

                                                  same with listening to music and reading.. listen to the song, no matter what time has passed, you'll be able to remember the book

                                                      The problem is, while they're doing that they're not paying any attention to the actual real in-person people who are sitting next to them! I find that pretty rude

                                                      Personally I think it's a real shame, in some ways social media seems to be making society less social!
                                                      Whats worse is when people get a call during dinner and want to have the entire conversation, right there! If it is important and cannot wait until after dinner or whatever, please excuse yourself and go handle it.

                                                      I wish more people did that.

                                                          TGI Fridays in Glasgow isn't quite like your average shithole TGI's in North America. The food is good. Anytime I am home for a visit, I make a point to go for cocktails, I love it!

                                                              Is that what really bothers you? LOL
                                                              I personally hate to go to lake beach and see some old cunt taking her fucking little dog on public beach and let it swim in same place where kids swim. Or fucking smokers on beach next to me. Same shit in public parks where sign said NO DOG ALLOWED.
                                                              Last Sunday I went on Milford Beach in CT - it looked like dumpster. Dirty diaper on beach sand looks fucking gross.
                                                              So I am OK with people taking pics at TGI

                                                              Should we open THE HATE thread and post all negative experience over there?

She wasn't interested in eating and started fussing and throwing things (my niece, not my sister). I tried to get her to stop. She hurled an eggroll that landed at an adjacent table. The owner came over and told us that if we couldn't control her we would have to leave.

I'm more concerned by the guy who spends hours in a hot tub where drinks are being served while everyone else leaves for occasional expected bathroom breaks

                                                                            Also, I know that I have benefited from others taking pics just from reading Yelp reviews and the like. There could be a lot worse things than people being the tiny bit creative.

                                                                                              Commercials play into the craze alot. Commercial of a camera, you see someone take a picture of some guy and it says 'with this camera you can instantly share it on facebook!'.
                                                                                              Why? Why would you want to share average pics everyone and their mother makes with other anti-social media freaks? What the fuck is the reason? The commercials don't know either.

                                                                                              Latest commercial being aired here, where essentially they make fun of and ridicule social media for it's utter uselessness, with worthless dumb information:

                                                                                              Funny thing is, 99% of the viewers don't see the underlying message in this commercial how useless social media is: 'My potato looks like elvis', followed by several people with a sheepish gaze saying 'like'. Brilliant commercial, where the creators show how completely stupid, time-wasting and useless social media has become, and at the same time market this phone to the braindead social media power users.
