Restaurant Etiquette

I love eating out, and trying new places ( this is probably the reason why I suffered from a bad case of food poisoning recently) It just makes me so mad when I go eat out, and other inconsiderate patrons just spoil my appetite.
I mean seriously, keep your dysfunctional family issues to yourself.  No one wants to hear or see it.  While eating out today I was seated next to a drunken family at a hot pot restaurant. 
First thing they ask  the waiter, "You Vietnamese or Chinese?" 
Waiter, "Chinese"
Guy goes, "Oh, come on you know how to speak Vietnamese! I want 5 beers and bottle of wine please."
Word of advice, if you're annoying sober, you're worse drunk.
30 minutes into dinner they were singing Vietnamese folkloric music and chanting weird poetry, and quacking of to their kids about eating vegetables.
They man told his, probably 10 year old daughter, " You need to learn to drink alcohol, or you're not my daughter, your mother probably slept with another man."
Okay, I don't hate my own people. I hate people who are ignorant, in other words, they have no manners, no consideration, no class! 
People like that always think their right, the "everyone  loves me" train of thought is such a misconception.  Everyone hates you, you annoy me, and I can't stand you!
I am so glad I am not their kid, I would be embarrassed to go in public with people like that.
Next time they are at a restaurant they should stay away from alcohol and keep their mouths shut, because someone will snap one day. 

Things to be aware of ;
* use your indoor voice.
*don't include everyone in the restaurant in your business
* Practice personal hygiene
*pull up your pants when sitting, no one wants to see that crack
*use a napkin
*don't breast feed your baby at the table
* Don't ask stupid questions and demand people to answer it.
* Use your utensils
