So I am willing to bet that we have ALL been an unwilling witness (or victim) to the strangely odd phenomenon known as public arguing. There you are, out and about having a good old time, when suddenly people start to argue. Could be a couple having a lover's quarrel, or just two people disagreeing on something simple yet amazingly stupid.
Completely and utterly ruins every shred of fun you are trying to have.
For example, yesterday I met with a new location for a show and afterwards stopped at a fast food place to get something to eat. I had a killer headache and needed caffeine, stat. When I sat down to eat the people working the front counter had a dispute about a scheduling issue, and they began to argue about it.
At...the...front...counter. Seriously.
So it started with two hens clucking at each other, then before you know it the whole damn staff is on it. People are actully trying to order and they are still jawing at each other. Let's just say that my headache got much worse after that nonsense. I just couldn't believe what was going on.
Another quick example is when I was in North Carolina this past summer I stopped at a Food Lion real early in the morning to pick up some items to make my world famous omelettes. While in the produce section a manager type was berating a low level employee type for some infraction she performed recently.
In the produce section. Right in the middle by the watermelons.
Not in an office, not in the storeroom, hell not even outside. But right in the middle of the freaking store. Are you kidding me? Do you really want to humiliate her in public like that, as well as make yourself look like that big of a jackass that you have to wield the power of your authority so everyone can see it? Put that tiny thing away and talk to her elsewhere. We, the public, don't want to see it!
All I can say is, people next time you fight with someone for any reason, first realize that it's probably over something stupid, and second realize where you are. People don't want to hear you air your dirty laundry, and they certainly don't want to hear you chewing someone else out. It is rude on so many levels I cannot even begin to describe it. Take it somewhere off the beaten path and stop stomping on my rainbows while I am having fun. Bastards.
Note to Taylor Swift: next time Kanye interrupts you, just ask on the mic to the whole crowd if he likes fish sticks. The whole room will explode, trust me on that one.

We know what it's like kid. We really do.
Here we see Justin Timberlake either about to punch a guy. Or kiss him. I vote kiss.
One of the most famous public fights. What a dick.
