Hi, my name is Randy Hill and I am just one of thousands of people around the world, tired and frustrated with the lack of consideration that is displayed by a growing "demographic" that I call, "the great unwashed and ill-mannered." People who can't seem to get outside their little world long enough to see the stress that they create on the rest of the population.

Cell phones, Sushi and Sticky Fingers
By Randy | May 4, 2007
You know who you are. My wife and I went out for sushi in Salem, Oregon tonight with visions of California rolls dancing through our heads. This is now one of our favorite places to eat and you had to show up tonight and take the fun out of it.
We were in a booth; you were sitting at the counter. You are a boyfriend and girlfriend pushing forty-something. Boyfriend…you sat there with that stupid looking wireless cell phone thingy stuck in your ear and talking to the air. Girlfriend…you rambled and laughed this goofy laugh which was annoying in itself. Then girlfriend, you did the unspeakable. As the sushi sailed by on the sushi conveyor belt, you picked up the little plastic dish cover (sort of a minature sneeze guard) and stuck your index finger with in inches of the food waving your finger around and making inane comments about the sushi.
The plastic cover is there for a reason! I don’t want the sushi after your “who knows where it’s been” finger flicks who knows what on the food. Yuck! What are you thinking?
So boyfriend and girlfriend, please take some time out to learn some very simple rules of sushi eating etiquette.
A wise Japanese proverb says: “The reputation of a thousand years may be determined by the conduct of one hour.”
