The Square Above Charlie Weaver

At a club and there is a guy taking up prime seating across the bar from me. For a solid hour he is LOUDLY on his phone. Has earbuds but is yelling at his phone. We all could not help but notice it was some sort of business meeting he was leading. Yelling, arguing, cursing for a an hour. Having to yell because the music was very loud.

Girls tried asking for dances and he rudely dismissed them. "Can't you see I'm on the phone?" At one point people next to him got loud in their own right and he barked "Hey, can't you see I'm on the phone?" The other guy and two girls just moved away.

So random thoughts:

Who the FUCK goes to a strip club to hold a conference call? Sit in your fucking car and finish the call before you come in.

I noticed he looked around from time to time. My take was this was not seeing if he was bothering anyone. It was more like he was making sure people noticed he was such an important jackoff because he was on a conference call in a strip club. Over time the seats around him emptied and he actually started walking around and talking. It was probably unconscious, but it was like somewhere deep down if he could not annoy people sitting in one place any more he would walk over to where they were and annoy them.

He was obviously annoying people, obviously not tipping or otherwise partaking and even being rude to dancers. No one that I could tell ever did anything about it. Not the bartender (from whom he was buying nothing) or any of the floor staff. Should the club have done anything? I don't know the context. For all I know he owned the joint or was good for dropping a grand when he got off the phone.
