So what would YOU do with a loudmouth in a restaurant
Hey guys--here's the deal: I frequent the local Big Boy family restaurant for breakfast nearly everyday.
Two... ahem... "gentlemen" love to sit in the middle of the dining room and run their trucking business from the breakfast table while they gorge themselves from the buffet. All the while they're using those annoying Nextels that beep or chirp after/before a call and they talk as if there's no one around. This will go on for an hour or so.
Then there's the would-be sales Rep running his business from his table in the garden room on the other side being loud and abnoxious too on his phone.
The waitstaff and manager won't or can't say anything to these "gentlemen".
So what would you do? And be honest.

Well...I did like any other self-respecting, well-mannered, civilized person would do:
First I told the waitress to say something to them, to which she indignantly replied that "they were running their business from there (and had the right to do so. HA!)
Not being one to stand down (plus, I sized up their enormous sizes and KNEW I could outrun them should push come to...um...squash).
I gave the first guy---the sales rep with the computer an ass chewing about being so loud. He, as was expected was not embarassed, and forced out "oh, sorry", but did keep it down the rest of stay.
The two mothatruckers, the enomo-twins, I lit into them both telling them they pull this crap being loud everyday and was tired of. The bigger one wanted to know WHO I was telling them to pipe down. To which I replied "I'm a PAYING CUSTOMER"--which was their response. The shortone quietly but firmly says "KISS MY A__". I followed with "F___ YOU". The big one told shorty to knock it off, and I walked away with a gratuitous "a__holes". I went back to my seat on the other side of the place finished my breakfast, and didn't hear a word from them. As they were standing up to leave both got calls about the same time, took them out of their shirt pockets to see who it was and didn't answer either call.
My waitress avoided me as did the others. And since then the jovial tone with the waqitstaff and even the manager who wasn't there at the time has been less friendly. I have been going there earlier to avoid any hassles, but I'm sure we will cross paths soon.
Would I do it again? Yep. Maybe they'll think twice next time, eh? NOT.

I understand where you're coming from--I choose my fights carefully. These two characters I was dealing with can barely walk let alone run. 
Update: Apparently the waitresses have told them about being on the phones too but they refused to do anything about it. I have since seen these two and they were not on their phones--not once. The several waitresses I spoke to gave me a high-five and thought it was great I stepped up to these jerks.
The manager who turns out to be an owner too avoids me like the plague. I hear he hates confrontation on any level. Too bad--lemme handle it then.
To my mind, like the jerks you encountered, they're banking on the fact that no one will say anything to them.
And you see this sort of behavior with a___holes driving like idiots--cutting you off, no signals, running stop signs.
Enough is enough

Cutter I decided to confront them because I knew the manager who is part owner, doesn't have a backbone.
Oddly, writing letters or making calls just doesn't have the weight it used to.
Update: I saw the "gordo twins" today at dinner (man! I eat there a lot--of course having a cutie for a waitress makes it easier to swallow--pun intended). We exchanged glances and I didn't hear the phone once.
