    Help please. Business class lounge etiquette

    Posted on behalf of a friend:

    So, I was in a busy lounge at the airport albeit the business class lounge, while you have a couple talking on one side, another couple of guys in front talking business and the person next to you puts the ear phones and starts talking on the phone.
    I noticed a morbidly obese man moving around quite uncomfortably with facial signs of someone suffering from heavy constipation. He was quite violently blowing his nose on people too.

    He was exhibiting various behaviours like:

    (a) Sitting quietly playing drums on his belly and ignoring everyone
    (b) Having a go at people talking in groups
    (c) Interrupting and gobbing off people on the phone.

    He answered his phone and started swearing at some poor guy who was probably asking him for advice on getting a contract. He also swore at someone who was possibly asking him for advice either on buying a sofa, stocks or a BTL. All I could hear were the words 'Fook me'

    How should people in the lounge deal with him? What is the etiquette here?

    point him towards the babycham and wait until he has two glasses. Move away from the snoring.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      My friend says that he was begging for Champagne in business class lounge, when someone took pity on him and bought him a pint of Cobra beer.

        Stop slumming it and get back to the First Class lounge.
        Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

          I imagine he was late to give a telephone interview to some poor soul.
          Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.
