    I stopped going to dinner with my wife and her father when he’s in town. We will go to a restaurant and he’ll pull out his laptop and phone and start working, while vaguely listening to what we’re saying

        My wife always brings it up. He’s one of those people who just does his own thing and doesn’t really care about anyone else’s plans or preferences, so that’s another reason I stopped going out with them. It could be a group of 10 and he wants Indian food but everyone else wants Mexican, so he compromises by having us all go to the Indian place… Where he can order his food in an Indian accent to the Indian waiter
