Question from the readers:
Why do some people engage in disruptive behavior while dining out? Recently, I saw news about a woman at Sukiya who posted a video of herself drinking water directly from a pitcher. Although the post seems to have been deleted, the topic is still circulating online. I can’t understand what motivates such behavior.
Reflecting on Disruptive Behavior While Dining Out
The incident with the water pitcher at Sukiya has been making headlines. When I first saw it, I couldn’t help but wonder, “Why would someone do that?”
What causes disruptive behavior in restaurants?
The Desire for Approval
When discussing this with friends, we came to the conclusion that the “desire for approval” is a significant factor. With the rise of social media, opportunities to showcase oneself have increased, leading some people to engage in attention-seeking behavior. Particularly when a striking video goes viral, the urge to be part of that attention may intensify. I remember a time when I went karaoke with friends and tried to stand out by singing a silly song. It garnered laughs at the moment, but looking back, I felt embarrassed. Acting impulsively in the heat of the moment can be risky.
Lack of Education and Common Sense
Additionally, I believe that “education” and “common sense” play important roles. People who prioritize communication and respect for those around them tend to avoid such disruptive actions. I have a friend who is always considerate not to do anything that might upset others, and observing this behavior makes me appreciate the maturity in their approach. My child is gradually learning the importance of valuing those around them, and even during meals out, they seem to think, “How will this affect others?” I feel that this kind of upbringing is crucial.
Conclusion
In the end, disruptive behavior while dining out often seems to stem from a mix of the desire for approval and a lack of common sense. It serves as a reminder for me to be more mindful as well.
