How pathetically fragile an ego has to act like they are on the battlefield claiming a victory in a freaking restaurant?

I think I might have said something along the lines of, "I know I am glad that [REDACTED] removed that pesky FDA! Now, these fine people can serve whatever they want without pesky regulations like not poisoning people or giving them botulism getting in the way!" and then made a quick retching sound before walking out.

(I would have tried to make sure that this was only for those two. I would not have shouted it across the dining area or anything like that. Just for those two.)
