So yesterday I ended the day at a customer in DC and there is an attractive flirty woman in her early forties who I have dealt with a long time. She asks me what I am doing for dinner since it is already 5pm and I am still in the city. I told her probably wait till I get home to eat. She asks if I will go to Georgetown and eat with her at a trendy little place that she described. She is single and has tried to get me out to dinner in the past, but never worked out. I agree to go.
We get seated and order drinks and she hollers "hey you!" at the waitress half way across the room to come over. I kind of cringe and everyone looks, but I don't think much about it. Through the meal she does this again three more times. The waitress kind of glares at her but I say nothing. This is a woman who knows better and is a partner in a well known law firm. I don't expect her to act like this.
Then, it gets even better. I am trying to eat wings and she tells me I have bad manners because I have my elbows on the table! I just kind of lost it and said it was no worse than hollering hey you to get the waitresses attention. She doesn't see the humor in that and it got real quiet. After dinner when leaving she tells me she had fun, and asks if I did. I told her "oh it was interesting" and hopped in my truck and left.
Just another one of those deals where I walk away wondering how people can be critical of others when they are guilty of the same bad behavior. Guess I need to stick to the redneck women with bad manners. Lol.

Ehhh. I wouldn't waste too my time or energy with this one.
If she is disrespectful to the waitress she will eventually be the same with you.
Her elbows comment was the first test to see if you had any cahones.
You did a great job of calling her out on her b.s. She probably doesn't meet many men willing to do that.
...This is a woman who knows better and is a partner in a well known law firm.
This is normal behavior for a person who makes their living arguing cases. Most lawyers I have met can be rude and aggressive, not necessarily at all times, but certainly when it suits their purpose.

You should not be put off by this.
Sorry. I know plenty of attorneys. Almost without exception, they have rather good social skills. They have to.
And the 'suits their purpose' has nothing to do with a social setting such as a dinner date in a restaurant.
Back to the OP. Your instincts are right. Because if that's how she's treating your server, that's how she's going to be treating you in six months.

Oh I am def not interested. I dated a cool lawyer years ago. This one is just rude and thinks she is someone important. Well, actually she is, but it doesn't impress old rednecky me. Lol.
Pointing out someone's rude table manners is also rude. I can't stand people who are jerks to service workers.
