Watching a couple argue in public can be an awkward moment.
But this furious man was so angry with his dinner date he decided to build a wall using menus to
block out the girl he was with who can be seen playing on her mobile phone.
The amusing photo was snapped by software designer Adam Howell in the restaurant Olive Garden, in Pineville, North Carolina, who then posted the image on Twitter.

'He wasn't apologising or anything, it was just something that happened.'
