Not as exciting as my previous one... and acknowledging that I too could easily appear on one of these for some people, I must say that I am dumbfounded by people's dumbass behavior sometimes.
I was at our friendly neighborhood Starbucks. I was sitting in one of the cushy loungers, after having waited for them to become empty for more than an hour as I read some of my counseling books. They were in a corner, with a table in the middle. I had a book on the table and my bottle of water. At one time, another customer had a coffee, book, and a pastry on the table along with me. That was fine. There was plenty of room for both of us and I definitely was not hogging the table between us. I was there for a long time. The second person to sit in the other cushy chair sat down with a paper to read. After a while, he is ready to leave and puts the paper on the table, on top of my book without any consideration for whose stuff that might be. It is not like I am in pain, it just seemed rude (though not intentional I am sure, he gave me a polite smile as he left) and inconsiderate. Now, I had to deal with his crap to get to mine. At least ask before you do something like that, the paper was not a big deal, it was the dumbass behavior. I am sure I had a slightly WTF look on my face as I smiled back, but I was shocked at the lack of awareness displayed by this other person.
So.... Literate, Clueless, Current Affair reading man, who tried to put a cover on my day :) Mind your own BUSINESS SECTION! This Bird's for YOU!
