My name is Brad. I am a writer, I am awkward in social situations, and I spend a lot of time in coffee shops trying to escape all of the terribly distracting things I find at home (video games, movies, tv, cats, comics, vitamin water, robots, etc.). I rotate amongst local coffee shops throughout the week so that no single location becomes too familiar with my presence. Spending any appreciable amount of time in one place is bound to make you privy to the occasional odd situation, but I have come to believe that coffee shops are breeding grounds for weird. The following is my account of the wonderfully weird and horribly awkward situations I have encountered.

Don’t Drink and Drive.

I recently discovered my car had been sideswiped.  Not horrible, but a few nice long scrapes in the rear passanger quarter panel.  It is clear that someone cut it to hard when pulling out of thier parking spot next to mine.   It also goes for about two feet or so, thus the person obviously realized they had hit my car, but figured they might as well keep going instead of, you know, readjusting.

The best part?  The person that hit my car obviously knew how much I hated reading, thus decided not to leave a not.  Thanks.  Having to read would have been the bummer icing on the damnit cake.

I’m not sure which Starbucks this happened at because I didn’t notice it right away, but I’m about 95% sure it did happen at Starbucks.

Hopefully something coffee related...
