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.

Afternoon Delight.

It’s the holiday season, and that means Starbucks has seasonal egg nog.  While standing in line, a woman behind me muttered to her friend…

“I wish they’d put some rum in that for me.”

I chuckled because I thought it was just a funny comment.  She took my chuckle to mean that she needed to justify her afternoon drinking desire to me.

“Oh, well, I just locked my keys in my car.”

I guess that’s as good a reason as any, and she wouldn’t have been drinking and driving.

Hopefully something coffee related...
