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.

The Fifth Sense.

An incredibly perceptive child, roughly nine yeas of age, walked into Starbucks with his mother and said this…

“It smells like coffee in here.”

Like a good mother, she chose not to dignify his statement with a response.  Also, he might have had aspergers.

Hopefully something coffee related...
