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.

So, By… Gayness Then?

I overheard a Man who was, I believe, making the transition from digital to analog with a new friend that he met online…

Analog Man: “Well, you said there are some pictures that you look better in than in person… I happen to look better in some pictures than I do in person. You’d laugh and say, “you never looked like that!” My own mother says that!”

Some mundane conversation passed, then…

Analog Man: “Fort Lauderdale? I hear it’s one of the gayest places in America, so congratulations. No, not percentage wise.”

Hopefully something coffee related...
