I was in Starbucks last tuesday as I am also sitting here this morning, trying to do homework and I had to put in my headphones and listen to music on my phone just to drown out the idiot who was apparently using our local Starbucks as his private office. He kept taking (or making?) phone calls, loudly, about "business" matters, and acquisitions and mergers and money and what made it horrible and almost unbearable, was that he would get up and PACE AROUND THE COFFEE SHOP!!! all while talking all about his personal biz for all the place to hear! GEEZ! Good one Stef, good one! Tell Shane I will join right in with you guys next time if I ever get to be a part of your funny night out!!! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15419747828175398701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4298352604634075064.post-6497951436872304612014-04-14T17:36:54.925-07:002014-04-14T17:36:54.925-07:00Yep!

Shane's braver than me, so he will say stuff that's hilarious, which they could have heard if they'd been listening, but they were too busy listening to themselves talk. <br /><br />Since we couldn't carry on a meaningful conversation...it seemed only fair to join theirs, lol. ;)<br /><br />Seriously, at one point I *almost* asked to be moved to another table.
