Ahmed and I sit at a table with 4 chairs that's between two other tables:  1 table of two older white men, late 40's+, with 3 chairs, and the other table of 2 younger asian guys with 2 chairs.


Old guys leave their table to get drinks.

Ahmed and I just chill at our table.

Asian guys' 2 girl friends meet up with them.  Asian Girl asked for one of our chairs.  One of the Asian guys takes a chair from the OLD guys' table.

Ahmed leaves to use restroom; I chill by myself, playing with my cup sitting in relaxed position with my feet up on the other chair.


Old Man with white parted bangs returns to his table, then immediately approaches me.  "Did you take my chair?  I know you took my chair."  He grabs onto the chair and starts pulling even with my feet still propped up.

With feet up, I calmly replied, "No.  I did not take your chair."

Persistent Old Man retorts sternly, "YES, you did!  I SAW you take it!"  He continues to attempt to take the chair.  "We have a lady friend who will be joining us.  We need the chair."  He says this even though there were other chairs available.

With a look of disbelief and a hint of annoyance, I replied, "No.  I did not take your chair, but I can give you this chair since I'm not really using it."  I take off my feet.

The Old Man takes it without thinking twice.

The Old Man's Friend returns to table.  Old Man tells friend, "I was able to get back our chair that was taken from us."  He continues on...  BLAH BLAH BLAH...

I turned around and just sit there still in disbelief of how rude this OLD GEEZER is, and I think "Wow...  Seriously?!?  Did that just happened?"  I get even more annoyed...  "He didn't even smile or give any response of gratitude."  And I hella repeat in my head...  "WHAT a DOUCHE!"

Old Man gets up to get sugar/napkins/whatever, and I give him real good stares of "Are you kidding me?" annoyance in hopes that he'll catch my drift.  Though, no eye contact reached.

I sit there, back turned to them, a bit grumbling to myself, "They are just inconsiderate, weird, socially awkward people without manners.  Coffee shops unfortunately tend to attract weird people..."  =___<

5+ minutes pass, and the OLD Man surprisingly comes up to me, "I apologize."  He further explains, "It was the other guy who must have taken the chair."  He points to the Asian table.

I responded with a short, kinda 'I told you so, Duh' "Yeah~."  I hysterically think, "Wow, sad.  The whole all Asians look alike must be true."  XD

Ahmed returns and asks, "What.  Why are you smiling?"

I reply with a content smile, "Nothing."  :D

"he he he  Paul:  1, Geezer:  0."

hahahah  XD

i try to accommodate a lot because i think it's practical.

i try to be practical.

i try to please all.

i try to spend time with everyone.

i try.

i try.

i try.

i'm sorry if it doesn't work out, as it unfortunately happens a lot with me.  (no more empty promises.)

many apologies in advanced.  (something i should learn to stop doing.)

accept it.

am i selfless, or am i selfish?

correct me if i'm wrong.

thanks.

another way to tell that i'm fat is that i like to splurge on fine dining or eat out a lot to try new things.  X)

i need to go back to the poor college student spending/eating habits.  -___-

also, on a side note:  i need to speak my mind MORE.

otherwise, we will go NOwhere, e.g. people getting frustrated on deciding what to eat for lunch, or ending up sleeping while your friend just does his own thing and not really spending quality time.
