Starducks

You just never know what you're going to find in Starbucks--just beyond the mocha-dopa-frappawhappa-chino.

Along with the laptops, occassional business meetings and baby strollers...every so often, Starbucks attracts the town wierdos.

I realize that wierdo is probably not the most P.C. term [maybe I should say 'socially challenged'?] but I can't think of a better way to put it.

This woman comes into Starbucks alone and loudly annouces her presence. Everyone sitting here is making a strong effort NOT to make eye contact but she keeps on talking anyway.

She goes on to shout that it's too cold in here ["HEY, can you TURN that A/C DoWN?!?!]--that she brings her own coffee for 50 cents b/c it's ridiculous that they would charge you two dollars--that women today are lazy...."They don't want to clean or cook or do nuthin..."

She points out emphatically that she is not lazy [except, maybe in the bathing department] and THEN goes on this whole tirade about how all women are sluts and "sleep with men before they are married" and that "12 year old girls are sleeping around and that if she had a daughter she would KILL her"--and THEN--much more information that anyone here needed...

She shouts, "I'm PURE--62 years OLD and I didn't LIE down for NO ONE!!"

And then she leaves.

Lovely.

How could such a thing occur in Greenwich? LOL Things like this is what makes life so interesting. I always thought people watching to be one of the more entertaining thing to do when bored. Just sitting there observing and wondering what that person is thinking or what drove that person to do what you're seeing.
