I think it may be part of being a failed actor... or it could just be me being really nebby. I love sitting in the front window of say... Starbucks on 6th and Penn with my sunglasses on, staring at people as they walk by. I like captioning their lives in my head, creating conversations between them. I enjoy letting my mind wander to where they're going, who they're going to see and why they're in such a big hurry.
Yeah, peopleofwalmart.com is my kind of website. But that's pretty much just because I'm a bastard.
Anyway, I had actually ventured out of downtown and onto McKnight(mare) Road two days ago (hard to believe and yet so true). I found myself at Starbucks, ordering a grande dark cherry mocha while the boyfriend got his hair cut at Anthony's. While I waited, I decided to busy myself with the task of loading my Starbucks Gold Card and figuring out my starbucks.com info so I could access my complimentary WiFi.
My life is so interesting.
Enjoying my DCM (that's a DARK CHERRY MOCHA for you non Starbucks people), I finally looked up and started noticing the Yinzers around me. There was a group of giggly 16 year old girls surrounding the coffee table to my right that encouraged me to mentally draw up the pros and cons of having to be a legal age to consume caffeine. There was a yuppie 48ish man with a Richard Gear complex to my left that got annoyed with me talking loudly about Foursquare.com and decided to have, to my amazement, a giant hissy fit. He actually ended his phone call, stormed outside and glared at me through the window.
I am rarely so pleased with myself.
Grinning like a jackass, I noticed another gentleman enjoying the misty Pittsburgh air between light afternoon rains:
Its almost too easy.
"Ohmigawd, I'm so glad I got out of the garage early today to have enough time to stop by and get a Soy Cinnamon Dulce Latte Extra Hawt! All that oil on the floor was giving me a real headache! Yuck! Speaking of Hawt... oh hello Mr Man over there running without a shirt on! Yoohoo!"
Got a caption? Leave a comment.
"Hipsters ruin everything."
ReplyDelete"Look at the buns on that one, he must work out, I can't stop staring"
ReplyDeleteI have been at that Starbucks a million times... also used to get the wig trimmed at Anthony's, but I stopped going there when Anthony did... hate the annoying chicks he has working there now. It is a freaking BARBER SHOP... I should have to deal with some chuckle head eating Andy Cap Hot Fries while trying to get a hair cut... that is true by the way... Andy Cap Hot Fries, red fingers and all, while my hair was being cut...
ReplyDeleteAs for the caption... "Social D cover band... I... CAN'T... QUIT... YOU!"
Shouldn't... not should. My white hot anger kept me from typing that correctly...
ReplyDeleteBrian,
ReplyDeleteI actually didn't get your reference to "Social D" so I had to enlist my boyfriend to fill me in. When I google image searched them, I decided that wooooow! You are soooo right. Holy crap! lmao
