I had brunch with a friend the other day. We went to a place that has outdoor seating, but no ‘barriers’ around it.
She went inside to check on our order, and I noticed a somewhat raggedy man walking into the area. I watched him because my friend left her wallet on the table.
He walked up and said, “Is now a good time to join you?”
I said no. He noticed the items on the table (and her sweater on the back of the chair) and said, “Oh, yeah, I see you have somebody already joining you.”
And then he strolled away.
