So, I'm sitting in my favorite coffee shop on the best college campus in the world, happily sipping hot chocolate. You might be thinking, coffee shop....saturday night.....um, lame? But I'm telling you, there is no better place to practice God's best gift to mankind - people-watching.
Now, granted, I don't mean creeping. Creeping is creepy no matter which way you turn it - like that girl in the tree in the new cell phone commercial. People-watching is different altogether. It's a test of observance; for example, who can find the most interesting person, or the tallest, etc.
For those that have people-watched in the past, you probably understand where I'm coming from on this. College campuses, malls, and the pool are other great places to people-watch. However, I think coffee shops trump them all.
You get your regular creepers and strange-o's, like the guy who just came in and ordered coffee, danced around while he decided whether or not to order a slice of pie, and then introduced himself to me before he paid. Sir, I'm a customer too. I don't need to know your name. But, given that I'm a relatively polite person I accepted the introduction and smiled.
Okay. So besides the regular creepers and strange people that come through on a nightly basis, there are quite a few hunks at coffee shops. The kind of guys that make you double-take from your laptop, and are so oblivious to their own attractiveness. The kind with smiles that will make you melt right off your chair.
Have you ever been people-watching? What's the best or strangest encounter you've ever had?
