The Nutter in the Coffee Shop

There are nutters everywhere. Most people never notice them because they never bother them.

However, some of us find that they exert some kind of natural magnetism that attracts them to come over and ruin our day.

 

Yesterday, I was working in Kinko's copy shop and in came a nutter. I could tell he was a nutter right away- He was 7 feet tall with a long beard brandishing half a dozen carrier bags of "stuff". "Wow look at all these computer types. Cool." he proclaimed to anyone who would listen. No one wanted to listen. It was as if each person exuded and negative energy field, attempting to repel the nutter. All except me since I was on the phone at the time.

He sat down beside me and talked loudly about how he had saved the lady over there 6 cents a copy, completely ignoring that fact that I was talking to my manager at the time.

 

Luckily this nutter had a weak bladder and the minute he headed for the toilet I grabbed my laptop and did a runner.

 

This morning I am sitting in Starbucks for a cup of coffee and some time to clear down my email while the traffic cleared down around me. 10 minutes after sitting down, up pops the same nutter and sits down beside me. "Wow you've got the same laptop as me. What's going on with the weather? I've hardly slept for days....."

Sigh!

 

Luckily he has gone to the toilet again, so I'll finish this email and do a runner.
