[Misc] What would you do?

[Bozza]

 

[Muzzman]

My first and initial reaction would be to laugh, I'd stay at the table.

This.

“Lol no”

 

[schmunk]

"f*** off" is surely the only sensible response?

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I’d say: "Yer 'avin' a larf, incha?" and continue scrolling through NSC on my iPad.

 

[Badger]

I'd order another coffee.

 

[FatSuperman]

I'd order another coffee.

I'd say 'I'm staying, but I'll be quiet. I'd offer to buy them a coffee'. I'd then order two coffees, a toasted sandwich, a cake and three cookies to take home for the kids for later, whilst pointing to them saying they would pick up the bill before they left.

"Sea Bass and the guys offered to pick up the tab..."

 

[Brok]

What's Seinfeld?

 

[banjo]

Nothing. I don’t like coffee.

 

[jcdenton08]

What's Seinfeld?

And what’s the deal with Seinfeld, surely?

 

[BBassic]

Stay at the table, wait for this meeting to start and then have an obnoxiously loud phone call to a fake GP about that rash that just won't go away.

 

[Insel affe]

I smell bullshite, for the sake of a look at me moment on twatter or whatever.

1: Usually you would sit opposite someone at a coffee shop, your laptop would be facing towards the person using it, so no issue.

just had a quick look at her profile, she/her describe themselves as
Independent designer, writer, trend spotter, & casual archivist (she/her).

So bullshite story, never happened and even if it did, you tell them to pay me for the inconvenience (which they wont) or feck off.

Is trend spotter a thing ?
I could do that, although I would have change work locations, I fear Lancing could hold me back in my new career.

Shall I put you in the "stay" column?

 

[hart's shirt]

I would ask to share their meeting, then ask them to leave the meeting because I have a table.

 

[ozzygull]

I would stay in my seat and give them a look of such distain it would sour their coffee.

Not just sensible, It’s the appropriate response.

 

[Stato]

What's Seinfeld?

You've never seen Seinfeld?! Start with 'The Contest.'

 

[jcdenton08]

You've never seen Seinfeld?! Start with 'The Contest.'

I’m master of my domain

 

[Hamilton]

I'd join the meeting.

Well, like a lot of stories, including, ahem, ones I tell sometimes, it probably started off as true. I've been joined at a table in a crowded Costa by someone who very politely asked me if I minded them joining a work Zoom call. I said no, and they joined their call, barely saying anything on it. Looking back on it, I might have mused to myself what if they'd spread a load of papers across the table and were speaking loudly, possibly to encourage me to leave. That's how plenty of anecdotes start life, as exaggerations of the truth.
