Why do people go to coffee houses and reads books or use their computers or write in journals? You can tell by looking at them they have homes. Why don’t they stay home and that stuff there? Who wakes up and says “I’m going to read today and I want everyone who buys coffee in my neighborhood to see me!” I mean you’re not fooling anyone. Whether you read Kafka at home or at Starbucks, I still don’t believe you understand him. I don’t care how new your laptop is, I don’t have one and I hate you because you do. Writing in a notebook? Really? Longhand? Please, don’t think you can publish that. The spiral part of your notebook will never fit into a scanner. So do me a favor; do all your reading, all your computer using and all your journal writing at home—where it’s suppose to be done.
(It’s okay if you spend your lunch hour or your break reading, using your computer or writing at a coffee house. But if you could wear a sign explain as much that would be great. It will prevent me from getting upset.)
