Watching a couple on what appears to be a terrible first coffee date at the table next to me. Dude is every precious self-involved writer.

— Anne Thériault (@anne_theriault) July 3, 2015She keeps politely asking him questions. Not once has he asked her about herself.
Wait he just asked if she'd ever dated a writer wtf
— Anne Thériault (@anne_theriault) July 3, 2015He's now complaining about the "body" of the coffee, telling her he knows a place that doesn't over-roast their beans.

— Anne Thériault (@anne_theriault) July 3, 2015Girl just looked at her phone in feigned surprise. "Oh weird, I have a text from my mom." I just snorted audibly, turned it into fake cough
— Anne Thériault (@anne_theriault) July 3, 2015Girl: "yeah, she's, uh, worried she left her stove on. she's in a meeting and can't go home. I'd better go check for her."
— Anne Thériault (@anne_theriault) July 3, 2015Dude: do you want to go and come back?
Girl: It's pretty far. Maybe we can do this again next week? I'll text you.
OUT THE DOOR LIKE A SHOT
