Third and Close to Cherry
So today for lunch I go to Cherry Street Cafe on Third Avenue. I secure an outside table and a fresh copy of Seattle Weekly. There I am, set up for my lunch break in the sun, when these people sit down next to me and start talking loudly. (D’s pet peeve numero uno.)
Okay, you're going, “So? Deal with it!” Except that this has happened twice at this exact location!
The first time it was two guys in almost identical blue, pinstriped shirts, mostly just complaining, and mostly about their wives.
Today these two young dudes on a smoke break from someplace are talking so fast and so loud they can't even hear each other. But I can. Weekend plans, name dropping. And there I am, focusing to get through stories that start like “Lauren Weedman calls from prison.”
There is one redeeming quality of this cafe. It is located next to a tiny sandwich place that has very nice Asian people working there. This one lady always remembers that I don’t need a paper bag. And once she even gave me a free bag of Fritos.
Free Fritos. Sure, I don’t eat Fritos, but still.
