Lunch 9 Jan 09

I went for lunch at a coffee-shop nearby with 3 other colleagues. We sat on a table for 6. An elderly man asked if the remaining 2 seats are taken. We said no and he can have the seat. Afterwhich, he sat down and waited for his friend.

Another group of working class came to occupy the table next to us. As they were lacking 1 chair, one of the group member asked me:

Person A: Is this seat taken?

Me: Yes.

Person A tried to pull the chair towards their table. I stopped her and tell her that the seat is taken and she cant take it.

I wondered if she understand what she was asking. Another reason could be that she is too hungry. :P
