People Watching
I don’t generally people watch, but the other day I was at a local mall standing in line for my Tim Horton’s coffee (Ontario’s favourite coffee place) and a young couple standing behind me started to discuss another couple standing behind the glass doors of the entryway.
The behind glass door couple were looking at various purchases the girl had bought. She took out each garment and held it up to her for the guy with her to see. As she did, the couple behind me would make remarks pretending to be the girl holding up the item to her guy. The imagined conversation went like this:
She: “Isn’t it so cute! And it was on sale.”
He: “Ya, it’s really nice, I like it” as he thinks to himself “I really don’t care, can we go eat now?”
The couple behind me went on like this with the pretend conversation for a few minutes, changing their voices to mimic the glass door couple. I could hardly keep from laughing out loud and it certainly made my time in line pass quickly.
