All fine on the 29

  Bus driver: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are now approaching Camden Town. It's gonna be crowded, so I'm going to advise you to stay away from the doors unless you're getting off.

Of course, there's going to be some people on this bus who don't speak English.

And it's going to be them. Who. Are. In. Your. Way."

Table Hogs

  Daddy's girl 1: "oh I know! the queue was just AWFUL! I know we could have like, booked but people were totally table hogging"

Daddy's Girl 2: "Yea they were, there was a huge queue out the door, and it was freezing and everyone was totally table hogging even though they could sooo see the queue outside. Selfish."

Level minded boy: "So why didnt you book?"

Daddy's Girl 1 interrupting: "And you know what else annoys me?! When people go out for dinner alone. I mean like, HELLO?! YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS GO HOME AND EAT ALONE!DONT HOG TABLES!"

(daddy's girl 1 sheepishly looks around to realize that half the people in the small coffee shop are sitting at tables, and looking up from their papers to stare at her)

Daddy's Girl 1- very quietly and embarrassed: "well obviously its different in coffee shops cause, you know."
