"So you're tutoring a giant white rabbit?"

[muckefuck]

At lunch today, most tables were taken. I wandered around a bit before approaching a woman sitting alone at a four-top. "Mind if I sit here?" I asked. "Actually," she replied, "I'm waiting for someone I'm supposed to be tutoring." I noticed that someone at the next table was gathering his things and went up and asked him if he was leaving. He said yes, so I sat there instead.

Over half-an-hour later, I looked up from my magazine and saw that the woman was still sitting alone. As I stood to go, I said, "You know, I have some imaginary friends from my childhood. Maybe you could fit them into your tutoring schedule, too."

She was not amused.

I am amused.

If she was lying, then she was mad because you caught her out, and nyah to her. But if, as seems slightly more likely to me, she was both stood up by a student and accused of lying by a total stranger, then, well, I wouldn't have been amused either, had I been her.

She could've chosen a deuce instead of a four-top or--better yet, since she didn't have any food with her--someplace else entirely, instead of monopolising a prime table at a peak time.

Didn't you say most of the tables were already taken? Maybe that was what was available when she got there.

monopolising a prime table at a peak time.

Bwa-ha-ha-ha!!! Bite me, law students.

If I were her, I'd have taken you up on your offer.

"Please, tell me all about these friends of yours..."

Well I guess that'd depend on what subjects your imaginary friends were weak at ^_-

Ontology, mostly. And physics.
