The Obsessive Coffee Lover
At the coffee shop, I overheard a guy explaining his “coffee philosophy” to a girl on what appeared to be a first date. He said, “I don’t just drink coffee. I connect with it. Each bean has its own story, and I like to think I’m part of its journey.”
The girl smiled awkwardly and asked, “So… do you like espresso?”
He gasped dramatically, like she had just insulted his ancestors, and said, “Espresso isn’t just a drink. It’s a metaphor for life. Short, intense, and often bitter.”
I’m pretty sure she faked an emergency phone call because five minutes later, she was gone, and he was still lecturing his untouched cappuccino.
