JGOB- Saturday morning

[puppyinacup]

So... there'd been some drama over at the old JGOB this morning.

All Jess had wanted was to get some coffee and maybe an eclair, and to be a generally friendly person, because that's what she was. And making eye contact was polite. How was she supposed to know that if she did that, the clerk would pass out behind the counter? And then with

James walked into JGOB, angry and wearing tall heeled shoes. Which was probably part of the reason he was angry. Probably the other part was because he walked in instead of just making with the, you know, PEW.

After ordering a bagel and coffee, he finally realized that people were glaring at someone who wasn't him for once. So of course he strutted over - shut up - to find out why. "What'd you do to piss these guys off so much?" he asked, sitting down at the table. He assumed he was welcome.

Jess quickly looked down at the table, and spent a few seconds wondering if enough time looking at it would do anything to the table. How did this work? Why was there no instruction manual?

"I don't know, I just ordered breakfast! And maybe rendered a guy unconscious but it was totally an accident," she told the table.

For Mindy, the first sign that something was up today should have been that she walked right into a table leg and didn't trip. She was oblivious, though.

"Maybe that table should be moved somewhere a little less, um, centrally-located," she suggested brightly and passive aggressively to the staff at the counter. Then as she caught sight of their facial expressions, she said, "Whoa. Some group of people woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning."

"I knocked a guy out with my face. It's a thing," Jess said, sounding resigned with one hand over her eyes and her face pointed at her table, safely.

"Whoa, like a head-butt?" Mindy was intrigued. "Or like, 'damn, girl, your face is so hot I'm gonna keel over and risk a concussion'?"

Her impression of a melodramatic pick-up line-delivering guy was fairly impressive.

"I paid and said thank you and looked at him and bam, everybody's checking his airways," Jess sighed. At the table.
