Strange happenings

There are a couple of things I really want to blog about. And no, it can't wait :P

Tonight after badminton I went to eat with a fellow badminton player. (that is a common occurence, by the way :P )

We chose a table, and I left immediately to order my food. When I came back, there was a middle-aged lady (I say lady, but...not for her classiness, okay?) sitting at the table. Facing away from us, watching the TV that was at the coffee shop.

At first I thought, okay, she probably just ordered something for take-away and was waiting for her food. But as we sat there longer, eating...she didn't move away. I was thinking, what on earth did she order? Did she order something or is she waiting for someone? Or is she just here to watch TV? ('cos her eyes were glued to the TV...it could be boredom...or interest!)

Later she got up and left the table. I thought her food was done...but turned out that she had gone to sit at another table (an empty one this time). So I think she really was there to watch TV. lol

But you know, I think there were other empty tables around earlier. I don't know why she didn't sit at one of those...maybe ours was the best spot to watch TV :P

The second anecdote is simpler. We had ordered drinks, and then my friend went off to order his food. Then the drinks arrived...and the guy just walked off without asking for the money. (that has never happened before as far as I can remember) He even came back to a table next to ours to wipe it clean, and I had to ask him "How much?" I kinda wonder...was he waiting for my friend (a guy) to come back before he came asking for the money? -_- (it's true that he usually pays and then I pay him back...)
