An open letter to the two men who sat next to me at Anodyne today:

[janradder]

When having an attorney/client meeting dealing with sensitive subject matter such as felony convictions, resisting arrest, and past drug dealing, might I suggest that a public coffee shop is usually not considered the best place to hold a loud face-to-face meeting. And while I sympathize with the case and hope everything turns out for the best, I really could have done without ever knowing a thing about either of your personal lives. Especially when I was trying to write and, until the two of you sat down, everything had been going well. Unfortunately, as soon as the two of you began your meeting at the table six inches from mine, I was unable to concentrate on my work any more and, consequently, spent a full half-hour plus reading and re-reading the same six or seven sentences. Guys? Next time -- get a room.
