Starbucks Stories.  I spend a lot of time at Starbucks working remotely to get away from the house and get caffeine inspired.  One of the things I notice is that Starbucks is a popular place for first blind dates.  I see a lot of middle aged people carrying on conversations of exploration.   They obviously feel they have a cone of silence around them they seem to totally unaware that anyone close can hear some  painful, wincing conversation.  The best example of a bad example was a couple probably in their 50s. The guy was going on about how lousy his ex-wife was.  (Clue #1 that this was not going to end well).  The woman was very patient.  Then, as if to prove his point, the man said "it's because of her that my two sons are in prison.  Really"  Really?  Did you just say that?  I'm not sure she finished her caramel machiado.  And at that it lasted longer, than this budding relationship did.
