I Don't Talk to Strangers!

So Michael and I went out for coffee and to work on his budget. We had to leave the house because we're selling it and someone was coming to look at it. The library has a nifty coffee spot that we hadn't been to before. We settled into a nice lonely corner on a comfy couch after ordering our coffees. Not more than 5 minutes after I took my first sip, this girl and her daughter sit down at the couch across from us. (I say "girl" because she looks about 16) The girl proceeds to take out painting tubes for her daughter to use. It's the little girl's first time using these and they seem to be having quite a bit of trouble. Then, who I guess to be the little girl's father comes in and sits on the chair next to our couch. There was plenty of room on the couch with the mom and child. Next he sees that we have our computer open and asks if there is wi-fi available. Michael says yes. Then there are more problems with the paint and the little girl. Then the father debates whether he should get his laptop in the car. He goes and gets it and then he can't connect and asks us if we're still connected.
"Yes we are."
"How many bars?"
"Fully connected, no problems."

Then he asks if he can take the side table that Michael has his coffee on. Yes, just to keep you from talking to us anymore. Then the mom complains that the paper they made their little painting on tore in half. Then the father is ass and says something snotty. Then the little girl starts wailing. Then the father complains again about his wi-fi connection.

TIME TO EXIT!!!

There was a whole coffee cafe to use and they chose to surround us with their dysfunctional bullshit! The only benefit to all this is that the coffee place was training new staff and kept bringing us free samples!
