Over My Shoulder

Tweet

**Rant** Everytime I go to spend time Starbucks with my tablet. I always try to find a corner or wall to sit against. One reason is so I know what's in front of me and the other reason, the main reason, is that I hate it when I can see the reflection of people on my screen looking over my shoulder to see what it is im doing or viewing on my tablet. I can see their curious gaze on my screen as they walk by and the eyes wander to the side to take a quick glance at what i'm watching. A lot of times just the passing by of the shadows of people is enough to bother me. Even with my headphones on I sometimes get a tap on my shoulder and the person will ask me a question about what im seeing. "Is that happening now?" "Where is it at?" "Is the show any good?" The worse is when they try to start a conversation with me and go about it as if I personally know them. "Oh! Wait till you see the end! It's a great twist!" "Have you ever been there? I have and it's great!" "Did you vote for him?" I just answer them with a short and to the point answer. Hoping that they will get the idea that im not much of a conversationist and move on about their day. It usually works. I don't mean to come off as a douch# but when i'm there alone, I just want to be left alone. It's my get away from home so let me get away. I mind my own business, mind yours. Unless the place is on fire, natural disaster occuring or starbucks ran out of coffee, don't bother me. Photograph- Taken/Owned by me, Plethos
