Kid 1: Go away! You're banned from this table!

Kid 2: Yeah? Well you're banned from the universe!

Can't argue with that...

I’m a little bit of a chicken. And by little bit, I mean huge.
Occasionally, I go to a cafe on campus to buy coffee (cos that’s what collegiates do, apparently), and the same woman serves me nearly every time. The exchange goes a little something like this:

Act 1, Scene 1

It is a bright, sunshiny day. Captain is feeling pleasant and motivated to write. All is well with the world. She steps up to the cafe counter to be served.
INCREDIBLY SCRAWNY OLD BIRDLIKE WOMAN WEARING RED LIPSTICK: (silence, staring at Captain)

CAPTAIN: Hi

INCREDIBLY SCRAWNY OLD BIRDLIKE WOMAN WEARING RED LIPSTICK: (still silent, still staring)

CAPTAIN: .....Can I have large flat white please?

Incredibly scrawny old birdlike woman wearing red lipstick holds out her hand, completely silent.

Money exchanges hands, Incredibly scrawny old birdlike woman wearing red lipstick hands Captain her order number.

Incredibly scrawny old birdlike woman wearing red lipstick disappears into the caverns of the cafe.

CAPTAIN: (To no-one) Uh, thanks?

Captain walks off feeling dejected.

Every time this happens I want to stare back, completely silent also, hopefully forcing her to actually speak to me first.

And although I hate this repeated exchange, and feel slightly rejected by the silent food service worker, I never say or do anything about it. Such is the way of the nerd.

I became a fan of Kevin Smith when I saw Mallrats for the first time. Since then I have seen all of his movies at least twice.
