This just happened.

[SCENE: outside at Starbucks. All tables taken by one person, plenty of seats.]

Me: Do you mind if I sit here?

Man in TD shirt: [waves at chair]

Me:: Do you mind if I smoke?

TD: No, that I can’t take. [starts to get up]

Me: No! Don’t get up, I’ll just sit somewhere else.

[TD man carries his chair to where four empty chairs are already located, and sits next to the only other guy smoking.]

I just don’t get it.
