Pioneer Square Starbucks: avoid

[homodachi]

26ish dude, drunk: Hay you wanna trade this PSP for your iPod touch?
Me: No. *hand on iPhone*
Dude: *leans closer* Look it's got a bigger screen!
Me: No.
Dude: ...Oh. Do you wanna hang outside then?
Me: No.
Dude: *shuffles off*

The police are questioning him outside now.

If he'd had a Nintendo DS, he would have been a perfect gentleman. I'm just saying.

What! The DS screen is smaller!

It's not always about the screen size. Sketchy people often prefer Sony products...yes...

You totally shoulda done it!

Dude just wanted you to have a chance to play Patapon!

Man, that pick-up line might've worked at Best Buy, but Starbucks? What was that guy thinking?

If I were in your shoes, I'd say, "Sure," take the PSP first and run. I'm sure he'll stop hitting on strangers after that.

I'm glad that didn't happen at the Laurelthirst!

(Don't you hate running into garrulous drunks at a coffee house, where garrulousness is supposed to be caffeine-related?)

By the way, I just made an interesting typo - I had first typed your website as "holodachi." The odd coincidence is that early today I had been thinking about looking into the details of how holograms work.
