Kafe with...out Koffee

Everyone has one of  these days occasionally. Bored, jobless, nothing to do, no movies to watch, no new TV shows out, no games to play; u get the drift.... And then you decide to go out with friends and hang out in a "cool" place like CCD or Mochas or the like. Well it could be friends, a friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, cousins or whoever is free and fun to spend time with.

Now, everyone reaches expecting to spend some time having fun in a nice cosy place, with soft music playing, and the smell of coffee and cakes adrift in the air. It isn't a gathering to celebrate something, but just to randomly hang out and chit-chat. So no one's thinking of ordering a lot. Maybe a drink each just so you wouldn't be sitting in there without ordering anything and giving the staff a good reason to kick you out.

Now imagine that you are in a group of 4, and all order a drink. Hot coffee, Blackcurrant blast, Devil's Own, Toblerone Shake. All drinks are brought together and put in front of you. As one person speaks others listen while sipping on their drinks and it goes on, until you realize that in almost half an hour all of you are almost finished with your drinks. You realize, you cant sit there another 2 hours without ordering anything. The waiter will simply bring the bill, implying subtly, that you need to go!!

Well, worry not. Here are a few useful tips...

• Keep sipping from your glass occasionally. Doesn't matter if its empty. Just make the right gulping actions.
• Add imaginary sugar from an empty sachet into an empty coffee mug, and pretend to stir it with your spoon.
  
• One person keep an eye out for those waiters, and always sip your imaginary drink while looking at them.
• Compliment the cafe you are in, amongst yourselves, loud enough for passing waiters to hear.

And last but not least,

• Please don't all of u stir, or all of u sip at the same time while looking at the waiter. Act normal people!!

Credit for the material goes to my cousin Prerana who made my stomach ache by enacting these and many other humorous ways to prevent the waiter from bringing us our bill.
