Drabble by Kevin Fagan for January 02, 2025

Maybe you should go to a place that’s about the coffee and not the wi-fi speeds.

Social media inn?

It’s not much different from watching the morning news on TV during breakfast.

A 2 story coffee house….And everyone in town decided to buy the same car.

I wasn’t really surprised when some restaurants started putting time limits on customer visits. It was either that or get rid of the free Wi-Fi provided as a perk of patronage. Some of their freeloading customers stretching out their visits with only one coffee purchase were probably starting to take root.

Saw a local news report about people outside at an ice cream place eating ice cream. Everyone was on their phones.

Ah yes, new year, so time to recycle the old boomer humor punchline.

Until my eyes focused, I saw “Lard Land” & thought it was a donut shop! Same joke though!

My in-laws are Spanish, so before the days of free roaming (when browsing the internet on your phone would cost half the Earth) we would go to a local bar that had free wi-fi to partake of the web. The home we stayed at (my mother-in-law’s) had no internet. So I completely understand why someone would go to a bar or cafeteria for the wifi.

If everyone would stop complaining about people being on their phones, you’d notice that everyone there has the same car…

Our four mutts ensure I get up and walk a bit every hour or whenever a squirrel enters the back yard. I’d install a dog door, but that requires replacing the door first, too much window.

Funny.

Drabble has zombieance, Agnes has ambiance.

I use Data with my phone, when the WiFi is turned on, it stalls out and takes forever to download anything.

wonder what they’d do if the wi-fi turns off. :D

I’m soooo going to use this word

…and a new word for a coffee shop is born…

“Braaains. Nope, not this Site. Maybe this App. Braaains? Nope…” ☺

It’s worth noting that everyone has a worried look. Seems about right.

Way back when, I used to do basically the same thing, only with a book and a walkman (when they arrived). Of course, I only did that dining alone.

Looks like they all drive Teslas too.

That’s how they communicate with each other.

only a fool uses free wifi anymore

Electronic pacifiers.

Looks like everyone drives the same red car!

Earlier today I had to go to the sporting goods store in the mall, when I went in from the parking lot I saw the same thing there.
