“Sheesh, things are not going too well” Elizabeth thinks to herself. Yes, just keep smiling and nodding, the story about your dog’s gynecological problems is definitely not what I want to be listening to while waiting for my pasta carbonara. When is this going to end? Maybe I can quickly text Carol to give me a quick call with an emergency? Anything to get out of here.” “Oh really, Bob I am so so...

Was it due to the cold or are you not in the fold to have proper manners?

No hello, or a knock?
