I turn into Adrian Monk at restaurants.  Germs, Disease, and Death on
all the surfaces, chairs, menus, salt + pepper shakers, food.  Must be
a bummer trying to use a credit card without mystery charges.  A lot
of restaurants must believe everyone is deaf based on the progressive
increase in background music like a secret army concussion wave
weapon.  Drives me nuttier to sit next to someone and curl my hand by
my ear just to hear chit chat.  Stay off my lawn you whipper snappers!
