The man at the head of the line was gathering his cheeseburger and his tea from off the counter when he exploded at the man behind him.
"Couldja get a little closer to me? Couldja? Couldja get a little closer to me? Couldja get a little closer to me!?"
The other man protested mutely, giving a little shrug.
The first man stepped over to the coffee station now, hanging his teabag to drip into the cup.
"Fuck!" he shouted.
I watched him impassively. For a moment our eyes met and it appeared he was appealing for sympathy. He turned away quickly when none was forthcoming.
"Shit," he said, shaking his head and stirring his tea. "There's some weird-ass motherfuckers in this library."
I thought it was all over when again he bounded over to his foe.
"Two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time!" he cried. "S'physics! S'physics 101!"
