re: Just met les miles

A few weeks ago, I saw Les and his wife at Bonefish Grill. They sat in a booth between the kitchen and the bathroom.
Les sat across from his wife, and sometimes sat with his back to the wall--anyone could get a full view of him looking his way.
He and his wife talked the whole time, but no one approached him until near the end of the meal, where two women who had a child waved at Les from a few tables away when they were leaving.

It just seemed sad.

i don't get what is sad about this. les and his wife went on a date. everyone in the restaurant weren't assholes didn't bother him until the date was near its end. Sad!

Seriously - i've been in restaurants before when coaches come in. People gawk (like you did) but they don't rush them like they're the fricking Beatles.

Les drinking alone at the bar would have been sad - this just seems like a normal encounter.
