The Rules Of Interaction
So I'm hard at work doing column research at a local coffee shop, my attention focused on a YouTube video of a cigarette-smoking chimpanzee, when a woman at a neighboring table interrupts to ask if I would mind watching her laptop, presumably while she goes to the bathroom.
