Found this on my hard-drive. It refers to an incident earlier this year in a library in the world’s biggest country town (pop 1.1m)
On this occasion two white women, but next time it might be some polka-dotted intersex folks, for all I care. And I will give them five minutes, as I did this pair, and walk over and the conversation will go like it did on this occasion-
“Can you get a meeting room? I can hear you all the way down there.”(gestures)
“We’ll move elsewhere”
“Then you’ll be doing it to someone else. But that’ll be their problem, not mine.”WTF? Since when do you have conversations in the library, when there are perfectly good meeting rooms!? Decline and fall of western civ etc
