Maybe my hearing ain't 20/20—WHAT did he just ask me?

There's a Starbucks just up the street from where I work, and it's a popular morning stop for many of my co-workers. This morning I made a rare trip there before work (I don't drink a lot of coffee anymore), and while I was waiting in line, I swear I heard the person in front of me order, "One iced coffee with extra bacon."

Suffice it to say, that caught my attention. But it isn't the first time I've heard strange utterances from the people who frequent Starbucks. At the franchise in Pentagon Row one day, as I was leaving with a cup of pure foam cappuccino, I passed by a lady talking on her cell phone, who nearly made me drop my drink when I overheard her cell phone conversation: "So we're having sex at 9:45 on Tuesday, right?" (I don't know what's more shocking—the fact that she actually said that in public, or the fact that she has to arrange her sex life. I guess spontaneity isn't in someone's vocabulary!)

With it being lunch time, I'm about to head out the door to Cosi. I wonder what kind of people I'm going to encounter there . . .
