I guess there is the forth group, the ones who want to be like the first group I described, but are still incapable of successfully mixing...these are the truly socially inept. In spite of their desire to fit in, they can't. That doesn't make them bad people, or worthy of ridicule, but for most, a group that is inconceivable.

Some introverts use their time along the wall to assess the crowd, so that when they do have their opportunity to say something, they successfully mix themselves with the crowd, regardless of whether they believe the crowd is worthy of being mixed with. Other wallflower ignore what is unfolding before them, so what they say is a hit or miss when it comes to their being embraced by the unwashed masses. And then there are those wallflowers who assess the crowd and then say exactly the thing that will ensure they will not be accepted by the "in crowd" because they don't want to be accepted by that crowd.

Forgive me, but. . .introvert? You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Yet, people act all offended when I point this out and accuse ME of being rude. Oh, the irony. Trust me, you'll know when I'm rude, and to be honest, I'm not rude, I'm just blunt. Deal with it.

I say what's on my mind. I don't mince my words or put sugar on them to flatter you people. I don't agree with lies. I'd much rather let people know what I think than be an agreeable moron who is too afraid to say anything.

I could write pages about the annoying habits of cafe patrons. There's the Cellphone Chatter, the Loudmouth Know-It-All, the Public Kissers, the Ostentatious Laugher, the Creepy Lech, the Bitchfest Girls, the Belligerent Panhandler, the Woman Who Wants Help with Her Computer, and the Cranky Old Fart Who Hates Obama...to name a few.

But in the end, it's a public space. Irritating jerks are part of the package.
