True story.

The last time I went to Safeco, I bought tickets from someone off CraigsList. She was in a town on the other side of the Seattle Metro area, so we arranged to meet at a nearby Starbucks to make the exchange.

I went and waited at the Starbucks, but she didn’t show. I was almost ready to give up when she arrived. She forgot to specify which Starbucks. Yes, there were two Starbucks in the same freaking shopping center! WTF?

I'm especially fond of wrists, because

you can often get away with it on someone whom you’re not really intimate with. It’s the zone with the best erogenous-to-socially-acceptable ratio.
