go away

What I don't understand is how certain people can be so oblivious to social conventions.

I refer to the unspoken rule about seating arrangements in public places.

A long rectangular table, four chairs on each side. I sit in a chair at one end. All alone in the corner. The other 7 seats are empty.

What makes this old man think I want to sit right next to him? Isn't he interested in these other seats? Far away from me? Everyone else in the fucking library understands--look. Everyone is spaced out evenly. Why are there so many old people in this room.

It's time to go. Why did I use capitalization? I'm not going to fight it.
