In my passive aggressive world, social interaction in coffee shops
takes place mostly over the top of the coffee cup as It is raised to
my face, purportedly for a sip of coffee but in actuality or just by
happy coincidence, to check out the hot number who is sitting
across
the store. Well I
may be passive aggressive but I have noticed that
there are a number of other furtive over-the-cup glancers who
keep
Starbucks in business.
I view this kind of social interaction as less awkward than regular
face to face negotiation and also a step toward the mediated,
assisted world that our awkwardly texting progenitors will inhabit.
So here is the idea: an extended brim to the coffee cup that is
made
of darkened transparent plastic. With these coffee cup sunglasses,
over-the-cup glances will be privatized.

This sounds like an eighteenth-century lady's fan, but with caffeine... which might actually be quite an attractive combination. |

I find that using my smartphone's camera as a
discrete periscope while moving my thumbs over
the screen as if I'm texting works pretty well,
especially with the zoom function. The art of being
a creep... Easy to learn, difficult to master. |

This is weird and good in that sneaky, spy-like style.
Like who is that man behind that coffee cup? (Hi 21 Quest,
was worried about you, glad you are back amoungst the
slightly off kilter.) |

//two cups of coffee//?! - but how? |

Would this not risk dislodging the user's tinfoil-lined solar topee ? |
