Sure.
Since I often dwell in my neighborhood coffee house, I know what it's like to get up and take a cell call outside or use the ladies', so it's a common courtesy by us shop dwellers to "watch each other's stuff. "
Recently I was asked to do this for a fellow dweller. He took his laptop with him (I noticed he took it to the gent's earlier, ew), but asked if I could watch his stuff while he ran a "quick errand" (cut to him and a group of people leisurely dining). Thing is, time was passing (visualize the minute hand spinning and spinning and spinning around the clock) and he didn't come back right away and I was ready to go and live my life in the free world.
Ugh. What would you do?
A) grab his bag and start posting on eBay?
B) leave his belongings to be rifled through by wild dogs and local riff-raff?
C) charge him by the minute?
D)???

E) Report suspicious, unattended packages to the management and relive the glory days of having a childhood pet when the K-9 squad (wild dogs of option B?) ravages his briefcase for smack and explosives.
D) Pack up your stuff, pretend his things are yours, and ask someone else to watch it for you. Leave. Laugh uncontrollably to yourself when you imagine the confusion as he returns and tries to take it back.
I would just leave...or maybe give the bags to the cashier. It kind of sucks that person put you in that situation!
"D" sounds interesting. I could think of many things to do to this guy and his belongings, but I want to get into heaven when I die.
I'mwith ashley.....jsut leave...but then you did tell him you would watch his stuff....ugh. People suck! lol
Wait till a new dweller sits nearby, and ask him/her to watch "your" stuff.
I'd steal.
Me might pass the buck to another patron or better yet the cashier.
But that's only if Me was a regular cutomer.
Iffin me wasn't Me might take alla his stuff and compile some kind of monsterous creation out of his belongings on the table. (as a tribute to Me self of course)
