I overheard a curious couple at Starbucks.

The girl is reading her boyfriend's transcript incredulously, and she rips him apart mercilessly:

'You've been lying to me for two years! You told me you got straight A's. You told me you graduated with a GPA of 3.85!'

Boy says weakly, 'I said I got A's and B's...'

'This transcript says you've got C's and D's. C's and D's!!' She goes on a tirade, and all of Starbucks is her audience. Some words figured prominently in her speech: C's and D's, stupid and dumb, I got an A in history and I hate history.

Boy mutters something unintelligible.

'How did you get into your college? It's a good college! I really want to know.'

Boy gets up from his seat and tries to grab the transcript out of her hands. Boy loses fight. The tirade continues. Eventually the girl leaves in a huff and heads over to the Starbucks counter. It's my turn to leave too, and my last sight is of the boy biting his fingernails furiously, as the girl flirts outrageously with the Starbucks waiter. I am not sure whose behaviour I find more disagreeable.
