I was at a Perkins restaurant over the weekend, enjoying a slice of French Silk Pie. Then I found myself annoyed at two people that had just arrived and were a few tables over from where I was sitting. They weren’t loud or verbally obnoxious. But they were standing at their table for the entire 10-15 minutes or so before their food arrived. I honestly don’t know why it bothered me. I just kept thinking “Would you please sit down?!”

So being the therapist I am, I started exploring why it bothered me. I reviewed recent days briefly, and the overall situation of my family, my job, and my life. After processing all that, I have concluded that the two people just annoyed me and it wasn’t me displacing my own stuff onto them.

I wonder if they always stand around at restaurants. At least it didn’t ruin my enjoyment of the French Silk Pie.
