11.13.25: Universal Coffee Shop Experience

Every coffee shop has that one person who's been sitting there for six hours with a single espresso, laptop open, clearly not working but maintaining the appearance of productivity. We all know because we've all been that person. You start checking emails, then somehow you're watching videos about deep sea creatures, then you're in a Wikipedia spiral about the history of Kazakhstan. Three hours vanish. You've written maybe two sentences. The barista has watched your complete descent into procrastination. They know. They've seen this exact performance a thousand times. You finally leave feeling accomplished about absolutely nothing.
