I often meet people in public places because they live in another small town or on a ranch. I don't understand that if they say to meet at Cafe Something or Other, that doesn't mean to sit out anonymously in the vehicle hoping I will come right up to it. I always describe the bag I will be carrying but I have taken to saying I will go inside and find them or find a seat to wait. I've even had someone ask me to meet him in a busy truck stop who sat in his pickup truck that looks like 40 or so pickups on the property, expecting me to find him as he waited there at least a half hour. Like I am going to walk up to every strange man in a pickup. There was no phone reception there, so I had to borrow the store's land line phone to call his wife who then called him. At least I had his home number and at least he could receive the call from out of the area. |
