A couple of days ago I sat in a café, working. I do this from time to time. Now, sharing tables is a perfectly ordinary part of Edinburgh café culture. I was a little surprised by this when I first came here (as most Norwegians would rather lose a leg than share a table with a perfect stranger), but I have come to rather like it.
I'm just trying to imagine my reaction to someone suddenly joining my table. I'm guessing speechless staring is right up there.
It is really quite common. Some cafés (like the Elephant House) are built around the concept, but they usually ask before they sit down.
I am still a little shocked about this woman. For all she knew, someone was using that seat but had got up to go to the toilet.

I think the problem is that you go into small cafés.
