DH and I went to a local pub yesterday to play trivia like we do most Thursdays.
All the tables and the bar were full, so I was thinking that we would wait for one to empty.
Then a gal who was sitting by herself asked if we wanted to join her--she said the bar was full when she came in too. Turns out she was very nice and had come over for a drink after working next door. She was is new to town and I think was happy to meet some people her age beyond coworkers. She ended up playing with us which was fun. We told her we come most weeks and invited her to play with us any time.
So I guess also proof you can pick up friends in a bar, ha!
It cracked me up how that happened right after everyone was talking about it.
