I don't mind if people take 3 hrs to sip one cup of coffee, but it's definitely tacky to just take a table without ordering anything at all (and, like, isn't it illegal? It should be...). And if I am mooching a table with my books, I have no problem moving over for someone who actually has to juggle a hot coffee and muffin. My personal pet peeve about indy coffeehouses is actually the snotty staff and the incredibly abrasive music they often play. There's a time and a place for Gwar, and Tuesday morning when I'm studying ethics is not it. Really, if you're such a hipster, surely you can find a happy medium between deathmetal and canned Starbux jazz?
